Asian Society of Mastology (ASOMA) is an international body of experts from disciplines of surgery, radiology, pathology, medical and radiation oncology, plastic surgery, and breast support group dedicated to improving the care of patients with breast diseases. The clinical breast assessment (CBA) of patients with a focused history and clinical breast examination (CBE) is an essential and initial component of triple assessment in the evaluation of patients presenting with breast diseases. CBE is also an affordable method of screening for breast cancer. It adds to breast imaging by providing additional information about the breast lesion and providing a sense of reassurance to the patients. CBA needs to be implemented in a systematic and uniform fashion throughout the world by all the clinicians involved in breast care. The optimal method for CBE has not yet been fully established. This article highlights the importance of CBE and discusses the studies comparing various methods of CBE on breast models and human subjects to provide the evidence to support the most valid and reliable method of CBE.
