I don't think it is: a waste of time and money. Breast cancer is very common, and the main thing that really helps is early diagnosis. If you have lumpy breasts, early diagnosis can be difficult; and sometimes clinical exam by experienced surgeon is the only way to tell a benign lump from small cancer.
