Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A mammogram is the best tool for early detection of breast cancer, as it can detect small tumors before they can be felt by self-examination or a physical exam. While a breast self-exam is also important, it should not replace regular mammograms. A Pap smear is used to detect cervical cancer, not breast cancer. Mastectomy is a surgical procedure used to treat breast cancer, not to detect it.
