Recomendações para o rastreamento do câncer de mama no Brasil do Colégio Brasileiro de Radiologia, da Sociedade Brasileira de Mastologia e da Federação Brasileira das Associações de Ginecologia e Obstetrícia / Recommendations for breast cancer screening in Brazil from the Brazilian College of Radiology, the Brazilian Society of Mastology and the Brazilian Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics Associations

Objetivo: Apresentar a atualização das recomendações do Colégio Brasileiro de Radiologia e Diagnóstico por Imagem, da Sociedade Brasileira de Mastologia e da Federação Brasileira das Associações de Ginecologia e Obstetrícia para o rastreamento do câncer de mama no Brasil. Materiais e Métodos: Foram feitas buscas das evidências científicas publicadas nas bases Medline, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, EBSCO, CINAHL e Lilacs, entre janeiro de 2012 e julho de 2022. As recomendações foram baseadas nessas evidências, mediante consenso da comissão de especialistas das três entidades. Recomendações: O rastreamento mamográfico anual é recomendado para as mulheres de risco habitual entre 40 e 74 anos. Acima de 75 anos, deve ser reservado para as que tenham expectativa de vida maior que sete anos. Mulheres com risco maior que o habitual, entre elas as com mamas densas, com história pessoal de hiperplasia lobular atípica, carcinoma lobular in situ clássico, hiperplasia ductal atípica, tratamento de câncer de mama ou de irradiação no tórax antes dos 30 anos ou, ainda, portadoras de mutação genética ou com forte história familiar, beneficiam-se do rastreamento complementar, sendo consideradas de forma individualizada. A tomossíntese é uma evolução da mamografia e deve ser considerada no rastreamento, sempre que acessível e disponível. (AU)

Objective: To present the update of the recommendations of the Brazilian College of Radiology, the Brazilian Society of Mastology and the Brazilian Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics Associations for breast cancer screening in Brazil. Materials and Methods: Scientific evidence published in Medline, Embase, Cochrane Library, Ebsco, Cinahl and Lilacs between January 2012 and July 2022 was searched. Recommendations were based on this evidence, by consensus of the expert committee of the three entities. Recommendations: Annual mammographic screening is recommended for women aged between 40 and 74 years old. Above 75 years should be reserved for those with a life expectancy greater than seven years. Women at higher than usual risk, including those with dense breasts, a personal history of atypical lobular hyperplasia, classic lobular carcinoma in situ, atypical ductal hyperplasia, treatment for breast câncer, chest irradiation before age 30, carriers of genetic mutation or with a strong family history, benefit from complementary screening, being considered individually. Tomosynthesis is an evolution of mammography and should be considered in screening, whenever accessible and available. (AU)

Design and implementation for portable ultrasound-aided breast cancer screening system / 生物医学工程学杂志

Early screening is an important means to reduce breast cancer mortality. In order to solve the problem of low breast cancer screening rates caused by limited medical resources in remote and impoverished areas, this paper designs a breast cancer screening system aided with portable ultrasound Clarius. The system automatically segments the tumor area of the B-ultrasound image on the mobile terminal and uses the ultrasound radio frequency data on the cloud server to automatically classify the benign and malignant tumors. Experimental results in this study show that the accuracy of breast tumor segmentation reaches 98%, and the accuracy of benign and malignant classification reaches 82%, and the system is accurate and reliable. The system is easy to set up and operate, which is convenient for patients in remote and poor areas to carry out early breast cancer screening. It is beneficial to objectively diagnose disease, and it is the first time for the domestic breast cancer auxiliary screening system on the mobile terminal.

Cáncer de mama ectópica axilar: caso clínico / Ectopic axillary breast cancer: case report

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.

Effect of testosterone on proliferation markers and apoptosis in breasts of ovariectomized rats / Efeito da testosterona em marcadores de proliferação e apoptose em mamas de ratas ovariectomizadas

