Clinical breast examination (CBE)

CBE is recommended for all women once a year after 30 years of age.
A clinical breast exam (CBE) is an examination of your breasts by a health professional such as a doctor, a nurse or medical social worker.
The health professional will first look carefully at your breasts for abnormalities/changes in the nipple, skin, size or shape of the breasts.
Then, using his or her fingers, the examiner will feel (palpate) your breasts for the presence of any lumps. S/he will also examine the area under both arms for any swelling of your lymph nodes.
