Clinical Breast Examination

A Clinical Breast Examination (CBE) is a medical check-up where a healthcare professional carefully feels your breasts and nearby lymph nodes to detect any unusual lumps, thickening, or changes. It is usually done with the patient sitting or lying down and can help identify potential signs of breast issues early, including cancer. While it doesn't replace imaging tests like mammograms, it is an important part of routine breast health assessment, especially for those at higher risk or during regular health screenings. Regular CBEs can assist in early detection and prompt further investigation if needed.
