To our estimations annually breast cancer is registered in more than 2 million women in the world (1018% of all malignant tumors). According to the latest edition of the IARC “Cancer in 5 continents” (V. X, IARC Scientific Publication №164) the maximum standardized rate is recorded over 100 0/0000 in Belgium, Italy and France. The minimum standardized rate (less than 40 0/0000) is marked in Cuba, Turkey and Ukraine. Paying attention to the steady growth of primary cases of breast cancer in the world that are in the first place in the structure of cancer, one of the main tasks of cancer control becomes mass periodic examinations of healthy population to detect latent cancer in such stage when it can be cured completely. The purpose of the study is to investigate breast cancer epidemiology at the present stage and to develop an effective program for breast cancer secondary prevention. Materials and methods. In order to perform the study for the preventive realization there were selected the most suitable methods of mass screening of practically healthy women, modified software accumulation, collection and analysis of data, conducted pilot development on the basis of out-patient departments and the Oncology Center of the Moscow District of St. Petersburg.
