Abstract:
Breast cancer currently represents one of the largest public health problems in Mexico and in the world, since it is the first cause of death due to neoplasia in women over 25 years. The first official statistical records in Mexico correspond to 1982, and worldwide to 1926. However, records of very ancient civilizations denote their existence for millennia. This review summarizes part of the history of breast cancer, from Egyptians to present day, including beliefs that were held about this disease, as well as contributions of great scientists who helped understanding and marked the course in prevention and treatment of breast cancer.
