title: [Inspection in the diagnosis of breast carcinoma].
abstract: The School of Centre Broca has improved the clinical procedures of early  detection of breast carcinoma. For 421 checked up carcinomas, including micro-carcinomas, in more than 9 out of 10 cases, the diagnosis has been based on the inspection signs. The latter has to be a dynamical inspection. Description is given of the various phases of this inspection, i.e. postural phases and phases of mobilization. The rate of the false negative clinical results does not exceed the one of each of the para-clinical investigations (mammography or thermography). An early detection of a mass may be made if each practioner contraints himself to perform systematically in his female patients the dynamic inspection of the breast.
