Despite scientific developments in the early detection and treatment of tumoral diseases, breast cancer continues as a cause of death all over the world, standing it, as the second cause of death in women regardless of the group of ages. The predictions accomplished by specialized centers consider that trends toward high growth rate must continue in next years, since this pathology is not considered a recognized priority in all of the countries, among other reasons. Important habits such as: monthly breast self-examination and annual examination carry out by specialists are left behind, thus the disease is detected in advanced stages.
