A Clinical Breast Examination (CBE) is a physical examination of the breasts performed by a healthcare professional, typically during a routine check-up. The purpose of a CBE is to detect any unusual changes, lumps, or abnormalities in the breast tissue that may require further investigation. This examination is an important part of breast health and can help identify potential issues early. During a CBE, the healthcare provider will visually inspect the breasts and palpate them to feel for any irregularities. It is recommended that women have a CBE as part of their regular health screenings, especially if they are at higher risk for breast conditions, such as those with a family history of breast cancer or other related factors.
