RESUMO
O câncer de mama é a segunda neoplasia mais frequente no mundo e a mais comum entre as mulheres. Apesar de ser considerado um câncer de bom prognóstico se diagnosticado e tratado oportunamente, as taxas de mortalidade continuam elevadas no Brasil; muito provavelmente porque a doença ainda é diagnosticada em estádios avançados. No presente artigo, os autores apresentam definições acerca do câncer de mama e discutem o seu tratamento locorregional.
ABSTRACT
The breast cancer is the second most frequent tumor in the world and the most common among women. Although it is considered a good prognostic cancer if diagnosed and treated in time, the rates of mortality keep high in Brazil, probably because the disease is still diagnosed in advanced stage. In this article, the authors present definitions about breast cancer and discuss the local treatment.
