ABSTRACT

Objective: To investigate the oncologic and surgical safety of the fused fascia method for immediate breast reconstruction with implants. Methods: The clinical data of 343 patients with immediate breast reconstruction with implants in Tianjin Medical University Cancer Hospital from 2014-2017 were retrospectively analyzed to compare the 5-year local recurrence-free survival, 5-year disease-free survival and 5-year overall survival of patients with breast reconstruction by fusion fascia and other methods, and to analyze the complication incidences of implant removal between different implant groups. Results: Of the 343 patients with breast reconstruction, 95 were in the fused fascia group (fascia group) and 248 were in the non-fascia group (25 in the bovine pericardial patch group and 223 in the muscle flap group). At a median follow-up of 49 months, the differences in 5-year local recurrence-free survival (90.1% and 94.9%, respectively), 5-year disease-free survival (89.2% and 87.6%, respectively), and 5-year overall survival (95.2% and 95.1%, respectively) between patients in the fascial and non-fascial groups were not statistically significant (P>0.05). The complication incidence of implant removal was 24.0% (6/25) in the patch group and 2.1% (2/95) and 2.2% (5/223) in the fascia and muscle flap groups, respectively. Conclusion: Immediate breast reconstruction with fused fascial combined with implant is safe and feasible, less invasive than muscle flaps, more economical and with fewer complications than patches.

ABSTRACT

La osteonecrosis maxilar relacionada con medicamentos (ONMM) es una patología de características clínicas objetivas con signo-sintomatología patogno-mónica. El criterio clínico aceptado es la presencia de hueso necrótico expuesto y visible sobre el reborde óseo maxilar que no ha cicatrizado luego de 8 sema-nas, en pacientes con antecedentes de tratamiento antirresortivo. La denominación relacionada con medicamentos se utiliza por el creciente número de casos asociados con otros fármacos antirresortivos como denosumab y con terapias antiangiogénicas, más allá de la conocida relación con bifosfonatos. Si bien la incidencia de ONMM en pacientes tratados por osteopatías metabólicas es muy baja, la situa-ción se torna más compleja en pacientes oncológicos con altas dosis de antirresortivos para tratamiento de metástasis ósea. Varios informes de casos des-criben cuadros de ONMM en pacientes con cáncer que reciben terapias dirigidas, específicamente TKI (inhibidores de tirosina kinasa) y anticuerpos mo-noclonales-VEGF (anticuerpos dirigidos al factor de crecimiento del endotelio vascular). La ONMM afecta negativamente la calidad de vida del paciente onco-lógico y produce comorbilidad significativa. Resulta imperioso identificar los pacientes en riesgo y dise-ñar un protocolo de atención odontológica específico para estos casos. En este artículo, se presenta un caso de ONMM asociado con altas dosis de Deno-sumab y administración simultánea de anticuerpos monoclonales específicos. El caso sorprende por la magnitud de la necrosis y su cuadro insidioso. El pro-tocolo de tratamiento descripto permitió controlar el cuadro inicial, limitar el avance de la lesión, asegurar el control del dolor y la infección, y finalmente, la cu-ración total de la lesión (AU)


Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaws (MRONJ) is a pathology with objective clinical characteristics with pathognomonic signs and symp-toms. The accepted clinical criterion is the presence of exposed and visible necrotic bone on the maxillofacial region that has not healed after 8 weeks, in patients with history of antiresorptive treatment. The name medication-related is justified by the growing number of cases associated with other antiresorptive drugs such as denosumab and antiangiogenic therapies, beyond the known relationship with bisphosphonates. Although the incidence of MRONJ in patients treated for metabolic osteopathies is very low, the situation becomes more complex in cancer patients who re-ceive high doses of antiresorptives for the treatment of skeletal metastases. Several case reports describe the presence of MRONJ in cancer patients receiving targeted therapies, specifically TKI (tyrosine kinase inhibitors) and monoclonal antibodies-targeting VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor). MRONJ nega-tively affects the quality of life in cancer patients and produces significant comorbidity. It is imperative to identify patients at risk and design a specific den-tal care strategy for these cases. In this article, we present a case of MRONJ associated with high doses of Denosumab and simultaneous administration of specific monoclonal antibodies. The case is surpris-ing due to magnitude of the necrosis. The described treatment strategies made it possible to control the initial symptoms, limit the lesion progression, ensure pain and infection control, and finally, the total heal-ing of the lesion (AU)

