ABSTRACT

Introduction. Today, breast cancer is the most common form of cancer and is the second leading cause of death among women ages 30 to 54 years, exceeding cervical cancer. The largest percentage of cases is concentrated in the Federal District and the State of Mexico. Mammography is the primary imaging method used to detect breast cancer and should not be denied to any woman for economic reasons.
Material and methods. A retrospective, longitudinal study was conducted at Hospital General de Mexico, which included all patients admitted to undergo studies in the Breast Imaging Unit in the period from October 1, 2009, through September 30, 2010.
Results. 3,672 breast image studies were performed, 3,663 on women and only 9 on men; the largest group of patients was between ages 40 and 59 years, 67% were in BI-RADS category 2 while the BI-RADS 4, 5, and 6 groups combined represented 7.2%. The most common reason for referral was opportune detection of breast cancer followed by diagnosis of breast cancer per se.
Conclusions. Because there are well known risk factors for breast cancer, breast selfexamination and questioning and clinical examination by the doctor are of vital importance. Image studies play a fundamental role in screening and diagnosis of breast disorders.
