Abstract:	Breast cancer is a major public health problem in most countries of the world. The European Union breast cancer incidence is 109.8 / 100,000 women per year, breast cancer incidence in Romania increased from 25 / 100,000 women in 1988 to 50.56 / 100,000 women in 2006. In fact, this malignant tumor disease ranks first in cancer pathology in women. In terms of Arad County, in the period 1999-2009 can be clearly seen as a certain oscillation in the crescendo of the disease through breast cancer, especially among the female population. In absolute figures in 1999 breast cancer incidence in women was about 26 / 100,000 women and about 70 / 100,000 women in 2009. Relationship between year 1999 and 2009, when illness with breast cancer is 2.69, new cases recorded in 2009 are nearly three times more.
