with breast cancer in the Pérola Byington Hospital, between the years 2000 and 2006. Methods: This was a cross

ex-smokers. The initial clinical staging of highest incidence are the II and III, representing together 66.5% of cases.
Before the first consultation, 91.3% of women had no diagnosis of breast cancer and no prior treatment. Conclusion:
