ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: We aim to evaluate the indication and use of genomic signatures in breast cancer patients and outcomes who in patients undergoing adjuvant chemotherapy or not. METHODS: This is a retrospective study of breast cancer patients managed in a private oncology clinic in Teresina, from November 2014 to February 2021. All patients with an indication of genomic signature were included. Clinical and pathological variables, use of genomic signatures, treatment and follow-up were obtained. The nomogram to predict Oncotype DX results (University of Tennessee Medical Center) was also calculated. Clinical risk calculation was based on MINDACT, using the modified version of Adjuvant Online. The genetic signatures performed were: the Oncotype, MammaPrint and EndoPredict. RESULTS: Fifty (50) female patients were included in the study. The mean age of the participants was 57.1 years. Among the patients receiving a genomic signature (26-52.0%), there was a change in treatment in 8 (30.7%) cases. Chemotherapy was indicated in four patients, It was contraindicated in another four patients. Treatment changed in 30.7% of the tested patients. Chemotherapy was indicated for those who would not receive it before. It was contraindicated in patients who would previously undergo chemotherapy.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Avaliar o aspecto clinicoepidemiológico de casos de malária no Distrito Federal (DF), transmitidos por imigrantes infectados. Material e Métodos: Em estudo retrospectivo, foram estudados prontuários de 31 pacientes do Hospital Universitário de Brasília (HUB) cujos dados clínico-epidemiológicos foram registrados, em fichas padronizadas, no período de 1985 a 2000. Resultados: A infecção pelo Plasmodium falciparum foi a mais freqüente (61,3 por cento). Cerca de 41,9 por cento dos pacientes foram multiinfectados. A doença ocorreu, sobretudo, em adultos de 30 a 49 anos (51,6 por cento). O tempo de confirmação foi 4,3 dias em médica. Não houve óbito, nem registro de caso autóctone do Distrito Federal no período do estudo. Conclusão: A maioria dos pacientes com malária tinha P. falciparum. Na área extra-amazônica, algumas vezes o tratamento é retardado por dificuldade para estabelecer o diagnóstico. Estudos clinicoepidemiológicos, em áreas não-endêmicas, indicam necessidade de preparar recursos para executarem rápida confirmção e pronta intervenção terapêutica. A contínua migração de pacientes da Amazônia, infectados pelo Plasmodium e a possibilidade de tais pacientes concorrerem para a introdução da malária em áreas receptivas justificam a necessidade de centros de referência e de padronização de condutas para benefício de programas de assistência.