Abstract Objective To investigate the action of testosterone (T), isolated or associated with estradiol benzoate (EB), on the proliferation markers and apoptosis of breasts of ovariectomized rats. Methods A total of 48 castrated female Wistar rats were divided into 6 groups, and each of them were submitted to one of the following treatments for 5 weeks: 1) control; 2) EB 50 mcg/day + T 50 mcg/day; 3) T 50mcg/day; 4) EB 50 mcg +T 300 mcg/day; 5) T 300 mcg/day; and 6) EB 50 mcg/day. After the treatment, the mammary tissue was submitted to a histological analysis and immunoexpression evaluation of proliferation markers (proliferating cell nuclear antigen, PCNA) and apoptosis (caspase-3). Results There was a statistically significant difference among the groups regarding microcalcifications and secretory activity, with higher prevalence in the groups treated with EB. There was no difference among the groups regarding atrophy, but a higher prevalence of atrophy was found in the groups that received T versus those that received EB +T. There was a difference among the groups regarding the PCNA (p = 0.028), with higher expression in the group submitted to EB +T 300 mcg/day. Regarding caspase-3, there was no difference among the groups; however, in the group submitted to EB +T 300 mcg/day, the expression was higher than in the isolated T group. Conclusion Isolated T did not have a proliferative effect on the mammary tissue, contrary to EB. Testosterone in combination with EB may or may not decrease the proliferation, depending on the dose of T.

Resumo Objetivo Investigar a ação da testosterona (T) isolada ou associada ao benzoato de estradiol (EB) na proliferação e apoptose de mamas de ratas ovariectomizadas. Métodos Um total de 48 ratas Wistar castradas foram divididas em 6 grupos, e cada um foi submetido a um dos seguintes tratamentos durante 5 semanas: 1) controle; 2) BE 50 mcg/dia + T 50mcg/dia; 3) T 50 mcg/dia; 4) BE 50 mcg + T 300mcg/dia; e) T 300 mcg/dia; e f) BE 50 mcg/dia. Após o tratamento, o tecido mamário foi submetido a análise histológica e avaliação de imunoexpressão de marcadores de proliferação (antígeno nuclear de células proliferantes, PCNA) e apoptose (caspase-3). Resultados Houve diferença estatisticamente significante entre os grupos com relação às microcalcificações e à atividade secretora, com maior prevalência nos grupos tratados com BE. Não houve diferença entre os grupos quanto à atrofia, mas houve maior prevalência de atrofia nos grupos que receberam T versus os que receberam BE+ T. Houve diferença entre os grupos quanto ao ANCP (p= 0,028), com maior expressão no grupo BE+ T 300 mcg/dia. Com relação à caspase-3, não houve diferença entre os grupos, mas, no grupo BE+ T 300 mcg/dia, a expressão foi maior do que no grupo de T isolada. Conclusão A T isolada não apresentou efeito proliferativo do tecido mamário, contrariamente ao EB. A T em associação ao EB pode diminuir ou não a proliferação, a depender da dose de T.

Sarcoma neurogénico de la mama masculina. Presentación de un caso / Male breast neurogenic sarcoma. A case

RESUMEN El cáncer de mama en el sexo masculino es una entidad clínica poco frecuente, tiene una presentación unimodal a los 71 años de edad, generalmente se presenta de manera similar a la forma en que se presenta en el sexo femenino. Su causa es poco conocida. Los sarcomas son tumores de componentes mesenquimatoso que constituyen del 0,2-1 % de todos los tumores de mama, y menos del 5 % del total. El sarcoma neurogénico, a su vez, es un tumor extremadamente raro. Representa del 1-2 % aproximadamente, de los tumores de los nervios periféricos con transformación maligna. Debido a la rareza geográfica e histopatológica de este tipo y mucho más en pacientes masculinos se presentó este caso. Paciente masculino de 57 años de edad, con el diagnóstico de un sarcoma de la mama derecha. Se le realizó una mastectomía radical más quimioterapia y radioterapia adyuvante. Los estudios de inmunohistoquímicos permitieron llegar al diagnóstico de sarcoma neurogénico.

ABSTRACT Breast cancer in men (BCM) is a rare clinical entity that has a unimodal presentation at the age of 71 years, and generally presents in a similar way it presents in the female sex. Its etiology remains almost unknown. Sarcomas are tumors of mesenchymal components representing from 0.2 to 1 % of all the breast tumors and less than 5 % of the total. The neurogenic sarcoma is also an extremely rare tumor. It represents around 1-2 % of the peripheral nerves tumors with malignant transformations. Due to location and histopathological rarity of this kind of tumors, much more in male patients, the authors presented the case of a male patient, aged 57 years, with the diagnosis of a left breast sarcoma. He undergone a radical mastectomy plus adjuvant chemotherapy and radiotherapy. The immunohystochemical studies allowed arriving to the diagnosis of neurogenic sarcoma.
