Abstract

Implementation of screening methods led to considerable improvement in early diagnosis, and as a result in mortality of breast cancer. But in spite of that malignant affection of this organ still remains one of the most frequent all over the world. This phenomenon could be partially explained by the lack of description in detail of biological heterogeneity of the mammary carcinomas that would take in consideration such aspects like molecular alterations, cellular content and the sensibility towards the treatment.
