“…Normal cells grow and divide for a period of time and then stop growing and dividing until its needed again to replace defective or dying cells [9], [10]. When this cell' reproduction become out of control and the cells lose their ability to stop dividing and spreading, a mass called tumor is formed and the cancer appears [9]- [11]. The tumor can be classified as benign or malign according to its features [9]- [11].…”

“…The screening programs are offered to normal-risk women beginning with ages comprised between 40 to 50 years old and ending with ages between 69 to 74 years old and usually in intervals of two years [3]. Mammography can be used to check for breast cancer in women without signs or symptoms of the disease and is characterized for being an imaging modality specifically for breast tissue, which uses low energy Xray [11]. From all the breast cancers detected by mammography screening, less than one third would also be detectable by clinical examination [3].…”

“…From all the breast cancers detected by mammography screening, less than one third would also be detectable by clinical examination [3]. Normally, in the screening programs, the mammography involves two views (X-ray images) of each breast and double reading [11]. With this technique it is possible the early detection of malignant tumours before the tumour spreads [11].…”

Breast cancer is a malignant epithelial neoplasm and it is a public health problem that has high incidence and mortality in women. Focusing the clinical performance on processes is proving to be the way to improve morbidity and mortality statistics. Business process management (BPM) is a management field that improves and analyzes business processes according to organizations' strategies. The early diagnosis of breast cancer is of great importance since it will enable more conservative treatments and a longer disease-free survival. Organized oncology screenings programs, with all elements properly prepared, revealed to be more efficient than the opportunistic screenings. BPM usage will enable optimize and manage all processes from the screening until the diagnosis and treatment. The aim of this study is identification and modelling of BPM processes for the healthcare sector, namely, for Portuguese organized breast cancer screening. To achieve this goal, it was required the identification of the main processes by an interview to the employees and the development of "As-Is" diagrams. Some of the problems in a macroscopic way were detected and improvement suggestions were made.
