It is well recognized that breast self examination (BSE) is important in the mass screening of breast cancer. However, it is thought that patients with obesity might hesitate to perform BSE. We therefore examined the relationship between the frequency of BSE and grade of obesity as indicated by breast cap size in patients undergoing mass screening for breast cancer. Among postmenopausal patients (over 50 years old), fewer patients with obesity (65.8%) undertook BSE than non-obese patients (72.9%). The detection ratio for breast tumors less than 3 cm in diameter by BSE was 42.9% in obese patients and 84.2% in non-obese patients. This indicates that BSE is very important for detection of breast masses in postmenopausal patients with obesity.
