Breast cancer is one of the most common type of cancer found in women. About 7 000 women with breast cancer are diagnosed in Czech Republic annually. In the Czech Republic, a screening program was launched in September 2002 to search early (asymptomatic and therefore potentially more curable) breast cancer. The fundamental role of radiodiagnostics is in the detection of disease and in dispensary care within the so-called tertiary prevention (prevention of women with a personal history of breast cancer). The radiologist is involved in therapeutic procedures and in the diagnosis and therapy of possible treatment-related complications. In the case of breast cancer detection, the radiologist must primarily support the woman. The radiologist is an integral part of the multidisciplinary team, along with an oncologist, surgeon, plastic surgeon and other breast cancer specialists.
