Introduction:
breast cancer is the second cause of mortality in Cuban women, exceeded in the last three years only by tracheal, bronchial and lung neoplasms.
Objective:
to describe several epidemiological characteristics related to this disease.
Material and method:

The sample was formed by 288 women, and for data analyses were used absolute frequencies and percents.
Results: there was a predominance of white patients (65.6 %), aged 40-69 years (71.2 %), and without familiar antecedents of breast cancer (86.1 %). The clinical-pathological variables were characterized by the predominance of stage II patients (62.2 %), with menopausal status at the moment they were diagnosed (56.9 %), and with a tumor sized 2-5 cm (77.4 %). The most frequent histological kind was the duct infiltrative carcinoma that was present in 85.7 % of the series; histological grade II tumor was diagnosed in 43.6 % of the patients. it is important to say that 61.1 % of the studied women showed gangliar affectation at the moment of the diagnosis.
Conclusions:
