Abstract
The incidence of breast cancer has declined in recent years, however, it remains a significant health problem in the United States. The reduction in incidence may be attributed to both a decrease in combination hormone therapy due to increased breast cancer risk and an increase in the use of screening mammography. Controversy in the guidelines continues regarding the frequency of screening mammography, the use of clinical breast examination and the value of breast self examination. This paper provides nurse practitioners with information to assist them in making recommendations for breast cancer screening to patients.
