Mass screening for breast cancer was excluded from the Elderly Health Law in 1998. A high-quality, low-cost replacement is therefore needed. We propose a mass screening format with breast self-examination (BSE). Previously we reported that women should attain a performance level of B or greater in order to demonstrate mastery of BSE. However, this is not easy. Among those who were instructed individually in BSE at yearly intervals, minimal improvement was noted over 3 sessions of yearly mass screening. Therefore, as annual instruction in BSE appears ineffective, the ideal frequency and time period of effective BSE instruction were investigated. One hundred and twenty women who consulted Kotsuma Clinic because of breast diseases between June and July 1997 served as subjects. Twenty nine women (24%) had never been instructed in BSE, while 91 (76%) had. Ten of these (11%) had already attained a performance level of B or greater and were excluded. The remaining 110 women were divided into two groups. Group I were instructed in BSE monthly until they attained level B. Group II were instructed in BSE every 2 to 3 months. Fifty percent of Group I attained level B within 3 months, while only 38% of Group II attained level B within one year. Serial BSE instruction at short intervals appeared most effective. Women with abnormal findings can undergo further evaluation by screening mammography.
