1. Screening for breast cancer with mammography;
2. Manual lymphatic drainage for lymphedema following breast cancer treatment;
3. Conservative interventions for preventing clinically detectable upper-limb lymphoedema in patients who are at risk of developing lymphoedema after breast cancer therapy;
4. Mammography in combination with breast ultrasonography versus mammography for breast cancer screening in women at average risk; and
5. Trastuzumab-containing regimens for metastatic breast cancer.