ABSTRACT

Breast cancer treatment is associated with functional sequelae that limit patients in their daily activities or work, impacting their quality of life. This fact becomes more noticeable in the Public System, the tumors are more advanced, leading to more aggressive treatments. Women with low education generally perform menial activities, playing an important role in family income. After cancer treatment, many are unable to carry out their usual activities, having difficulties with their work activities, requiring rehabilitation. These dysfunctions make it difficult or unfeasible to return to work, limiting family income. Knowledge of the Laws, the main sequelae and evaluation methodologies facilitates a more accurate diagnosis of functional conditions, determining the need for rehabilitation. Social Security provides economic support, but to have access to the benefit, a good report is necessary. This, well directed, helps the social security expert and the patients, who are generally so fragile by the disease and the treatment. In this article we discuss the main functional sequelae, how to evaluate them, and how to make a good report to be sent to an expert (AU)

ABSTRACT

Este estudo teve como objetivo analisar o perfil dos casos de câncer de mama no estado do Acre no período de 2015 a 2019. Trata-se de um estudo quantitativo com delineamento transversal. A amostra foi constituída por todos os casos de câncer de mama registrados no Acre e inseridos no Departamento de Informática do Sistema Único de Saúde (DATASUS) no período de 2015 a 2019. Foram identificados no período 293 casos da doença, com maior número de casos registrados no ano de 2019 (25,0%), sendo a maioria do sexo feminino (98,0%), na faixa etária de 40 a 49 anos (29,0%). O tempo decorrido desde o diagnóstico até o início do tratamento foi de mais de 60 dias (51,0%). A modalidade terapêutica mais utilizada foi a quimioterapia (55,0%). O local da realização do tratamento ocorreu capital do estado Rio Branco (80,0%). A maior parte dos acometidos, ainda encontra-se em tratamento (56,0%), no entanto (44,0%) evoluiu para óbito. O aumento da doença com o passar dos anos é notável no Acre. É importante destacar que ações voltadas para a prevenção e controle do câncer de mama continuam sendo fundamentais para auxiliar na diminuição do número de casos, como o rastreamento e diagnóstico precoce.


This study aimed to analyze the profile of breast cancer cases in the state of Acre in the period from 2015 to 2019. This is a quantitative study with a cross-sectional design. The sample consisted of all breast cancer cases registered in Acre and inserted in the Informatics Department of the Unified Health System (DATASUS) in the period from 2015 to 2019. In the period 293 cases of the disease were identified, with a greater number of cases registered in 2019 (25.0%), with the majority being female (98.0%), aged 40 to 49 years (29.0%). The time elapsed from diagnosis to the start of treatment was more than 60 days (51.0%). The most used therapeutic modality was chemotherapy (55.0%). The place where the treatment was performed took place in the state of Rio Branco (80.0%). Most of the people affected are still under treatment (56.0%), however (44.0%) died. The increase in the disease over the years is notable in Acre. It is important to highlight that actions aimed at the prevention and control of breast cancer continue to be fundamental to assist in reducing the number of cases, such as screening and early diagnosis.

