Epidemiological Profile

Introduction: In Brazil, for the 2020–2022 triennium, the estimated incidence of breast cancer in women was 66,280/year. It is the most incident type of cancer in all Brazilian regions. Several risk factors are associated with the probable etiology of breast cancer, though the complexity of the disease makes it difficult to define its main cause. Objective: To investigate the prevalence of factors associated with breast cancer in an outpatient population at a public hospital in the Federal District, and to verify the epidemiological profile of this population to compare the data obtained with data published in the literature. Method: This is a descriptive cross-sectional study, with 115 participants diagnosed with breast cancer undergoing treatment in a highly complex unit of oncology care in the Federal District between July and October 2020. Data collection was done through a questionnaire. The electronic medical record was consulted to complement the data. Results: The majority of women were brown, married, with an average age of 52. Hormone therapy was reported by 73.9%, early menarche by only 33.9% and late menopause by 25.2%. Most had children before the age of 30 and more than 80% breastfed. A family history of breast cancer was present in 30.4% of the sample. The consumption of alcoholic beverages was reported by more than half of the women, but the use of cigarettes was denied by the majority. The practice of some physical activity before the diagnosis of cancer was reported by 69.6%. Most were overweight or had some degree of obesity. Non-special invasive carcinoma was the most common type. Conclusions: This study showed that the main factors present in the sample were: advanced age, alcohol consumption, use of hormone therapy and overweight.

Epidemiological Profile

Background: Inner lining of lobules or ducts of milk of breast tissue is the origin of the breast cancer. Among females, it constitutes 10.4% of cancer cases incidence all over the world. It thus is the fifth leading cause of mortality all over the world. As known, it is more common in females than males. The objective of this study was to study the clinical and epidemiological profile of breast cancer patients.Methods: A hospital based cross sectional study was carried out for a period of two and half years at M. G. M. Hospital, Warangal. Both males and females of 30 years and above were included in the study. Total number of carcinoma cases admitted during 2005 to 2007 for a period of two and half years were 1,428. Total number of carcinoma breast cases admitted during 2005 to 2007 for a period of two and half years were 242.Results: Maximum cases i.e. 44.6% belonged to stage III of breast cancer. Maximum cases were seen among Hindus i.e. 76.4%. As expected, only one case was reported by males which constituted only 0.42%. Highest number of cases i.e. 99 (40.9%) were reported during the age group of 40-50 years. Multi para women constituted more number of cases in 78.8%. Maximum number of cases of breast cancer i.e. 41.6% occurred among menstruating women. Most commonly affected quadrant was upper outer in 55.1% of cases. The most common type was Schirrous carcinoma in 39.6% of cases.Conclusions: Upper outer quadrant was most commonly affected. This indicates that the women in the reproductive age group should be directed to examine their breast daily with specific attention to upper outer quadrant.

ABSTRACT   Breast cancer examination delays is a condition where breast cancer patients come to know their condition exceeds the specified time (cancer stage III)  when cancer can not differentiate well to get treatment. In Indonesia, almost 70% of breast cancer patients are too late to do examination. Data at Arifin Achmad Regional Public Hospital show increasing number of breast cancer cases, where in 2012 there were 145 cases, in 2013 there were 262 cases and in 2014 there were 584 cases. This research aims to know the factors that related to breast cancer examination delays such as knowledge, education, income, pain, fear, family support, BSE (breast elf examination), distance to health service, resources and family history of breast cancer. The research type is quantitative analytic observational. The research design is analytic cross sectional study. The populations are outpatients women with breast cancer who came to Arifin Achmad regional public hospital Riau Province and total sampel are 203 women. The data were analyzes by univariat, bivariat analyzes by chi square and multivariat analyzes by multiple logistic regression. The results of this research show that knowledge effect 3 times, income effect 3 times, distance to health service effect 2,5 times and pain effect 2 times to breast cancer examination delays. The conclusions of this study are there are casual link between knowledge, income, distance to health service and pain to breast cancer examination delays. Recommended to women to improve their knowledge about breast cancer examination and suggested to Health Departement of Riau Province through community health centers to give education and socialization about breast cancer to community.   Keywords: Screening Delays, Breast Cancer, Knowledge, Income, Distance

