Most cases of breast cancer have a good prognosis.

According to updated guidelines from national and international health institutes, mammography should be performed every two years, starting at 50 years of age.  

Prevention can be done daily, with the adoption of healthy habits, such as:
- Practice of physical activities.
- Maintenance of adequate body weight.
- Balanced diet, guided by a nutritionist.

Breastfeeding also helps reduce the risk of cancer through its effect on the cells and glandular tissues of the breast.
