Clinical Breast Examination (CBE)
New Jersey Health Wellness Promotion
Act requires many insurers to provide a 17-point "Healthful Life
Program" aimed at encouraging healthier living and catching problems
early with breast self-examination monthly starting at 30.
(Following Excerpt from US Preventive Services
Task Force at this Web
Address )
Routine screening for breast cancer every 1-2 years, with mammography alone
or mammography and annual clinical breast examination (CBE), is recommended
for women aged 50-69. There is insufficient evidence to recommend for or against
routine mammography or CBE for women aged 40-49 or aged 70 and older, although
recommendations for high-risk women aged 40-49 and healthy women aged Ú70
may be made on other grounds (see Clinical Intervention). There is insufficient
evidence to recommend for or against the use of screening CBE alone or the
teaching of breast self-examination.