Objective: To evaluate which stage of breast reconstruction promotes improved quality of life for women treated for breast cancer, and to verify the socioeconomic and clinical factors associated with better quality of life. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 70 women treated for breast cancer in the perioperative period of late breast reconstruction in the Federal District. To assess quality of life, the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy — Breast (FACT-B) instrument was used. Results: Half of the women were under 50 years old. Tumor removal surgery had occurred on average 5.4 years ago. Women with axillary dissection had greater impairment in the physical well-being domain (p=0.001) and the breast cancer subscale (p=0.016). Among women who had undergone surgery more than one year previously, there were higher domains of emotional (p=0.006) and functional (p=0.003) well-being. Women who underwent breast reconstruction had higher values in the social/family well-being (p<0.001), emotional well-being (p=0.001), functional well-being (p=0.001), and breast cancer subscale (p=0.005) domains; and on the FACT-B score (p<0.001), right after the first stage. Conclusions: Breast reconstruction favored better quality of life from the first stage, suggesting that this therapeutic modality should be offered promptly, whenever possible, and guaranteed for all women treated for breast cancer.

Abstract Objective To outline the epidemiological profile of surgical patients treated at the peripheral-nerve outpatient clinic of a public hospital in the state of Pernambuco, Brazil, from 2008 (the year this service was implemented in the hospital ) to 2016. Material and Methods A cross-sectional study with data collection from the medical records. A descriptive analysis was performed with the qualitative variables presented as relative and absolute frequencies, and the quantitative variables, as means and standard deviations. The studied variables were gender, age, diagnosis, and surgical techniques. Results In total, 506 medical records were analyzed. Of these, 269 were of male patients (53%), and 238 were of female patients (46%). The age of the sample ranged from 5 to 84 years (41 ± 14 years). The most prevalent diagnoses were: carpal tunnel syndrome (38.9%) followed by traumatic brachial plexus injury (33.2%). The first diagnosis was more frequent among women, while the second, among men. This collaborates with the predominant findings of upper-limb lesions (91%), in which men accounted for 52,75% (244) and women, for 47,25% (217). Conclusion The present study provided relevant information regarding the reality of peripheral-nerve surgeries performed at a public hospital in the state of Pernambuco, Brazil. Public health issues increasingly require the continuity of public policies and government incentive.

Introduction: Hormone therapy is a method consisting of the use of hormone inhibitors for the treatment of receptor-positive breast cancer, estrogen and progesterone receptors. The types of hormone therapy used are selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERM) and aromatase inhibitors (IA). It is noteworthy that hormone therapy can cause increased appetite, water retention, and progressive weight gain. The objective of this staudy is to evaluate the nutritional status of women with breast cancer on hormone therapy at a private clinic in the Federal District. Methods: A cross-sectional, analytical and descriptive study, approved by the Research Ethics Committee, was conducted from September to October 2018, in a private clinic in the Federal District, involving patients diagnosed with breast cancer using hormone therapy, female, aged ≥ 18 years. Anthropometric parameters were evaluated by bioimpedance, arm circumference, calf, and tricipital and bicipital folds. As a method of assessment of nutritional status and symptomatology was applied the global subjective assessment produced by the patient (ASG-PPP). Results: The sample consisted of 18 women over 35 years old, who were pre- and postmenopausal in the post-treatment stage of the disease, with an average BMI of 28 kg/m2. Most women (74%, n = 13) were overweight and obese, in which 89% of participants had weight gain since the beginning of treatment. An association of weight change with SGA-PPP was also analyzed, and only 6% of the interviewed population was at risk. Conclusion: Given the data presented, it cannot be stated that the results obtained are solely related to the use of adjuvant therapy drugs
