Show students the basic principles of prevention, especially breast cancer. Explain to students the anatomy and pathological changes in breast diseases. Identify and classify risk factors for breast cancer. To enable students to distinguish basic radiological imaging methods in breast disease diagnosis; mammography, breast ultrasound and breast magnetic resonance imaging. To explain to students the principle of a multidisciplinary approach in the treatment of breast cancer.
