RESUMO

Introdução:

O câncer de mama é a segunda neoplasia mais frequente no mundo e é a principal causa de óbito entre as mulheres. Com o aumento do diagnóstico precoce, espera-se que outras causas, que não a neoplasia mamária, sejam determinantes à morte do paciente. O estudo objetivou verificar as causas de óbito das pacientes com câncer de mama tratadas no Hospital Erasta Gaertner, correlacionando os fatores de risco - estadiamento, idade, hipertensão arterial sistêmica e diabetes mellitus - com as principais causas.

Metodologia:

Foi realizado estudo retrospectivo através da revisão de prontuários das pacientes diagnosticadas entre 1995 e 1999; tratadas na instituição e que foram a óbito até setembro de 2008. Foram coletados dados referentes à idade da paciente no momento do diagnóstico, estadiamento, presença de comorbidades e causa da morte.

Resultados:

Faleceram 393 pacientes, com idade média ao diagnóstico de 53,8 anos. Em 30% dos casos, a causa de óbito não foi definida. Entre as causas de óbito conhecidas, progressão da doença à distância foi responsável por 87% dos óbitos, seguida de doenças do aparelho circulatório (6%) e outras neoplasias (2,5%).

Conclusão:

A principal causa de mortalidade averiguada foi progressão da doença à distância, principalmente nas pacientes com estádios avançados. Nas pacientes diagnosticadas precocemente, foi significativa a ocorrência de óbito por doenças do aparelho circulatório. A presença de HAS, DM e idade superior a 60 anos, mostraram-se como fatores de risco para óbito por outras causas, que não a neoplasia da mama.
ABSTRACT

Introduction:

Breast cancer is the second most frequent neoplasm and the main cause of women's death. It is expected that with the increase in early diagnosis other reasons than breast cancer will determine the patient's death. The objective of this study was to verify the causes of death of patients treated for breast cancer at Erasto Gaertner Hospital, and related the risk factors such as; staging, age, Diabetes Mellitus (DM), and Arterial Hypertension to the main causes of the deaths found.

Methods:

A retrospective study was conducted through the review of medical records of patients diagnosed between 1995 and 1999, who received treatment at our Institution and died before September 2008. Data related to the patient was collected- patient's age at diagnosis, staging, the existence of comorbidities and cause of death.

Results:

393 patients died, the mean age at diagnosis was 53.8 years. In 30% of the cases the cause of death was not defined. Among the causes of death, disease progression at distant sites was responsible for 87% of deaths, followed by cardiovascular diseases (6%) and by other kinds of neoplasm (2.5%).

Conclusion:

The main cause of mortality observed was the progression of the disease at distance, especially in patients in advanced stages. It was observed on patients who were early diagnosed a significant number of deaths from cardiovascular diseases. The presence of hypertension, DM and age higher than 60 years were considered risk factors for other causes of death apart from breast cancer.
