ABSTRACT
Breast cancer ranks second of all malignancies in the world
(1.38 million, 10.9%), only behind lung cancer. According to
publications, more than a million of cases are diagnosed around
the world, which cause 548,000 deaths in women. In Mexico,
breast cancer mortality rate is 14.9 deaths per 100,000 women
aged 25 years. The 60% of women who die are between 30 and
59 years old. Etiology of this disease is unknown, however, it
is considered to be a multifactorial disease. Although genetic
factors have been identified as BRCA-1 and 2, and it is reported
that 15-20% of patients with this cancer have a family history,
nowadays, the genes responsible have not been identified, and
the largest percentage of women with this cancer are sporadic
cases. Therefore, the study of genetic variants hampering cell
bioenergetics and molecular biology of the tumor, are of major
importance for understanding sporadic breast cancer and the
consequent development of therapeutic strategies. There are
descriptions of a wide variety of mitochondrial disorders associated
with breast cancer. The objective of this paper is to review
these factors.
