ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: To evaluate variations in the body mass index in patients undergoing adjuvant chemotherapy for breast cancer, and to associate these changes with patient's age and adjuvant chemotherapy regimen. METHODS: We performed a retrospective cohort study in order to correlate any variation in the body mass index before and after adjuvant chemotherapy with patient's age and adjuvant chemotherapy regimen. Patients who received any form of prior hormone therapy, such as tamoxifen or aromatase inhibitors, were excluded. We selected data for 196 patients with stage I to III breast cancer who were treated by radical or conservative surgery and received adjuvant chemotherapy at the Cancer Institute of the State of São Paulo, Brazil. RESULTS: Before adjuvant chemotherapy, 67.8% of patients were classified as overweight or obese according to their body mass indices. Around 66.3% (95% CI 59.7–73.0) of the patients exhibited an increase in the body mass index after adjuvant chemotherapy. The average age of all patients was 56.3±11.3 years. Participants whose body mass index increased were younger than those with no increase (54.7±11.1 versus 59.3±11.2 years; p=0.007). Patients were treated with the following adjuvant chemotherapy regimens: doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide, and paclitaxel (AC-T, 129 patients, 65.8%); 5-fluoracil, doxorubicin, and cyclophosphamide (36 patients, 18.4%); cyclophosphamide, methotrexate, and 5-fluoracil (16 patients, 8.2%); docetaxel and cyclophosphamide (7 patients, 3.6%); and other regimen (8 patients, 4.1%). The AC-T regimen showed a statistically significant association with increase in the body mass index (p<0.001 by ANOVA). CONCLUSIONS: Most patients with breast cancer showed an increase in the body mass index after adjuvant chemotherapy, especially after the AC-T chemotherapy regimen. .


OBJETIVO: Avaliar variações no índice de massa corpórea em pacientes que estão passando por quimioterapia devido ao câncer de mama, e relacionar tais alterações com a idade da paciente e o regime de quimioterapia. MÉTODOS: Estudo de coorte retrospectivo que correlacionou variações no índice de massa corpórea pré- e pós-quimioterapia com a idade da paciente e o regime de quimioterapia. Foram excluídas as pacientes que receberam terapia hormonal prévia, seja como tamoxifeno ou inibidores da aromatase. Os dados de 196 pacientes com estágio I a III de câncer de mama foram selecionados, e elas foram tratadas por cirurgia radical ou conservadora que receberam quimioterapia adjuvante no Instituto do Câncer do Estado de São Paulo, Brasil. RESULTADOS: Antes da quimioterapia adjuvante, 67,8% das pacientes foram classificadas com sobrepeso ou obesas de acordo com seus índices de massa corpórea. Aproximadamente 66,3% (IC95% 59,7–73,0) das pacientes exibiram aumento no índice de massa corpórea após a quimioterapia adjuvante. A média de idade das pacientes foi de 56,3± 11,3 anos. Pacientes que apresentaram aumento no índice de massa corpórea eram mais jovens do que aquelas que não apresentaram aumento algum (54,7±11,1 versus 59,3±11,2 anos; p=0,007). As pacientes foram tratadas com os seguintes regimes de quimioterapia: doxorrubicina, ciclofosfamida e paclitaxel (AC-T, 129 pacientes, 65,8%); 5-fluoracil, doxorrubicina e ciclofosfamida (36 pacientes, 18,4%); ciclofosfamida, metotrexato e 5-fluoracil (16 pacientes, 8,2%); docetaxel e ciclofosfamida (7 pacientes, 3,6%) e outros regimes (8 pacientes, 4,1%). O regime AC-T mostrou uma relação significativa com o aumento do índice de massa corpórea (p<0,001 por ANOVA). CONCLUSÕES: A maioria das pacientes ...

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVO: avaliar a taxa de concordância da biópsia percutânea com agulha grossa guiada por ultrassom seguida pela biópsia excisional em nódulos de mama palpáveis, sugestivos de tumores fibroepiteliais. MÉTODO: estudo retrospectivo que selecionou 70 biópsias com diagnóstico histológico de tumor fibroepitelial em 67 dentre 531 pacientes com lesões mamárias submetidas à biópsia percutânea com agulha grossa guiada por ultrassonografia, com transdutor linear de alta frequência (7.5 MHz), utilizando pistola automática Bard-Magnum e agulha 14 gauge. Foram incluídos os casos com diagnóstico de tumor fibroepitelial na biópsia percutânea ou biópsia excisional. Biópsias com diagnóstico histopatológico de fibroesclerose também foram incluídas no estudo. A força da concordância entre o resultado da biópsia percutânea e da biópsia excisional foi medida pelo coeficiente de Kappa. RESULTADOS: a biópsia excisional revelou 40 casos de fibroadenoma (57,1 por cento), 19 de tumor filoide (27,2 por cento) e 11 de fibroesclerose (15,7 por cento). A taxa de concordância para o fibroadenoma foi substancial (k = 0,68; IC95 por cento = 0,45 - 0,91), quase perfeita para o tumor filoide (k = 0,81; IC95 por cento = 0,57 - 1,0) e moderada para a fibroesclerose (k = 0,58; IC95 por cento = 0,36 - 0,90). CONCLUSÕES: a biópsia percutânea com agulha grossa é propedêutica minimamente invasiva que tem taxas de concordância com a biópsia excisional, de "substancial" a "quase perfeita". A fibroesclerose deve ser considerada no diagnóstico diferencial dos tumores fibroepiteliais.


PURPOSE: to evaluate the concordance rate of ultrasound-guided core needle biopsy followed by excisional biopsy in palpable breast lumps, suggestive of fibroepithelial tumors. METHOD: a retrospective study included 70 biopsies with a histological diagnosis of fibroepithelial tumor in 67 out of 531 patients with breast lesions submitted to ultrasound-guided core needle biopsy with a high frequency (7.5 MHz) linear transducer, using an automatic Bard-Magnum gun and a 14-gauge needle. Cases with a diagnosis of fibroepithelial tumor by core needle biopsy or excisional biopsy and with a diagnosis of fibrosclerosis were included in the study. The agreement between the two biopsy methods was assessed using the Kappa coefficient. RESULTS: excisional biopsy revealed 40 cases of fibroadenoma (57.1 percent), 19 cases of phyllodes tumor (27.2 percent), and 11 cases of fibrosclerosis (15.7 percent). The concordance rate for fibroadenoma was substantial (k = 0.68, 95 percentCI = 0.45 - 0.91), almost perfect for the phyllodes tumor (k = 0.81, 95 percentCI = 0.57 - 1.0), and moderate for fibrosclerosis (k = 0.58, 95 percentCI = 0.36 - 0.90). CONCLUSIONS: the core needle biopsy is a minimally invasive method that has "substantial" to "almost perfect" concordance rate with excisional biopsy. Fibrosclerosis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of fibroepithelial tumors.
