Abstract
This carcinoma is in first position for incidence and mortality in french women. About 1 of 11 women is going to have a breast carcinoma. Screening for this cancer was first developped with clinical exam, but currently it is well known that the most profitable method is screening with mammography. Performing mammography each 2 years after the age of 50 years, allows to detect small carcinomas easily curable. Screening with mammography on large populations gives a 30% decrease in breast cancer mortality.