ABSTRACT

We aim to report a particular case of cutaneous telangiectasias on the arms after immunotherapy with trastuzumab plus paclitaxel to treat breast cancer. New oncology therapies reflect a major advance in cancer treatment. They greatly increase survival; however, they still cause certain adverse cutaneous events that should be taken into account for their proper management.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Background The implementation of intensive therapy protocols increases the probability of adverse events in patients with breast cancer (BC). Components of metabolic syndrome (MS) are among these events. Objective To verify the prevalence of MS and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk in female BC survivors. Materials and Methods This is a descriptive, observational, cross-sectional study. Our sample comprised 60 women without BC (G1) and 60 women who had survived BC (G2). We collected sociodemographic, anthropometric, tumor, and clinical data. After variable analysis, the participants received positive or negative MS diagnoses and a 10-year CVD risk stratification. The significance level adopted for the analyses was 5% ( p < 0.05) and the confidence interval (CI) was 95%. For comparing categorical data, we used the chi-squared, Fisher's exact, or G tests; for comparing continuous data, we used the parametric Student's t-test and the non-parametric Mann-Whitney test. Results Both groups presented overweight and an increased waist-to-hip ratio. Weight, body mass index, abdominal circumference, hip circumference, and low-density cholesterol were variables that presented statistically significant differences between groups. MS was diagnosed in 32% of women in G1 and 45% of those in G2. Regarding the 10-year risk for CVD, most women were in the low-risk stratum: the mean total risk of CVD occurrences was 7.48% in G1 and 7.70% in G2. Conclusion We observed a higher prevalence of MS among women who survived BC, possibly due to overweight, as well as a low 10-year risk for CVD after cancer treatment. Although we did not observe a statistically significant difference, we suggest the adoption of a healthy lifestyle and rigorous control of cardiometabolic risk factors.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: La dermatomiositis es una inflamación muscular autoinmune con presencia de rash, se manifiesta con debilidad muscular proximal, asociado a complicaciones cardiacas como miocarditis y/o trastornos de la conducción. En algunas ocasiones puede ser la única manifestación clínica de una neoplasia maligna oculta, por lo cual su detección temprana puede tener grandes repercusiones en el pronóstico del tumor oculto. Objetivo: Describir el caso de una paciente con un síndrome paraneoplásico dado por una dermatopolimiositis como presentación inusual de un cáncer de mama. Caso clínico: Se trata de una paciente en quinta década de la vida sin antecedentes personales de importancia, que debuta con una debilidad en miembros superiores de predominio proximal incapacitante, fiebre y elevación importante de la creatinquinasa (CPK), bajo un diagnóstico de una dermatopolimiositis como manifestación principal de un cáncer de mama infiltrante. Conclusiones: La dermatomiositis en mujeres de mediana edad debe hacer sospechar en una patología neoplásica oculta. Lo más importante es descastar el cáncer de mama(AU)


Introduction: Dermatomyositis is an autoimmune muscle inflammation exhibited rash, and proximal muscle weakness, associated with cardiac complications such as myocarditis and / or conduction disorders. In some cases, it can be the only clinical manifestation of hidden malignancy, so its early detection can have great repercussions on the prognosis of the hidden tumor. Objective: To describe the case of a patient with a paraneoplastic syndrome caused by dermatopolymyositis as an unusual presentation of breast cancer. Clinical case report: This is a patient in her fifties with no significant clinical personal history, who had disabling proximal weakness, predominantly in her upper limbs, fever and significant elevation of creatine kinase (CPK), under a diagnosis of dermatopolymyositis as the main manifestation of an infiltrating breast cancer. Conclusions: Dermatomyositis in middle-aged women should make us suspect an occult neoplastic pathology. The most important is to rule out breast cancer(AU)

ABSTRACT

La Asociación Americana de Cirugía Oral y Maxilofacial (American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons [AAOMS]): define el concepto de osteonecrosis maxilar asociada a drogas antirresortivas (MRONJ) como: «área ósea necrótica expuesta al medio bucal con más de ocho semanas de permanencia, en presencia de tratamiento crónico con bifosfonatos en ausencia de radioterapia en cabeza y cuello¼. El objetivo de este artículo es asociar la enfermedad oncológica en relación con las drogas antirresortivas consumidas por pacientes, la prescripción de dichas drogas y el depósito de ellas en el organismo. Al mismo tiempo, la interacción médico-odontológico debe implementarse en favor de la salud de nuestros pacientes (AU)


