Breast Cancer Detection: The Development and Pilot Study of a “Tactile Landscape” as a Standardized Testing Tool
Conclusions
All students but one performed poorly in comparison to the experts. This indicates that the test could be useful to test students' ability to identify and discriminate breast masses. If successful, it will add previously missing capability to the mix of assessment instruments already used, thus potentially improving clinical breast examination training and assessment.
