作为卫生部全国乳房检查试验的一部分，哈德斯菲尔德正在进行一项为期七年的研究，以评估乳房自我检查教育方案对45-64岁妇女乳腺癌死亡率的影响。最初的22，484名女性已经完成了3年的研究，并显示出高于预期的乳腺癌年发病率。参加BSE指导会议的人和没有参加的人之间的发病率没有显著差异。同样，参加这些会议的人和未参加会议的人之间以及第一、第二和第三年发现的癌症之间，癌症的发病阶段也没有区别。然而，那些在自我检查中发现异常的女性，与其他女性相比，肿块较小。评估预后因素没有在这个时候提供足够的证据表明，以社区为基础的BSE运动将导致乳腺癌的表现阶段的显着改善。
As part of the Department of Health's National Breast Screening Trial a seven year study is in progress in Huddersfield to assess the effect of an educational programme in Breast Self Examination (BSE) on the mortality due to breast cancer among women aged 45-64. The initial cohort of 22,484 women have completed 3 years in the study and show a higher than expected annual incidence rate of breast cancer. There is no significant difference in the incidence rates between those who attended meetings for BSE instruction and those who did not. Similarly there is no difference in stages of presentation of cancers between attenders and non-attenders at these meetings and also between cancers detected in the first, second and third years. Those who discovered abnormalities during self examination, however, presented with smaller lumps compared to other women. Assessment of prognostic factors do not at this time provide sufficient evidence to show that a community-base BSE campaign will result in a significant improvement in the stage of breast cancer presentation.