American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons AAOMS defined Medication Related of the Jaw (MRONJ) as «necrotic bone area exposed to the oral environment with more than eight weeks of permanence, in the presence of chronic treatment with BPs, in the absence of radiation therapy to the head and neck¼. The objective of this article is associate oncology antiresorptives treatments prescribed by physicians, their prescription and body accumulation in patients whose are treated with them. Interdisciplinary dental and physician clinical treatments must be implemented in patient favours (AU)

ABSTRACT

Introducción: La disfunción cardíaca emerge como una de las principales causas de morbilidad y mortalidad entre los sobrevivientes de cáncer. En la actualidad, el trastuzumab se considera parte de la terapia estándar para el cáncer de mama; sin embargo, se asocia a una variada incidencia de cardiotoxicidad. Caso clínico: Paciente femenina de 52 años que recibió neoadyuvancia con antraciclinas, y luego, taxanos combinados a trastuzumab. Se le realizó una cuadrantectomía de mama izquierda por un carcinoma ducto lobulillar infiltrante, etapa IIIa, con un fenotipo: luminal B- Her2 positivo. Desarrolló una insuficiencia cardiaca congestiva, luego de dos dosis de trastuzumab posoperatorio. La fracción de eyección ventricular izquierda descendió de 65 por ciento (previo al tratamiento con antraciclinas) a 44 por ciento. Recibió tratamiento con enalapril, carvedilol, y espironolactona. Se recuperó la fracción de eyección ventricular izquierda a 57 por ciento, por lo que se reintrodujo el trastuzumab y así completar las 18 dosis planificadas, luego de cuatro meses de suspensión. Actualmente, está libre de enfermedad, en tratamiento hormonal con letrozol y sin síntomas cardiovasculares. Conclusiones: La cardiotoxicidad por trastuzumab puede ser reversible, si se trata adecuada y oportunamente, en el marco de grupos multidisciplinarios y Unidades de Cardio-Oncología(AU)


Introduction: Cardiac dysfunction emerges as one of the main causes of morbidity and mortality among cancer survivors. Currently, trastuzumab is considered part of the standard therapy for breast cancer; however, it is associated with a varied incidence of cardiotoxicity. Clinical case report: A case of a 52-year-old female patient is reported here, because she received neoadjuvant therapy with anthracyclines and later, taxanes combined with trastuzumab. She underwent a quadrantectomy of her left breast for an infiltrating lobular duct carcinoma, stage IIIa, with a phenotype: luminal B-Her2 positive. She developed congestive heart failure after two doses of postoperative trastuzumab. The left ventricular ejection fraction decreased from 65 percent (prior to anthracycline treatment) to 44 percent. She was treated with enalapril, carvedilol, and spironolactone. The left ventricular ejection fraction was recovered to 57 percent, so trastuzumab was reintroduced and thus complete the 18 planned doses, after four months of suspension. Currently, she is disease-free, on hormonal treatment with letrozole, and without cardiovascular symptoms. Conclusions: Cardiotoxicity due to trastuzumab can be reversible, if it is appropriately and timely treated, within the framework of multidisciplinary groups and Cardio-Oncology Units(AU)

ABSTRACT

La displasia fibrosa (DF) es una enfermedad infrecuente del hueso, no hereditaria, producida por una mutación activadora del gen GNAS, responsable de codificar la unidad a-estimuladora de la proteína G (Gsa). La presentación clínica de la enfermedad es muy variada, pues adopta desde formas asintomáticas hasta otras marcadamente sintomáticas. En los últimos años, el análisis exhaustivo de bases de datos de pacientes con DF ha permitido conocer más sobre su historia natural. En este artículo se revisa la información actualmente disponible sobre algunos aspectos que ayudarán al mejor enfoque clínico del paciente, como son: la utilidad clínica de los marcadores óseos, los factores pronósticos para el desarrollo de fracturas, la DF como condición predisponente para el desarrollo de tumores específicos, nuevas perspectivas sobre la fisiopatología del dolor óseo y nuevas estrategias terapéuticas. Un mayor conocimiento sobre la historia natural de esta enfermedad finalmente redundará en la mejor calidad de vida de los pacientes con DF. (AU)


