An Australian breast cancer surgeon hopes a new campaign encouraging teenage girls to check their breasts will one day be as popular as the ‘Slip, Slop, Slap’ message.

Associate Professor Sanjay Warrier, president of Breast Surgeons of Australia & New Zealand, says self-checks should be taught in schools as a way of encouraging younger women to look after their breast health.
