The detection of breast cancer should include: self-examination, clinical examination, and mammography.

Self-exam is recommended for all women over 20 years; which aims to sensitize women about breast cancer, have a better understanding of their own body and identify abnormal changes to the demand for appropriate medical attention.

The clinical examination should be performed annually, starting at age 25, by health personnel trained in breast examination.

Mammograms are recommended in apparently healthy women between 40 and 69 years old, every two years.

In Mexico since 2006, breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in women.
