Doing the Charleston

Abstract

Early detection of breast cancer can lead to increased survival rates. Literature review related to breast self-examination, mammography, and clinical breast examination, addressed: What are the issues related to compliance with early detection methods in breast cancer? How might nurses integrate the identified issues in their practice? What educational programs need to be implemented to increase compliance with early detection methods of breast cancer? History of benign breast biopsy, instruction and structured support, age, income, educational level, attitude, culture, ethnicity, and other factors are issues related to compliance with early detection methods in breast cancer. Integration of these issues into nursing practice can occur by educating clients about the importance of early detection and compliance with the methods used to detect breast cancer. Nurses need to participate in research related to noncompliance with detection methods.
