ABSTRACT

Introducción: El cáncer es la principal causa de muerte. Cada año se diagnostican millones de mujeres con cáncer de mama que necesitan tratamiento quirúrgico, para lo cual la anestesia total intravenosa parece ser una excelente opción. Objetivo: Describir los resultados de la aplicación de la anestesia total intravenosa en las pacientes a las que se les efectuó cirugía oncológica de mama. Métodos: Se realizó un estudio observacional, descriptivo, longitudinal, prospectivo, en el Servicio de Anestesiología del Hospital General Docente "Abel Santamaría Cuadrado" en el período comprendido entre enero de 2013 y enero de 2015. Se estudió una población accesible de 111 pacientes seleccionados mediante criterios de inclusión y exclusión. Para el análisis estadístico se utilizaron distribuciones de frecuencias, cálculo de medidas de tendencia central y de dispersión. Algunas de las variables fueron tensión arterial, frecuencia cardíaca, saturación de oxígeno, complicaciones, tiempo de recuperación, nivel de sedación, respuesta analgésica. Resultados: Se logró gran estabilidad hemodinámica en más del 95 por ciento de las pacientes. Se detectó superficialidad anestésica en 1,80 por ciento de los casos. El 92,80 por ciento de los casos se recuperaron entre 10 y 20 min. Se presentó sedación adecuada en 106 pacientes. Las principales complicaciones fueron las náuseas y los vómitos en 9,01 por ciento. Existió una adecuada respuesta analgésica en 93,69 por ciento de los casos. Conclusiones: La aplicación de la anestesia total intravenosa para cirugía oncológica de mama arrojó resultados muy satisfactorios como método anestésico(AU)


Introduction: Cancer is the leading cause of death worldwide. Every year millions of women are diagnosed with breast cancer and they need surgical treatment, for which total intravenous anesthesia seems to be an excellent option. Objective: Describe the results of the application of total intravenous anesthesia in patients undergoing oncological breast surgery. Methods: An observational, descriptive, longitudinal, prospective study was conducted in the Anesthesiology Service of "Abel Santamaría Cuadrado" Hospital in the period between January 2013 and January 2015. An accessible population of 111 patients selected using inclusion and exclusion criteria was studied. For the statistical analysis, frequency distributions, calculation of measures of central tendency and dispersion were used. Some of the variables were blood pressure, heart rate, oxygen saturation, complications, recovery time, level of sedation, analgesic response. Results: High hemodynamic stability was achieved in more than 95 percent of the patients. Anesthetic superficiality was detected in 1.80 percent of cases. 92.80 percent of the cases recovered after 10 to 20 minutes. Adequate sedation was present in 106 patients. The main complications were nausea and vomiting in 9.01 percent There was an adequate analgesic response in 93.69 percent of the cases. Conclusions: The application of total intravenous anesthesia for oncological breast surgery yielded very satisfactory results as an anesthetic method(AU)

ABSTRACT

Resumo Introdução Apesar das ações para prevenção, o câncer de mama (CAM) no Brasil apresenta elevada mortalidade, provavelmente devido à identificação do tumor em estádios avançados. Objetivo Analisar a mortalidade por CAM nas microrregiões de saúde de Minas Gerais (MG), de 2013 a 2017 e sua possível associação com a desigualdade social. Método Estudo ecológico, cuja unidade de análise foram as microrregiões de saúde de MG. Dados de mortalidade, sociodemográficos e de saúde foram extraídos do SIM, IBGE, PROADESS e DATASUS. Foram calculadas taxas de mortalidade específicas e padronizadas por idade, construídos mapas temáticos e realizadas análises estatísticas utilizando o Índice de Moran e a regressão simples e múltipla. Resultados De 2013 a 2017, ocorreram em MG 7.571 óbitos por CAM. As microrregiões com maior mortalidade estão localizadas no Centro e Leste e, com menor, no Norte e Nordeste. A maioria das variáveis apresentaram alto coeficiente de variação e foram significativas no modelo de regressão linear simples. Nos modelos múltiplos distal e proximais, somente o grau de urbanização foi significativa. Todas as variáveis apresentaram autocorrelação espacial significativa e dependência espacial. Conclusão Altas taxas de mortalidade nas microrregiões mais urbanizadas podem ser explicadas por fatores reprodutivos, comportamentais e distribuição dos recursos de saúde, presentes nos grandes centros urbanos.


