title: Teaching early breast cancer detection strategies.
abstract: Breast cancer is the most common cancer occurring among women. Currently, breast cancer can be detected early and treated effectively if all asymptomatic women participate in the screening program. Screening strategies include a mammogram, medical examination of the breast, and breast self-examination. This article describes the nurse's role in promoting and decreasing barriers to these strategies for early detection of breast cancer.
