Position the patient at 45 degrees, rolled slightly to the contralateral side being examined. Start examining the normal breast first. The hand of the side being examined should be behind her head.
Palpate the 4 quadrants and the central nipple (ask first, because it is sensitive). The most common site for malignancies is the upper, outer quadrant.

Palpate the contralateral side.
Feel for infra and supraclavicular lymph nodes.
