    • Breast cancer incidence is increasing.
    • Mammography has limitations in detection and accessibility.
    • Breast self-examination (BSE) is an underutilized detection technique.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To highlight the importance of breast self-examination (BSE).
    • To advocate for nurses teaching BSE to all female patients.
    • To emphasize BSE as a key component of breast cancer self-care.
