ResumoObjective: To present the current breast cancer screening guidelines in Brazil, as devised by the Brazilian College of Radiology and Diagnostic Imaging (CBR), the Brazilian Society for Breast Disease (SBM) and the Brazilian Federation of Gynecological and Obstetrical Associations (FEBRASGO).Methods: We analyzed scientific studies available in Medline and Lilacs databases.In the absence of evidence, the guidelines reflected the consensus opinion of an expert panel.Guidelines: Annual mammography screening is recommended for women aged 40-74 years.Among women aged 75 years or older, annual mammography screening should be reserved for those with an expected survival of 7 years or more.Complementary ultrasound should be considered for women with dense breasts.Complementary magnetic resonance imaging is recommended for women at high risk.When available, an advanced form of mammography known as tomosynthesis can be considered as a means of screening for breast cancer.
