title: [Risk factors in the determination of breast cancer].
abstract: Early diagnosis of breast cancer presupposes the periodic execution of an array of physical and instrumental examinations. The concept of "risk factors" is needed to single out women for whom screening is desirable. Reference is made to the main risk factors currently recognised, and an attempt is made to determine the extent of their incidence in the determination of breast cancer.
