Purpose: to review the latest published recommendations and modern programs for breast cancer screening.

Materials and methods. An analysis of full-text publications was conducted, which were selected through a literature search in foreign databases (PubMed, Scopus, Lancet, ScienceDirect-Elsevier) and domestic databases for the period 2019–2024.

Results. An analytical review of the literature analyzed the experience of using screening programs and modern methods of diagnosing malignant breast tumors in Ukraine and abroad.

Conclusion. Measures for early (timely) detection of cancer of a given localization, primary and secondary prevention (through the introduction of modern screening programs, restoration of an effective system of preventive examinations of the population for the presence of oncological diseases), measures for dispensary monitoring of patients after surgical treatment will allow to achieve a significant reduction in mortality from breast cancer and medical care costs.