Abstract Introduction Despite the preventive actions, breast cancer (BC) in Brazil has a high mortality, probably due to the identification of the tumor in advanced stages. Objective To analyze mortality from BC in the health micro-regions of Minas Gerais (MG), 2013-2017, and its possible association with social inequality. Method Ecological study, whose unit of analysis was the health micro-regions of MG. Mortality, sociodemographic and health data were extracted from SIM, IBGE, PROADESS, and DATASUS. Specific and age-standardized mortality rates were calculated, thematic maps were constructed, and statistical analyzes were performed using the Moran Index and multiple simple regression. Results From 2013-2017 there were 7,571 deaths from BC in MG. The deadliest microregions are in the Center and East; the smallest in the North and Northeast. Most variables had a high coefficient of variation and were significant in the simple linear regression model. In the multiple distal and proximal models, only the degree of urbanization was significant. All variables showed significant spatial autocorrelation and spatial dependence. Conclusion High mortality rates in the most urbanized micro-regions can be explained by reproductive, behavioral factors and the distribution of health resources, present in large urban centers.

ABSTRACT

SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: To assess the cosmetic satisfaction of patients diagnosed with breast cancer submitted to the hypofractionated radiotherapy with IMRT (hIMRT) technique and its correlation with dosimetric data of the radiotherapy planning. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The retrospective cohort study that assessed women with a diagnosis of malignant breast neoplasia submitted to the conservative treatment or radical mastectomy and treated with hIMRT. In the period between August 2007 to December 2014, in a philanthropic / private institution, 170 records were selected. The cosmetic assessment was carried out by means of the Harvard/RTOG/NSABP scale with one-year minimum range after treatment. The collected dosimetric data were: breast / chest wall volume, volume that received 95% (V95%) and 107% (V107%) of the prescribed dose. RESULTS: The volume of the treated breasts ranged from 169 to 2.103 ml (median = 702; IQR: 535 to 914 ml). Median V95% was 86.7% (54.6-96.6%; IQR: 80.0% to 90.6%); eight (5.7%) patients had V95% higher than 95%. Median V107% was 0% (0%-16.3%; IQR: 0.0% to 0.3% and 13); 9.3% patients had V107% higher than 2%. One hundred and thirty-three (78.2%) patients responded to the cosmetic assessment: 99 (74.4%) considered the cosmetic results excellent. Significant associations between cosmetic assessment and breast volume (p=0.875), V95% (p=0.294) e V107% (p=0.301) were not found. CONCLUSION: The cosmetic results showed favorable when using hIMRT, and the lack of correlation with usual the dosimetric data illustrates the capacity of hIMRT to minimize the heterogeneity of the dose in this endpoint, even in voluminous breasts.


RESUMO OBJETIVO: Avaliar a satisfação cosmética de pacientes diagnosticadas com câncer de mama submetidas à radioterapia hipofracionada com técnica IMRT (hIMRT) e sua correlação com dados dosimétricos do planejamento radioterápico. MATERIAIS E MÉTODOS: Estudo de coorte retrospectivo que avaliou mulheres com diagnóstico de neoplasia maligna de mama submetidas a tratamento conservador ou mastectomia radical e tratadas com hIMRT. No período de agosto de 2007 a dezembro de 2014, em uma instituição filantrópica/particular, foram selecionados 170 prontuários. A avaliação cosmética foi feita por meio da escala de Harvard/RTOG/NSABP com um intervalo mínimo de um ano após o tratamento. Dados dosimétricos coletados foram: volume da mama/plastrão, volume que recebeu 95% (V95%) e 107% (V107%) da dose prescrita. RESULTADOS: O volume das mamas tratadas variou de 169 a 2.103 ml (mediana = 702; IQR: 535 a 914 ml). O V95% mediano foi 86,7% (54,6-96,6%; IQR: 80,0% a 90,6%); oito (5,7%) pacientes tiveram o V95% superior a 95%. O V107% mediano foi 0% (0%-16,3%; IQR: 0,0% a 0,3% e 13); 9,3% pacientes tiveram o V107% superior a 2%. Cento e trinta e três (78,2%) pacientes responderam à avaliação cosmética: 99 (74,4%) consideraram o resultado cosmético excelente. Não foram encontradas associações significativas entre a avaliação cosmética e o volume da mama (p=0,875), V95% (p=0,294) e V107% (p=0,301). CONCLUSÕES: Os resultados cosméticos mostraram-se favoráveis com o uso de hIMRT, e a ausência de correlação com os dados dosimétricos usuais ilustra a capacidade do hIMRT em minimizar a heterogeneidade da dose neste desfecho, mesmo em mamas volumosas.

