Abstract

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women in both developed and developing countries. The incidence of breast cancer is increasing in the developing world due to longer life expectancy, increased urbanization and the adoption of Western lifestyles. Although they reduce risk to a certain extent, prevention strategies cannot eliminate most cases of breast cancer in low-income countries, where the diagnosis of the disease is made at an advanced clinical stage. Thus, very early detection is the cornerstone of breast cancer control, because its treatment is relatively simple, without high morbidity generated by the usually aggressive treatment of disseminated cancer with chemotherapy and radiotherapy
