Summary:The early detection of breast neoplasia, using mammography as a screening method, is important because it iscapable to change the natural progression of the disease and it allows the conservative surgery, leading to a decrease ofthe mortality by breast cancer. There are 3 study cases presented here, women aged 48, 56 and 64 years old respectively, diagnosed with breast cancer by mammography in "Elena Doamna" Clinical Hospital of Obstetrics Gynecology Iasi. The diagnostic was confirmed anatomo-pathologically. Invasive ductal carcinoma can be found in all ages; invasive lobularcarcinoma shows an increase in the incidence over the age of 55, and carcinomatous mastitis is frequent for the patientsover 60 years old. Here are the main risk factors for breast neoplasia: obesity, late menopause, lack of breast-feeding,early menarche and breast neoplasia in the family history. Radical surgical treatment is a first-line therapy, the post-operatory evolution being favourable regardless of age.