ABSTRACT

Fundamentado na psicanálise e no conceito de suporte social, este trabalho busca explorar as repercussões psíquicas do adoecimento de mulheres com câncer de mama e o potencial de reintegração do Grupo de Suporte. Os resultados apontam para o fortalecimento das defesas psicossomáticas, através dos vínculos estabelecidos no Grupo, considerado um espaço promotor de holding, por propiciar suporte social, compartilhamento de sentimentos e melhor integração entre psíquico e somático, possibilitando a reinserção social e o enfrentamento da doença.


Anchored on psychoanalysis and on the concept of social support, this paper aims to explore the psychic repercussions of the illness of women with breast cancer and the reintegration potential by the Support Group. The results point to the strengthening of the women's psychosomatic defenses, by means of the ties created in the Group, regarded as a space that promotes holding, by providing social support, sharing of feelings and better psychological and somatic integration, making social reintegration and the confrontation of the disease possible.


Sur la base de la psychanalyse et du concept de soutien social, ce travail vise à explorer les répercussions psychologiques de la maladie des femmes atteintes du cancer du sein et de la réinsertion potentielle du Groupe de Soutien. Les résultats indiquent un renforcement des défenses psychosomatiques à travers des liens établis au sein du groupe, considéré comme un espace promoteur de maintien, pour apporter un soutien social, partage de sentiments et une meilleure intégration entre le psychique et le somatique, rendant ainsi possible la réinsertion sociale et la lutte contre la maladie.


Basado en el psicoanálisis y en el concepto de apoyo social, este trabajo pretende explorar las repercusiones psíquicas, entre las mujeres, repercusiones provenientes del diagnóstico de cáncer de mama, y el potencial de reintegración del Grupo de Apoyo. Los resultados apuntan al fortalecimiento de las defensas psicosomáticas de las mujeres, a través de los vínculos establecidos dentro del Grupo, que es considerado un espacio que promueve el sostén (holding) al proporcionar apoyo social, permitir compartir sentimientos y promover una mejor integración entre lo psíquico y lo somático, haciendo posible la reintegración social y el manejo de la enfermedad.


Basierend auf die Psychoanalyse und auf das Konzept der sozialen Unterstützung, zielt diese Arbeit darauf ab, die psychischen Auswirkungen der Erkrankung bei Frauen mit Brustkrebs und das Wiedereingliederungspotential einer Unterstützungsgruppe zu erforschen. Die Ergebnisse deuten darauf hin, dass die psychosomatische Widerstandskraft der Frauen durch die in der Gruppe geknüpften Verhältnisse gestärkt wurde. Die Gruppe wird als Raum beschrieben, der das Holding fördert, da sie soziale Unterstützung leistet, es erlaubt Gefühle zu teilen, die Integration psychologischer und somatischer Aspekte fördert, die soziale Wiedereingliederung ermöglicht und den Patientinnen hilft, die Krankheit zu konfrontieren.

ABSTRACT

The objective of this study was to investigate the impairment of social and emotional functions, body image and future perspective in women with breast cancer undergoing chemotherapeutic treatment. This is a longitudinal research conducted from October 2012 to October 2013 at the chemotherapy unit of a private institution of Oncology located in Curitiba, PR, Brazil. Sociodemographic and clinical questionnaires were applied, Quality of Life Questionnaire Core 30 e Quality of Life Questionnaire ­ Breast Cancer Module, to 48 women subjected for the first time to chemotherapy, in three different stages of the treatment. Analysis with Friedman`s, Spearman and Kruskal -Wallis nonparametric tests was performed. Changes were observed in social function and body image, which compromised quality of life significantly. Results can subsidize the planning of and adjustments to the care provided to these women by considering the perception about the impact of therapy on QL and their perspectives.


