Improving diagnostic procedures that lead to premature identification of breast cancer has increased the incidence of cases, but have also reducing suffering and deaths from the disease. World Health Organization data show that each year, are nearly 13 million new cases of cancer worldwide and 7.5 million deaths from the disease. In women, the most prevalent cancer is breast cancer, in Brazil mortality rates remain high, most likely because the disease is diagnosed in advanced stages. In this study data is made a survey of the most common tests for the diagnosis of breast cancer, based on the strengths and weaknesses of each method and its effectiveness in the early diagnosis. This is intended to identify the drivers for innovation in this area and the newest methods that hechead the market. in the analyzes of results were observed: the most used diagnostic methods are: mammography, ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging, the most widely used for screening and early diagnosis is mammography. However it presents itself outdated and ineffective in decreasing deaths breast cancer. in addition, access to the exam is far from ideal and the technique itself depends on a number of factors, making it a flawed procedure. We conclude that there is a very broad field for innovation in the diagnosis of breast cancer, always looking for quick techniques, practices, values that fit all economic levels and to come up to where the old methods have failed. The new methods are very promising and have proven effective if properly distributed and targeted.
