“Objectives: To investigate and analyze the profile of patients undergoing mammography in Goiás. Methodology: This resume is an epidemiologic analysis with secondary data from SISMAMA, during September 2009 to February 2014, using the items localization, period, number of mammography performed, clinical indication, age, color and race of women, high risk for breast cancer, schooling and BIRADS classification. Results: According to data, during this period were performed 222,012 mammograms. Of these, 97.2% had as clinical indication the screening, the age group between 45 and 49 years was the most assisted, followed by the range of 40 to 44 years. A percentage of 99.8% of the tests were performed on women, following the descending order of color / race: brown, white, black, yellow and indigenous. Of patients undergoing examination, 0.06% had high risk for breast cancer. As for education, followed by those ignored or left in blank (62.8%), are the completed and incompleted primary education, respectively, 19.5% and 0.08%. As for the BIRADS classification, the majority of results were in category 1 (52.2%), followed by categories 2 (31.5%), 0 (12.1%), 3 (0.02%), 4 ( 0.01%), 5 and 6. Of the patients that had clinical examination evidence (0.01%), 73% were classified as category 1. Conclusion: Breast cancer is the main cause of morbidity and mortality in women, except for nonmelanoma skin cancer, both in Goiás and in Brazil. We see in our results the age group coverage just below the priority told by the Ministry of Health, which would be 50 to 69 years, by Decree 1253/13. We can also see that even with the medical clinical examination findings, the vast majority of tests are negative, or benign findings. However, the amount of women with breast cancer diagnosis remain significant. It emphasizes the great importance of the mammography in the prevention of breast cancer.Key words: epidemiologic, mammography, Goias, breast cancer”
