Abstract
Revisão integrativa que identificou nas publicações da LILACS, SciELO e PubMed, período 2004-2009, fatores contribuintes para a elevação das taxas de sobrevida em cinco anos e sobrevida livre de doenças em cinco anos das mulheres com câncer de mama. Os resultados, 40 publicações, demonstraram maior incidência da doença nas idades 50-60 e 40-49 anos. Programas de rastreamento, elevação da escolaridade, do padrão socioeconômico, métodos diagnósticos genéticos, imuno-histoquímicos e citológicos, associação das novas terapêuticas com as convencionais são fatores contribuintes para elevação das taxas de sobrevidas, da qualidade de vida e do cuidado à mulher com câncer de mama.

The total number of subjects, as regards the 40 publications, was 1,152,521, with the minimum number of subjects being seven[26] and the maximum 1,000,000.46 The study that included 1,000,000 subjects was conducted in the Netherlands and evaluated the impact on survival according to the socioeconomic status, after the implementation of a mammography breast cancer screening program
The epidemiological data encountered indicated that the highest incidence for breast cancer is in the age group of 50 and 60 years, followed by the age group 40 to 49.3,20,39,43 this reaffirms the necessity of conducting mammography examinations from the age of 50, as established by the International Consensus for the Control of Breast Cancer,[47] and the Brazilian initiative, which instituted mammography for all women from the age of 40 approaching this reality
Summary
Each year approximately 1.3 million women are affected by breast cancer worldwide, making it the most common malignancy in females. Some risk factors are related to breast cancer. The increasing age of the woman is one of these factors, with the incidence doubling every ten years until the menopause.[1,2,3,4] Geographic variations, ethnicity and race are influential. In the West, the number of cases of breast cancer is higher than in the East. Menarche and late menopause increase the risk for breast cancer, as well as nulliparity and an increased age at the first birth.[2,4]
