Abstract

This publication contains an overview of the cyto-biological technologies utilized in breast cancer diagnosis. It refers to technologies created de novo and heralded as a breakthrough ones, as well as to those existing for years. An integration of new diagnostic biogenetic methods, with imaging techniques such as mammography, have become essential in order to cope with the requirements of early detection of breast tumours. Apart from the new and innovative diagnostic techniques, this publication also presents an outline of recommendations for genetic diagnostics as well as cooperative and multidisciplinary integrative activities, which are prerequisites for successful diagnosis and treatment and, consequently, longer survival periods upon which patients rely.
