Breast cancer is defined as changes in the uncontrolled growth of cells in breast tissue that occur abnormally in the mammary glands (lobules) or in the ducts that connect the lobules to the nipple. The present study is an epidemiological study of breast cancer in Iran. The browsing documents searched in the Google Scholar, Sid and Mag Iran databases were analyzed using the keywords epidemic, cancer, breast. Based on the results obtained in this study, the incidence and death rate and burden of breast cancer in Iran has risen significantly, compared with previous years. Because of the vital role of women in the family, economy, health, development and other areas, early detection of breast cancer and its prevention according to its high prevalence around the world, as one of the best approaches to control this disease, is important.
