PERFIL EPIDEMIOLÓGICO DAS PACIENTES COM CÂNCER DE MAMA ATENDIDAS EM JUIZ DE FORA – MINAS GERAIS (MG), BRASIL / EPIDEMIOLOGICAL PROFILE OF BREAST CANCER PATIENTS TREATED IN JUIZ DE FORA - MINAS GERAIS (MG), BRAZIL

Breast cancer is a multifactorial disease that have been increasing in an alarm rate worldwide, and has overweight and obesity as important risk factors, being considered a significant public health problem.
