Abstract

This study aimed to quantify the actual number of breast cancer present in both genders by determining the prevalence of silent breast cancer in corpses. We quantified the imaging-identified cancers that were not clinically manifested, with the thesis hypothesis that the natural reservoir of silent breast cancer is greater than the actual incidence of the disease, a hypothesis that was not confirmed.
