Article Synopsis
- Breast cancer is the most prevalent cancer among women globally, and research indicates that larger tumors increase the risk of metastatic disease, prompting an evaluation of breast self-examination (BSE) versus breast awareness.
- The Commission of Senology (CS) of CNGOF utilized established assessment methods to determine the effectiveness of BSE across different groups of women, including general and high-risk populations.
- The findings suggest BSE is not recommended for the general female population, who are encouraged to rely on clinical exams and screenings, while no clear guidelines were established for women over 75 or those with a history of breast cancer due to insufficient data on BSE's benefits for these groups.
Objectives: Breast cancer is the most common female cancer in the world. In France, over 60,000 new cases are currently diagnosed, and 12,000 deaths are attributed to it annually. Numerous studies have shown that the risk of metastatic disease increases with tumor volume.

In France, the Haute Autorité de santé (HAS) published recommendations in 2015 and 2020 concerning the conditions of use of LM on the treated and contralateral breast. These appear to be inconsistently followed.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact on diagnostic performance of obtaining a DBT spot compression view for assessment of equivocal DBT findings. This retrospective study included 102 women (mean age, 60 years) in whom a DBT spot compression view was obtained to characterize an equivocal finding on DBT at the performing radiologist's discretion.

Design: The CNGOF CS, composed of 24 experts, developed these recommendations. A policy of declaration and monitoring of links of interest was applied throughout the process of making the recommendations.
