ABSTRACT

Although breast carcinoma is common, metastatic deposits to the breast from extramammary neoplasms are rare. Clinically and radiologically, metastatic neoplasms may mimic primary benign and malignant neoplasms of the breast. A correct diagnosis of metastasis to the breast is of considerable importance since the treatment of primary and secondary malignancies of the breast is different. We report 4 cases of extra mammary primary cancers metastasizing to the breast, diagnosed by biopsy, in a period of 5 years in our tertiary care centre. Each of the cases had different characteristics. A good knowledge of cytomorphology and histomorphology, together with clinical correlation and comparison with previous histopathological evidence, will prevent a misdiagnosis and aid in optimal management and therapy.

ABSTRACT

RESUMEN Introducción: el cáncer y las enfermedades cardiovasculares son dos entidades patológicas separadas. Sin embargo, poseen varias similitudes y posibles interacciones, que incluyen varios factores de riesgo similares. Objetivo: determinar y correlacionar los factores de riesgo cardiovascular en pacientes con cáncer de mama. Metodología: estudio longitudinal, prospectivo. Población: pacientes con diagnóstico de cáncer de mama que consultan en el Hospital Nacional de Itauguá y en el Instituto Nacional del Cáncer, Paraguay, entre marzo y agosto 2017. Se recogieron las variables relacionadas con las características basales de las pacientes y factores de riesgo cardiovascular. Resultados: se incluyeron 170 pacientes, con edad media 50±13 años. Los factores de riesgo cardiovascular detectados fueron diabetes mellitus 14,7%, hipertensión arterial 51,8%, tabaquismo 3,5%, sedentarismo 38,3%, sobrepeso/obesidad 70%. La mediana de colesterol LDL fue 131,5 mg/dL. El 26,5% tenían con score de Framingham con riesgo elevado y moderado. En la correlación por método de Spearman entre score de riesgo de Framingham y presión arterial diastólica se obtuvo significancia estadística tanto con la presión arterial en brazo (r 0,244, p 0,001) como en miembro inferior (r 0,27, p 0,0001). En la correlación entre IMC y presión arterial diastólica se obtuvo r 0,15 (p 0,03). Conclusión: se halló correlación estadística entre valores elevados de presión arterial diastólica con obesidad/sobrepeso, así como con riesgo cardiovascular moderado a alto. Se debe considerar la hipertensión arterial diastólica como factor de riesgo cardiovascular en pacientes con cáncer de mama.


ABSTRACT Introduction: Cancer and cardiovascular diseases are two separate pathological entities. However, they have several similarities and possible interactions, which include several similar risk factors. Objective: To determine and correlate cardiovascular risk factors in patients with breast cancer. Methodology: Longitudinal, prospective study. Population: patients diagnosed with breast cancer who consult at the Itauguá National Hospital and the National Cancer Institute, Paraguay, between March and August 2017. The variables related to the baseline characteristics of the patients and cardiovascular risk factors were collected. Results: One hundred and seventy patients were included, with a mean age of 50±13 years. The cardiovascular risk factors detected were diabetes mellitus 14.7%, arterial hypertension 51.8%, smoking 3.5%, sedentary lifestyle 38.3%, overweight / obesity 70%. The median LDL cholesterol was 131.5 mg / dL, 26.5% had a Framingham score with high and moderate risk. In the correlation by the Spearman method between Framingham risk score and diastolic blood pressure, statistical significance was obtained with both blood pressure in the arm (r 0.244, p 0.001) and lower limb (r 0.27, p 0.0001) . In the correlation between BMI and diastolic blood pressure, r 0.15 (p 0.03) was obtained. Conclusion: Statistical correlation was found between high values ​​of diastolic blood pressure with obesity/overweight, as well as moderate to high cardiovascular risk. Diastolic arterial hypertension should be considered as a cardiovascular risk factor in patients with breast cancer.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: el cáncer de mama en la mujer es una de las neoplasias más estudiadas. Sus factores de riesgo se encuentran bien identificados y es una de las patologías con más clasificaciones a lo largo de la historia de la Medicina. Objetivos: describir las características clínicas del cáncer de mama en el Hospital San Pablo (Asunción, Paraguay) en periodo 2016-2017. Metodología: diseño observacional descriptivo retrospectivo de revisión de expedientes médicos de pacientes con confirmación histológica de cáncer de mama del Hospital San Pablo (Asunción, Paraguay) en periodo 2016-2017. Resultados: se incluyeron 75 casos. La edad media fue 52±11 años. El tipo histológico más frecuente fue el ductal infiltrante con un grado moderado de diferenciación al momento del diagnóstico. El estadio clínico al momento del diagnóstico más frecuente fue el estadio II y el tipo biológico luminal A, resultó el más frecuente. El tratamiento instaurado en la mayoría de los casos fue la mastectomía radical modificada. Conclusiones: el cáncer de mama más frecuente fue el ductal infiltrante, estadio II. La mastectomía radical modificada fue el tratamiento más utilizado.


Introduction: breast cancer in women is one of the most studied malignancies. Its risk factors are well identified and it´s one of the pathologies with more classifications throughout the history of Medicine. Objectives: to describe the clinical characteristics of breast cancer in the San Pablo Hospital (Asunción, Paraguay) the period of 2016-2017. Methodology: retrospective descriptive observational design of medical records revision of patients with histological confirmation of breast cancer from San Pablo Hospital (Asunción, Paraguay) in the period of 2016-2017. Results: 75 cases were included. The mean age was 52 ± 11 years. The most frequent histological type was the infiltrating ductal with a moderate degree of differentiation at the time of diagnosis. The clinical stage at the time of the most frequent diagnosis was stage II and the luminal biological type A was the most frequent. The treatment established in most cases were modified radical mastectomy. Conclusions: the most frequent breast cancer was infiltrating ductal, stage II. Modified radical mastectomy was the most used treatment.

ABSTRACT

Breast carcinoma is the second major killer next to lung carcinoma in female population, and the incidence is on rise. The current study is undertaken to underscore the importance of a low-cost and easy technique like fine-needle aspiration to identify and to grade carcinoma cytologically using Robinson's grading system and Fisher's modification of Black's nuclear grading system and compare with standard Scarff-Bloom-Richardson (SBR) histologic grading system and hormonal receptor status, as these are an important prognostic factor determining the therapy and outcome. The study found that Robinson's cytological grading system is superior to Fischer's modification of Black's nuclear grading, and the former system lined in congruence with the SBR histologic grade of tumour.
