    ntroduction: Breast cancer is a major public health problem. It is the main cause of mortality in the female population. In the face of the impossibility of primary prevention measures that impede the development of breast cancer, efforts have been directed at scheduling secondary prevention measures through early detection. Early diagnosis and timely initiation of treatment may alter staging and consequently prognosis. It is noteworthy that the physicians of the Family Health Strategy (FHS) play a fundamental role in the information and awareness of women for the early detection of the disease. Objectives: To verify the opinion about the practices of breast cancer care in FHS physicians in the Municipality of Santos. Method: This is a research with a qualitative approach, with physicians from ESF teams in the municipality of Santos with more than one year of operation. Data were collected from July to August 2016 through semi-structured interviews. The analysis of the data was performed by the technique of content analysis proposed by Bardin. Results: Of the 21 invited physicians, 17 interviews were carried out. Units in operation for more than a year are located in the Morros, Northwest Zone and Continental Area. There was a similar proportion between men and women and the age varied between 29 and 72 years. Most are foreigners participating in the Mais Médicos Program. The totality of doctors knows the practices recommended in women's health, and most of them practice them, and there is no great difficulty in carrying out the requested tests. Doctors know the specialty reference (secondary care) and refer referral patients. The issue of lack of health education was pointed out as a difficulty, as well as the need for a specialist (Gynecologist) in family health.: The creation of new NASFs and the increase of gynecologists and pediatricians in the teams should be the proposal to strengthen the FHS in the city of Santos, providing better resolution of cases in Primary Care. Intensifying surveillance in women's health may be a strategy for early detection of breast cancer.
