ABSTRACT

Objetivo: avaliar os aspectos epidemiológicos, clínicos e terapêuticos do câncer de mama em homens. Foi realizado um estudo descritivo, retrospectivo, de 25 casos de neoplasia de mama masculina no município de Campinas, diagnosticados no Hospital e Maternidade Celso Pierro, no Centro de Atenção Integral à Saúde da Mulher e no Laboratório de Anatomia Patológica da Maternidade de Campinas, no período de 1992 a 2005. Foram avaliados os antecedentes pessoais e familiares, a história clínica, o diagnóstico anatomopatológico, os tratamentos realizados e a evolução de cada caso. Neste estudo, por tratar-se de doença rara, com pequena casuística, não se realizou análise estatística dos dados obtidos, sendo estes, entretanto, apresentados através de frequências e médias das variáveis estudadas. Foram identificados três casos em pacientes com idade até 40 anos, sete casos, em pacientes entre 41 a 60 anos e 15 casos, em pacientes acima dos 60 anos. Vinte e dois pacientes eram de cor branca, um de cor negra e dois de cor parda. Quanto ao tempo decorrido, desde os sintomas iniciais até o momento do diagnóstico, sete pacientes tiveram diagnóstico até o sexto mês, seis pacientes foram diagnosticados no período de sete a 12 meses, cinco pacientes, durante o segundo ano de sintomas, e sete pacientes tiveram diagnóstico em período superior a dois anos após os sintomas iniciais. O principal sintoma foi a presença de nódulo, cuja histologia revelou carcinoma ductal invasivo em 23 casos. A mastectomia foi realizada em 24 casos. Neste estudo, verificou-se que as ocorrências do câncer de mama nos homens foram diagnosticadas mais tardiamente, do que as relatadas na literatura para o sexo feminino. Nos casos aqui estudados, houve retardo no tempo decorrido desde as queixas iniciais até o diagnóstico e, consequentemente, ao receberem diagnóstico, mais da metade dos pacientes estudados encontravam-se em estádios avançados da doença.


Objective: To assess the epidemiologic, clinical and therapeutic aspects of breast cancer inmen. Methods: In the municipality of Campinas, São Paulo, Brazil, a descriptive, retrospective study was conducted to review 25 cases of male breast cancer, diagnosed, from 1992 to 2005, at the following institutions: General Hospital and Maternity Celso Pierro of the Pontifical Catholic University of Campinas, the Women’s Integral Healthcare Center of the State University of São Paulo and the Laboratory of Anatomic Pathology at the Campinas Maternity Hospital. The study evaluated the patients’ clinical, personal and family histories, as well as the anatomo-pathologic diagnosis, the, treatment performed and the clinical course of each case. Because it regards a rare disease, with a small number of cases, the data of this study was not submitted to statistical analysis; instead, all data was presented through frequencies and means of all the variables studied. Results Three cases of patients under 40 years of age; seven cases, aged between 41 and 60 years; and 15 cases of patients over 60 years were evaluated. Twenty-two patients were white, one was black and two were mulatto. Regarding the time since the first symptoms appeared, until the time of diagnosis, seven patients were diagnosed within six months, six patients were diagnosed from seven to 12 months later, five patients were diagnosed during the second year of symptoms; and seven patients were diagnosed more than two years after the first symptoms. The most common symptom was a breast lump, histologically confirmed as invasive ductal carcinoma in 23 cases. Mastectomy was performed in 24 cases. Conclusion Regarding these cases of breast cancer in men, the study found that the diagnosis took a longer time to be made, than the time taken to diagnose breast cancer in women, according to what is mentioned in the related literature. Thus, due to the delay in diagnosis after the first complaints, more than half of the patients evaluated in this study were diagnosed at an advanced stage of the disease.
