ABSTRACT

Objective: To evaluate the rate of absence of axillary pathological involvement in patients with clinically negative axilla, submitted to axillary lymphadenectomy (AL). Method: Retrospective longitudinal study, which clinically evaluated patients without axillary metastasis (cN0), who underwent oncologic treatment from 1998 to 2001. Patients were selected at clinical stage I to III. The axillary pathological impairment ratio was correlated with tumor size and clinical stage T and TNM. We also evaluated the locoregional and axillary (local) recurrences. Results: 519 clinically cN0 patients were selected. All were submitted to AL, with a mean of 18 lymph nodes dissected and 3.2 compromised. The axillary metastatic rate was 47.2%. Tumor size and clinical stage were associated with the presence of axillary lymph node metastasis (p<0.001). The axillary involvement was of 78.6% for tumors between 6.1 to 8 cm, and of 100% for tumors larger than 8.1 cm. Forty patients were T4- TNM, where the impairment rate was 57.5%. The specific survival at 120 months was 71.1%, with locoregional recurrence rate of 6.9% (n=36) and local rate of 0.4% (n=2). Conclusion: In patients submitted to axillary lymphadenectomy, the axillary recurrence was extremely low. There are patients with tumors greater than 5 cm, smaller than 8 cm, and selected T4-TNM without metastasis in axilla. Further studies are necessary to evaluate sentinel lymph node dissection in this selected group, but it is unacceptable for tumors larger than 8.1 cm


Objetivo: Avaliar a taxa de ausência de comprometimento anatomopatológico axilar em pacientes com axila clinicamente negativa, submetidas à linfadenectomia axilar (LA). Método: Estudo retrospectivo longitudinal que avaliou pacientes clinicamente com ausência de metástase axilar (N0), submetidas a tratamento oncológico no período de 1998 a 2001. Selecionaram-se pacientes no estádio clínico de I a III. Avaliou-se a relação entre a taxa de comprometimento anatomopatológico axilar, o tamanho do tumor e o estádio clínico T e TNM. Avaliou-se também o risco de recidiva locorregional (RLR) e de recidiva local axilar (RLA). Resultados: 519 pacientes clinicamente N0 foram selecionadas. Todas foram submetidas à LA, com o número médio de 18 linfonodos dissecados e 3,2 comprometidos. A taxa de doença metastática axilar foi de 47,2%. O tamanho do tumor e o estádio clínico estiveram associados à presença de metástase linfonodal axilar (p<0.001). Tumores de 6,1 a 8 cm apresentaram 78,6% de comprometimento, e em tumores maiores que 8,1 cm essa taxa foi de 100%. Quarenta pacientes eram T4-TNM, nos quais a taxa de comprometimento foi de 57,5%. A sobrevida específica aos 120 meses foi de 71,1%, a taxa de RLR foi de 6,9% (n=36) e a RLA de 0,4% (n=2). Conclusão: Em pacientes submetidas à linfadenectomia axilar, a taxa de recorrência axilar foi extremamente baixa. Há pacientes com tumores maiores que 5 cm e menores que 8 cm, T4-TNM, em que a axila se mostrou sem doença metastática axilar. Fazem-se necessários mais estudos prospectivos para avaliar a dissecção do linfonodo sentinela em casos selecionados de tumores T3 e T4 clínico, sendo a dissecção inaceitável para tumores com tamanho superior a 8,1 cm.
