Explanation:
Performing a "breast self-exam" is<em> crucial</em> in detecting<em> early signs of breast cancer. </em>Early detection gives one a chance to have an early treatment that is mostly successful.
If a woman notices a breast lump, it is important to call the doctor about it. This is coupled with other screening methods that are used to check for signs of breast cancer. Most of the breast lumps are <em><u>non-cancerous</u></em>, so it's important not to panic. Other signs that need a doctor's attention are: <em>dimpling, swelling, puckering, uneven breasts, bulging of the skin, fluid coming out of the nipple(s), etc.</em>
