摘要：This article aims to discuss the ethical principles and Quaternary Prevention using a policy adopted by the Uruguayan government as example. This policy, which was created in 2006, instituted mass screening for breast cancer by means of compulsory mammography every two years, for women workers aged 40 to 59 years old. However, currently there is an international controversy over the relevance of breast cancer early detection programs, and some authors and institutions are raising concerns about the exercise of individual autonomy within a context that promotes the medicalization of life. In this context, it is fundamental that family physicians use an individualized approach that respects personal autonomy.
