  3. Diagnosis of Breast Cancer SafeMedTrip.com Breast Self-Examination (BSE) Breast Self-Examination (BSE) It is a screening method used in an attempt to detect early breast cancer. The method involves the woman herself looking at and feeling each breast for possible lumps, distortions or swelling. It's easy to perform a breast self-examination, and it only takes a few minutes. Although it might seem strange or inconvenient at first, BSE is a skill you can use throughout your life to help ensure good breast health.