Fibrous dysplasia (FD) is an infrequent, non-hereditary bone disease caused by a somatic mutation of the GNAS gene, responsible for encoding the a-subunit of the G-protein (Gsa). The clinical presentation of the disease varies greatly, with some patients being asymptomatic and others markedly symptomatic. The exhaustive analysis of the database from patients with FD has allowed to learn more about the natural history of this disease. This article reviews the current information available on the clinical utility of bone markers, the prognostic factors for the occurrence of fractures, the evidence supporting as a predisposing condition for the development of specific tumors, new perspectives on the pathophysiology of bone pain, and emerging therapeutic strategies. A greater understanding of the natural history of this disease will allow to make better medical decisions, which will ultimately contribute to improve FD patients' quality of life. (AU)

ABSTRACT

Resumen Introducción El tejido mamario ectópico es consecuencia de la involución incompleta de la cresta mamaria. Su localización más frecuente es axilar siendo más común en el sexo femenino. Nuestro objetivo fue presentar el caso de una patología infrecuente en su localización. Materiales y Método Se presenta el caso de una paciente de 39 años, con diagnóstico de cáncer de mama ectópica en la región axilar izquierda. Resultados Presentamos el estudio y la resolución quirúrgica de una paciente con cáncer de mama ectópica. Discusión La presencia de tejido mamario ectópico ocurre en el 2%-6% de la población general. Este tejido sufre cambios fisiopatológicos similares a los de la mama normal, entre los cuales se encuentra la malignización. El carcinoma primario de este tejido es infrecuente y su manifestación más común es el tumor palpable. Conclusiones La incidencia de carcinoma en tejido ectópico es de 0,3% de todos los cánceres de mama. El tratamiento debe seguir las mismas recomendaciones que el cáncer de mama normotópico, con igual estadio TNM.


Introduction Ectopic mammary tissue is consecuence of the incomplete involution of the mammary crest. The most frequent location is the axillary region and more common in women. Our gol was present the case of an infrequent pathology in its location. Materials and Method A case of a 39-year-old patient with a diagnosis of ectopic breast cancer in the left axillary region. Results We present the study and surgical resolution of a patient with ectopic breast cancer. Discussion Ectopic breast tissue occurs in 2-6% of the general population. This tissue undergoes pathophysiological changes similar to those of the normal breast, among which malignancy is found. The primary carcinoma of this tissue is infrequent and its most common manifestation is the palpable tumor. Conclussion The incidence of carcinoma in ectopic tissue is approximately 0.3% of all breast cancers. Treatment should follow the same recommendations as those for breast tumors with the same TNM stage.

ABSTRACT

Presentamos el caso de una paciente septuagenaria, con vómitos, neumonía por broncoaspiración y síndrome de impregnación neoplásica. Los estudios por imágenes muestran la totalidad del estómago herniado en el pericardio a través de una ventana pericardio-peritoneal realizada previamente. Se realizó la resolución quirúrgica del caso. Se hacen consideraciones sobre las opciones para el tratamiento del derrame pericárdico persistente, la hernia gástrica intrapericárdica como complicación, su presentación clínica, hallazgos intraoperatorios, forma de estudio y tratamiento.


We report the case of a 73-year- old female patient with vomiting, aspiration pneumonia and constitutional symptoms. The imaging tests showed total gastric herniation in the pericardial sac through a pericardio-peritoneal window previously created. The case was solved with surgery. The therapeutic options for persistent pericardial effusion are considered. Intrapericardial gastric hernia as a complication, its clinical presentation, intraoperative findings, complementary tests and treatment are discussed.