O objetivo deste estudo foi investigar o comprometimento da função social, emocional, imagem corporal e perspectiva futura de mulheres com câncer de mama submetidas ao tratamento quimioterápico. Pesquisa longitudinal, realizada em Outubro de 2012 a Outubro de 2013, na unidade de quimioterapia de instituição privada de Oncologia situada em Curitiba-PR, Brasil. Aplicaram-se questionários sociodemográfico e clínico, Quality of Life Questionnaire Core 30 e Quality of Life Questionnaire ­ Breast Cancer Module a 48 mulheres submetidas pela primeira vez à quimioterapia em três etapas diferentes do tratamento. Realizou-se análise com testes não paramétricos de Friedman, Spearman e Kruskal-Wallis. Alterações foram percebidas na função social e imagem corporal que comprometeram significativamente a qualidade de vida. Os resultados podem subsidiar o planejamento e ajustes no cuidado a essas mulheres ao considerar a percepção do impacto da terapêutica na QV nas suas perspectivas.

ABSTRACT

Objective: To assess the resilience and staging degree relating to sociodemographic factors of breast cancer survivors followed up in an oncology service. Method: Quantitative study with 112 breast cancer survivors.The variables selected were: sociodemographic; clinical staging; survival time; and resilience scale. The analysis was performed using the Epi Info 6.04 software and Fisher’s exact test. The research was approved by the Ethics Committee of the Federal University of Pelotas School of Nursing under Opinion Nº 31/2009. Results: The average age was 46.2 years, there was 60.71% of stage IIcases, 81.25% were white, 40.18% had five-to eight-year schooling, 52.68% were married, 73.32% had lived in urban areas, 41.96% exhibited high resilience, and 48.21% were followed up from one to three years. Conclusion: Staging was not associated with the resilience degree, but rather with age and survival time, confirming the findings of other studies.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Objective: To determine the rates of diagnostic underestimation at stereotactic percutaneous core needle biopsies (CNB) and vacuum-assisted biopsies (VABB) of nonpalpable breast lesions, with histopathological results of atypical ductal hyperplasia (ADH) or ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) subsequently submitted to surgical excision. As a secondary objective, the frequency of ADH and DCIS was determined for the cases submitted to biopsy. Materials and Methods: Retrospective review of 40 cases with diagnosis of ADH or DCIS on the basis of biopsies performed between February 2011 and July 2013, subsequently submitted to surgery, whose histopathological reports were available in the internal information system. Biopsy results were compared with those observed at surgery and the underestimation rate was calculated by means of specific mathematical equations. Results: The underestimation rate at CNB was 50% for ADH and 28.57% for DCIS, and at VABB it was 25% for ADH and 14.28% for DCIS. ADH represented 10.25% of all cases undergoing biopsy, whereas DCIS accounted for 23.91%. Conclusion: The diagnostic underestimation rate at CNB is two times the rate at VABB. Certainty that the target has been achieved is not the sole determining factor for a reliable diagnosis. Removal of more than 50% of the target lesion should further reduce the risk of underestimation.


Resumo Objetivo: Determinar o grau de subestimação diagnóstica de biópsias mamárias percutâneas estereotáxicas por agulha grossa (core biopsy) e assistidas a vácuo (mamotomia) em lesões não palpáveis, com resultados histopatológico de hiperplasia ductal atípica (HDA) ou carcinoma ductal in situ (CDIS) e que foram submetidas a exérese cirúrgica posteriormente. Como objetivo secundário, atribuiu-se a frequência de HDA e CDIS nos casos biopsiados. Materiais e Métodos: Foram revisados, retrospectivamente, 40 casos biopsiados com diagnóstico de HDA ou CDIS, entre fevereiro de 2011 e julho de 2013, e que posteriormente foram submetidos a cirurgia, cujo laudo histopatológico estava registrado no sistema interno de informações. Os resultados das biópsias foram comparados aos da cirurgia e a taxa de subestimação foi calculada de acordo com equações matemáticas específicas. Resultados: A taxa de subestimação diagnóstica da core biopsy foi 50% para HDA e 28,57% para CDIS, e da mamotomia foi 25% para HDA e 14,28% para CDIS. As HDAs representaram 10,25% do total de casos biopsiados, enquanto 23,91% foram CDIS. Conclusão: A taxa de subestimação diagnóstica é cerca de duas vezes maior na core biopsy em relação à mamotomia. A certeza do alvo atingido não é o único determinante para um diagnóstico preciso. Remover mais que 50% da lesão alvo poderá diminuir o risco de subestimação diagnóstica.

