Si zbulohet kanceri i gjirit:
1. Vetëkontrolli mujor i gjirit, i cili rekomandohet një herë në muaj duke filluar nga mosha 20 vjeç. Pas menstruacioneve, bëhen lëvizje rrotulluese me dorë duke kontrolluar gjinjtë, deri në pjesën e sipërme të kraharorit dhe sqetullave.
2. Ekzaminimi klinik, kontrolli përmes personelit mjekësor, që këshillohet 1 herë në vit.
3. Mamografia, që duhet kryer me patjetër nga moshat 35-40 vjeç të paktën një herë në dy vite, kap kancerin në faza shumë të hershme. Këshillohet të kryhet kur gjinjtë nuk janë të fryrë dhe nuk dhembin.