ABSTRACT

Uno de los efectos adversos que generan mayor impacto psicosocial en los pacientes que se someten a quimioterapia es la pérdida de cabello. El uso de los cascos fríos podría representar una alternativa para prevenir la alopecia. Estos dispositivos producen vasoconstricción en los vasos sanguíneos del cuero cabelludo provocando que los quimioterápicos lleguen en menores concentraciones a los folículos pilosos, y por consiguiente, evitando que los citotóxicos alcancen el metabolismo de las células foliculares. Se propone que este proceso permita prevenir la alopecia, aunque existe una preocupación que es la posibilidad de metástasis en cuero cabelludo si la quimioterapia no llega a este tejido. Partiendo de la consulta de una paciente con diagnóstico reciente de cáncer de mama, surge el interrogante si en pacientes en tratamiento con quimioterapia el uso de cascos fríos en comparación con su no utilización, disminuye la caída del cabello y si aumenta el riesgo de metástasis en cuero cabelludo. Luego de realizar una búsqueda, se analizaron los resultados de tres artículos pertinentes. Se concluye que el uso de cascos fríos en pacientes que reciben quimioterapia representaría una opción válida para prevenir la alopecia sin indicios de problemas de seguridad y se realiza una reseña acerca de la disponibilidad de los cascos fríos en Argentina.

One of the adverse effects that generate greater psychosocial impact in patients undergoing chemotherapy is hair loss. The use of cold caps could represent an alternative to prevent alopecia. These devices produce vasoconstriction in the blood vessels of the scalp, causing chemotherapeutic agents to reach the hair follicles in lower concentrations, and there forepreventing toxins from being metabolized by the follicular cells. Thus, alopecia could be prevented but, there is a concern that is the possibility of metastasis to the scalp if the therapy does not reach this tissue. Based on a consultation of a patient recently diagnosed with breast cancer, the question arises whether in patients undergoing chemotherapy the useof cold caps compared to their non-use reduces hair loss and whether it in creases the risk of metastasis to the scalp. After performing a search, the results of three relevant articles were analyzed. It is concluded that the use of cold helmets in patients receiving chemotherapy would represent a valid option to prevent alopecia without indications of safety problems. Finally, a review is made about the availability of scalp-cooling devices in Argentina.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: Las disfunciones sexuales producidas por el cáncer de mama y sus diversas formas de tratamiento se encuentran presentes hasta en el 60 % de las pacientes. En la actualidad la sexualidad sigue siendo un tema eludido, a menudo los médicos omiten tratarlo aduciendo falta de tiempo, conocimiento y experiencia para abordarlo. Objetivos: Evaluar la sexualidad de las pacientes sobrevivientes de cáncer de mama, indagar sobre el grado de interés en recibir ayuda para resolver las disfunciones sexuales vinculas al diagnóstico y al tratamiento de la enfermedad y el nivel de satisfacción con la atención recibida. Materiales y métodos: Se incluyeron pacientes diagnosticadas de cáncer de mama precoz asistidas en la Unidad de Mastología del Servicio de Oncología del Hospital de Clínicas. Se contó con la aprobación del Comité de Ética del Hospital de Clínicas. El cuestionario seleccionado es el utilizado en la Clínica de Oncología Médica de la Universidad de Chicago. Se incluyeron 128 pacientes, la mayoría eran mayores de 50 años y tenían pareja, 98 pacientes (76,5 %) estuvieron sexualmente activas en los últimos 12 meses y 85 (86,7 %) tuvieron problemas sexuales. Resultados: La mayoría (67 pacientes, 68,3 %) respondió que la sexualidad era importante en su vida, 85 (86,6 %) se mostró interesada en recibir atención para tratar sus problemas sexuales y 72 (73,4 %) considera probable abordar los mismas con un médico. Sin embargo, tan sólo 29 (29,6 %) había solicitado ayuda médica para tratarlos, y la mayoría quedó insatisfecha con la atención recibida. El 80,6 % (79) estaría dispuesta a participar de un programa dirigido a confrontar los problemas sexuales. Conclusiones: Nuestros resultados revelan la necesidad de atención de los problemas sexuales de las pacientes diagnosticadas y tratadas por cáncer de mama. Los futuros estudios deberán enfocarse en desarrollar y evaluar el éxito de las intervenciones específicas en el tratamiento de la disfunción sexual en estas pacientes y, lo que es más importante aún, diseñar estrategias para su prevención.