ABSTRACT

El fibrohistiocitoma maligno de mama es una entidad muy poco frecuente que debuta como un nódulo mamario de reciente aparición y de crecimiento relativamente rápido. El diagnóstico debe establecerse mediante una muestra histológica, debido a que las pruebas de imagen suelen ser inespecíficas. El tratamiento habitual es la mastectomía con o sin vaciamiento axilar y la terapia adyuvante (quimioterapia y radioterapia) suele tener poca efectividad en esta patología.


Malignant fibrous histiocytoma of the breast is arare entity that debuts as a breast lump of recent onset and relatively fast growth. Diagnosis is by histology because imaging tests are often nonspecific. Usual treatment is mastectomywith orwithout axillary dissection; acjuvant therapy (chemotherapy and radiotherapy) often have limited effectiveness in this pathology.

ABSTRACT

Objetivou-se compreender, em mulheres com câncer de mama com altos índices de coping religioso/espiritual positivo, o lugar que a religiosidade/espiritualidade ocupa em suas vidas, as formas de coping utilizadas durante o diagnóstico e tratamento e as possíveis mudanças ocorridas durante a doença. Sete mulheres vinculadas a dois grupos de apoio participaram de dois grupos focais. A idade média foi de 51,5 anos (DP=7,2) e as pacientes haviam recebido o diagnóstico de câncer de mama, em média, há 43,4 meses (DP=14,6). Os resultados revelaram a presença de uma relação positiva com Deus, capaz de mobilizar força, esperança e conforto. Mudanças na personalidade das participantes foram mencionadas, decorrentes de um processo de reflexão quando do diagnóstico. Os resultados reafirmam a necessidade de uma abordagem na qual os profissionais da saúde contemplem as crenças religiosas/espirituais das pacientes, visando o estímulo das estratégias de coping positivas e a reavaliação daquelas negativas...


The aim in this research was to understand the place that religiousness/spirituality has in the lives of female breast cancer patients with high rates of positive religious/spiritual coping, the coping styles used during diagnosis and treatment, and possible changes occurred during the illness. Seven women linked to two support groups participated intwo focal groups. The average age was 51.5 years (SD=7.2) and the patients had received their breast cancer diagnosis, on average, 43.4 months earlier (SD=14.6). The results revealed a positive relationship with God, which was capable of fostering strength, hope and comfort. Personality changes in the participants were mentioned, which were a result of a reflection process at the time of the diagnosis. Results reaffirm the need for of an approach in which healthcare professionals embrace the religious/spiritual beliefs of the patients, aiming to encourage positive coping strategies and the reevaluation of the negative ones...

ABSTRACT

Objective Male breast cancer (MBC) is a rare disease,with clinical and prognostic features still controversial.The aim of this study was to discuss the clinical characteristics and prognosis of MBC.Methods Clinical data related to 71 MBC patients was reviewed.Results The radio of MBC to female breast cancer (FBC) was 42:10 000.Age related to the diagnosis of MBC ranged from 43 to 84 years with the median age as 62 years old,older than the FBC patients (t=6.355,P=0.000).The percentage of invasive ducal carcinoma in MBC patients was much higher than in FBC patients (x2=29.875,P=0.000).The positive rate of estrogen receptor (ER) was significantly higher than those in FBC patients and the positive rates of human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER-2) were less frequently (x2=3.741,P=0.048 and x2=12.845,P=0.002)seen.Data from the univariate and multivariate analysis showed that the 3-,5-and 10-year survivalrates of MBC were 82.6%,74.0% and 47.4% respectively,significantly higher than those in FBCpatients (P=0.004,P=0.046).Patients with positive HER-2 showed worse prognosis than HER-2 negative patients in MBC patients (x2=4.219,P=0.040).Conclusion There were significant clinic-pathologic and prognostic differences between FBC and MBC patients.The HER-2 positivity seemed to be an important factor for the prognosis and treatment of patients with MBC.
