title: Increasing compliance with breast self-examination.
abstract: The number of women who actually perform breast self-examination (BSE) monthly is less than desired. This is unfortunate since BSE is critical to the early detection of breast cancers. Common motivators and barriers to performance, and nursing strategies to increase the effectiveness of BSE, are explored in this review.