Introduction: Sexual dysfunction from breast cancer and its various therapies is present in up to 60 % of the breast cancer patients. Sexuality remains a neglected issue; doctors often ignore it, claiming they lack the time, knowledge or expertise required to address it. Objectives: To evaluate the sexuality of breast cancer survivors', inquire about the degree of interest in receiving help to resolve sexual dysfunctions related to the diagnosis and treatment of the disease and the level of satisfaction with the care received. Materials and methods: The subjects enrolled had an early breast cancer and were treated at the Mastology Unit of the Cancer Department of the Hospital de Clínicas. The study was approved by the hospital's Ethics Committee. The selected questionnaire is the one used at the University of Chicago Medical Oncology Clinic. Most of the 128 patients included were over 50 years old and had a sexual partner, 98 patients (76.5 %) had been sexually active within the last 12 months and 85 (86.7 %) reported having sexual problems. Results: Most patients (67/128, 68.3 %) responded that sexuality was important in their lives; 85 (86.6 %) were interested in receiving support to treat their sexual difficulties, and 72 (73.4 %) saw the feasibility of addressing them with a doctor. However, only 29 (29.6%) had sought medical help for that purpose, and most were unhappy with the care received. Seventy-nine patients (80.6 %) would be willing to participate in a program aimed at confronting their sexual problems. Conclusions: Our results reveal the need to address the sexual problems of patients diagnosed with and treated for breast cancer as part of their medical care. Future studies should focus on developing and evaluating the success of specific interventions in the management of these patients' sexual dysfunction and ―even more importantly― designing strategies for its prevention.


Introdução: A disfunção sexual produzida pelo CM e suas diversas formas de tratamento está presente em até 60 % das pacientes. Atualmente, a sexualidade continua sendo uma questão evitada, e muitas vezes os médicos não abordam o assunto alegando falta de tempo, conhecimento e experiência para tratá-lo. Objetivos: Avaliar a saúde sexual das pacientes sobreviventes ao CM e o grau de interesse em receber ajuda médica para abordar e tratar seus problemas sexuais. Material e métodos: Foram incluídas pacientes diagnosticadas com CM precoce, atendidas na Unidade de Mastologia do Serviço de Oncologia do Hospital de Clínicas, com a aprovação do Comitê de Ética do Hospital de Clínicas. O questionário selecionado é o utilizado na Clínica de Oncologia Médica da Universidade de Chicago. Resultados: Foram incluídas 128 pacientes, a maioria tinha parceiro e idade acima de 50 anos, 98 pacientes (76,5 %) se mantiveram sexualmente ativas nos últimos 12 meses e 85 (86,7 %) tiveram problemas sexuais. A maioria (67 pacientes; 68,3 %) respondeu que a sexualidade era importante na sua vida, 85 (86,6 %) mostraram interesse em receber atendimento para tratar suas dificuldades sexuais, e 72 (73,4 %) consideraram provável falar sobre essas dificuldades com um médico. No entanto, apenas 29 (29,6 %) tinham procurado ajuda médica para tratá-las, e a maioria delas ficaram insatisfeitas com o atendimento recebido. 80,6 % (79) estariam dispostas a participar de um programa voltado a confrontar os problemas sexuais. Conclusões: Nossos resultados revelam a necessidade de atendimento médico na saúde sexual das pacientes diagnosticadas e tratadas por CM. Os futuros estudos deverão estar focados em desenvolver e avaliar o sucesso das intervenções específicas no tratamento da disfunção sexual nessas pacientes e, o que é ainda mais importante, em desenhar estratégias para sua prevenção.

