Objective: To discover the relation between age and ethnicity with the molecular subtype of breast cancer in women. Methods: Systematic literature review study, structured according to the PRISMA methodology (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyzes), with the literary search carried out in the PUBMED, Virtual Health Library (VHL) and Scientific Electronic Libray Online databases (SciELO) using the descriptors in health sciences (DECS): Breast neoplasms, epidemiology, pathology, genetics. Results: Sixteen studies were selected through the search criteria for analysis in this study. Final considerations: the predominance of negative tumors for hormonal receptors (basal and overexpressed Her2 subtypes) was noticed in younger, black women, while there was a higher frequency of tumors with expression of hormonal receptors (luminous subtypes A and B) in women of old age and white. In this way, epidemiology can be combined with the pathology of breast cancer to enable the diagnosis of more aggressive tumors at an increasingly early stage.
