The objective of this article was to describe the situation of breast cancer in the Azuero Region. Regarding the methodology used to obtain information on the topic raised, the type of study was used: descriptive, with a non-experimental design, with a qualitative approach; The population included the cases from 2023 at the national level and the sample included the cases from 2023 in the Azuero region, with a type of non-probabilistic, intentional sampling. To collect data, the bibliographic review technique was used with its information matrix instrument. For data analysis, tectonic criteria related to the topic of breast cancer were used using Microsoft Word software. In addition, we can mention that in the findings of said research we have that, in the population nationwide in 2023, there were more than 570 new cases of breast cancer, which have been treated until August 2023, at the National Oncology Institute, With a total of 1,351 mammograms and the sample in the Azuero region of 2023, 68 mammograms and 16 ultrasounds were performed.
