The method of self-breast is not as effective as it was written before

Women is not the breast self-test for the prevention and early detection of the tumor as effectively as mentioned above, the researchers reported. Experts say there is no evidence that strict monthly self decrease in deaths from breast cancer, but this can lead to unnecessary biopsies. Scientists have conducted two studies involving about 388,535 women from Russia and China. About half of the participants used a breast self-examination, and the other half do not use this method. As a result, experts found that the mortality rate for breast cancer in both groups was similar. And the number of biopsies was twice higher in the group, where women used self-test. According to researchers, the self test has not reduced the number of deaths, and only leads to unnecessary biopsies. At this time, we do not recommend, a method of self-breast, as an effective, scientists say.