ABSTRACT

Objectif : Déterminer la fréquence, le pronostic et la morbidité des patientes opérées pour cancer du sein.Matériel et Méthodes : Il s'agit d'une étude rétrospective, descriptive et analytique, sur une période de trois ans, allant de janvier 2013 à janvier 2017. Elle a porté sur les patientes opérées pour cancer du sein dans le service de gynécologie obstétrique et à l'Institut de Cancérologie du Centre Hospitalier Universitaire d'Angondjé (CHUA) de Libreville. Les informations recueillies ont été analysées à l'aide du logiciel R. Résultats : Un total de 51 patientes a été colligé. La moyenne d'âge des patientes était de 50 ans avec des extrêmes de 27 et 88 ans. Le délai moyen de consultation était de 56 semaines avec des extrêmes de 3 et 288 semaines. Le délai moyen entre la consultation et la preuve histologique était de 60 semaines avec des extrêmes de 2 et 288 semaines. Au moment du diagnostic, 65,2 % des patientes étaient au stade III de la classification de l'Union Internationale Contre le Cancer et 66% avaient un carcinome canalaire infiltrant. La mastectomie totale selon Madden et le curage ganglionnaire ont été réalisés respectivement dans 78,4% et 86,3 des cas. L'envahissement ganglionnaire a été constaté dans 60% des femmes. En tout, 33,3% des patientes ont présenté des complications post-opératoires, dont 13,7% de lymphocèle.Conclusion : la prise en charge chirurgicale des cancers du sein est dominée par la mastectomie modifiée type Madden, avec une faible morbidité post opératoire

ABSTRACT

Resumen Introducción: El tumor Phyllodes mamario es una entidad muy poco frecuente, con tendencia a la recidiva local y una tasa de malignización de 5-10%. La base de su tratamiento es la resección quirúrgica. Material y Métodos: Mujer de 32 años diagnosticada de un tumor Phyllodes maligno en mama derecha sometida en otro centro a cirugía conservadora con colocación de expansor y a dos tumorectomías posteriores por recidiva local. Fue referida a nuestro Hospital al presentar una nueva recidiva de gran tamaño (9,2 cm) para valoración de intervención quirúrgica. Resultados: Se realizó exéresis del tumor (remanente de tejido mamario y músculo pectoral mayor) y retirada del expansor con reconstrucción mamaria con colgajo de dorsal ancho en el mismo tiempo quirúrgico. En el momento actual la paciente se encuentra pendiente de iniciar tratamiento radioterápico. Conclusiones: El tumor Phyllodes maligno es una entidad poco frecuente y cuyo manejo terapéutico se basa en la resección quirúrgica con márgenes. De forma adyuvante se puede administrar quimiorradioterapia. Es de gran importancia realizar un manejo multidisciplinar e individualizado de cada caso para ofrecer el mejor pronóstico.


Introduction: Phyllodes tumor is a rare entity, with a high tendency to local recurrence and a malignancy rate of 5-10%. The basis of its treatment is the surgical resection. Materials and Method: We report a 32-year-old woman who was diagnosed of a malignant Phyllodes tumor who had previously underwent conservative breast surgery and expander placement in another center. Two subsequent lumpectomies due to local recurrences were necessary. She was referred to our Hospital for she presented a new large-sized recurrence (9.2 cm) at the retroarelor area for assessment of new surgical treatment. Results: Surgical resection of the tumor (remnant of mammary tissue and pectoralis major muscle) and removal of the expander with immediate breast reconstruction with latissimus dorsi flap was performed. At the present time, the patient is pending radiotherapeutic treatment. Conclusions: Malignant Phyllodes tumor is a rare entity whose therapeutic management is based on margin-free surgical excision. Adjuvant chemoradiotherapy might be administered. It is very important to carry out a multidisciplinary and individualized management of each case to offer the best possible forecast.
