How to do self-examinations to detect cancer early?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Self exam of: Breast can find small lumps. All lumps are not cancer; not all lumps are 'seen' by mammo. The smaller the lesion, the better the outcome. Similar story to young men and testis. You 'see' yourself daily, and can get to know your body as you shower. Cheap, effective and safe.
