Mammary neoplasia is the disease responsible for the largest number of premature deaths in women worldwide; this disease may be a result of the incompatibility of environmental and genetic factors with the individual’s routine. It is very important that women frequently perform the examinations, so that in case of positive diagnostic the treatment starts early in initial stage, thereby increasing the chances of cure. For neoplasia diagnostic there are some tests which are used in its detection, such as the self-examination, ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging, mammography, molecular markers, NAF test, mammaPrint, ductal lavage and biopsy. All these techniques can be performed to diagnose the disease and indicate its degree of evolution facilitating the description for appropriate treatment. It may be a clinical or surgical treatment, depending on the stage of the disease. Surgical treatment are done by removing the site affected by neoplasia in order to preserve the breasts physical structures, the clinical treatment process is performed by chemotherapeutic or hormonal therapy medications. The present paper aims to conduct a study of the techniques used in mammary neoplasia analysis, performed by a bibliographic survey which has been based on the analysis of articles dealing about the highlighted subjects, simplifying future researches in the area that may find in this paper a subsidy for more deeper researchers, building a process of new ideas formation about these techniques.
