Abstract:
Authors, after a short dissertation about evolution, trough out the years, of the diagnosis and the therapy of the mammary carcinoma, specify the leading role of primary prevention. Self palpation and the mammography reduce of about 30% the mortality. Modern pharmacology and radiotherapy allow a surgical preservative approach, produce better esthetic and functional results. Preservative therapy (QUART) also warrants a good quality of life, and allows the excellent control of primary disease.
