Objective. To analyze the duties of wet nurses at the Hospital Real in Santiago de Compostela (Spain). The secondary objectives were to compare the mortality rate and distribution by parish of the foundlings under the care of the Royal House between 1803 and 1808; and to determine the origin of the Galician foundlings who participated in the Royal Philanthropic Expedition of the Smallpox Vaccine in 1803. Methods. Historiographic study that analyzed sorted and not sorted in series indirect positional and quantitative historical sources.Results. The duties of wet nurses during the studied period were to provide basic care and cultural instruction. The mortality rate of foundlings fluctuated during that period and their distribution by parish (functional unit of healthcare services at that time) was similar in those years, with a predominance in the provinces of A Coruña and Pontevedra. A total of 5 Galician foundlings from the House analyzed were part of the smallpox vaccine expedition, their names were Juan Antonio, Jacinto, Gerónimo María, Francisco Florencio and Juan Francisco. Conclusion. During the observed period the wet nurses of the Hospital Real of Santiago de Compostela were in charge of pediatric care. Wet nurses were vital in the role of keeping the foundlings alive and can be considered as one of the forerunners of the pediatric nurse profession at that time.

Repercussions of the COVID-19 pandemic on breast cancer actions in a Brazilian state / Repercusiones de la pandemia de COVID-19 en las acciones contra el cáncer de mama en un estado brasileira / Repercussões a pandemia da COVID-19 nas ações do câncer de mama em um Estado Brasileiro

Objective. To analyze whether the COVID-19 pandemic had an impact on the screening, diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer in women up to 50 years of age in the state of Pará. Methods. Retrospective, cross-sectional study with a quantitative approach, using data from the Information Technology Department of the Brazilian Unified Health System. (DATASUS). The number of exams carried out in the pre-pandemic (2018-2019) and pandemic (2020-2021) period was analyzed based on the percentage variation, application of the chi-square test and G test for the time of exams and start time of treatment. Results. During the pandemic period, there was a greater number of screening mammograms (+3.68%), cytological (+23.68%), histological (+10.7%) and a lower number of diagnostic mammograms (-38.7%). The time interval for carrying out the exams was up to 30 days for screening and diagnostic exams and more than 60 days to start treatment during the pandemic period. Conclusion. Although the results indicate an increase in the number of screening and diagnostic procedures for breast cancer during the pandemic period, with the exception of diagnostic mammography, when considering probability values, the study points out that statistically the COVID-19 pandemic did not interfere with actions of breast cancer, in women over 50 years of age, in the state of Pará. Considering the autonomy of nursing and its role in public health, it is up to the professionals who are in charge of primary care programs to implement contingency plans in periods of crisis so that the population is not left unassisted.

Objetivo. Analizar si la pandemia de COVID-19 tuvo impacto en el tamizaje, diagnóstico y tratamiento del cáncer de mama en mujeres de 50 años y más del Estado do Pará-Brasil. Métodos. Estudio retrospectivo, transversal, con abordaje cuantitativo, en el que se utilizaron los datos del Departamento de Informática del Sistema Único de Salud de Brasil (DATASUS). Se comparó el número de exámenes realizados y el tiempo para el inicio de tratamiento en los períodos prepandémico (2018-2019) y pandémico (2020-2021). Resultados. Se observó un mayor número de mamografías de cribado (+3.68%), citologías (+23.68%) e histologías (+10.7%) y un menor número de mamografías diagnósticas (-38.7%) en el período pandémico. El tiempo para la realización de las pruebas fue de hasta 30 días para el cribado y diagnóstico y de más de 60 días para el inicio del tratamiento durante el período pandémico. Conclusión. Aunque los resultados indican un aumento del número de procedimientos de cribado y diagnóstico del cáncer de mama en el periodo pandémico, con la excepción de la mamografía diagnóstica, cuando consideramos los valores de p) el estudio muestra que la pandemia COVID-19 estadísticamente no interfirió en las acciones preventivas contra el cáncer de mama en mujeres de 50 años y más en el estado de Pará. Teniendo en cuenta la autonomía de la enfermería y su papel en la salud pública, corresponde a los profesionales responsables de los programas de atención primaria implementar planes de contingencia en tiempos de crisis para no dejar desatendida a la población.

Objetivo. Analisar se a pandemia da COVID-19 repercutiu no rastreamento, diagnóstico e tratamento do câncer de mama em mulheres paraenses a partir de 50 anos. Métodos. Estudo retrospectivo, transversal, de abordagem quantitativa, com utilização de dados do Departamento de Informática do Sistema Único de Saúde brasileiro. (DATASUS). Analisou-se o número de exames realizados no período pré-pandemia (2018-2019) e pandêmico (2020-2021) com base na variação percentual, aplicação do teste qui quadrado e teste G para o tempo de realização de exames e tempo de início de tratamento. Resultados. Observou-se no período pandêmico maior quantitativo de mamografias de rastreamento (+3.68%), citológicos (+23.68%), histológicos (+10.7%) e menor registro de mamografias diagnósticas (-38.7%). O intervalo de tempo para realização dos exames foi de até 30 dias para os exames de rastreamento e diagnóstico e tempo maior que 60 dias para início de tratamento no período pandêmico. Conclusão. Embora os resultados indiquem aumento no quantitativo de procedimentos de rastreamento e diagnósticos para o câncer de mama no período pandêmico, com exceção da mamografia diagnóstica, ao considerarmos os valores de probabilidade, o estudo aponta que estatisticamente a pandemia da COVID-19 não interferiu nas ações do câncer de mama, em mulheres a partir de 50 anos, no Estado do Pará. Considerando a autonomia da enfermagem e sua atuação na saúde pública, cabe aos profissionais que estão à frente dos programas da atenção básica implementar planos de contingência em períodos de crise para que a população não fique desassistida.

Representações culturais do câncer de mama: uma revisão de escopo / Breast cancer cultural representations: a scoping review

Resumo O objetivo deste artigo é mapear a produção científica global sobre representações sociais ou culturais e câncer de mama no campo da saúde coletiva e discutir como esse fenômeno se apresenta na literatura. Foi realizada uma revisão de escopo, tendo como norte a seguinte pergunta: "Como representações culturais ou sociais no contexto do câncer de mama são descritas na produção científica global no âmbito da saúde coletiva?". As buscas foram realizadas em cinco fontes de literatura científica, sendo incluídos 45 estudos. O tratamento analítico seguiu a técnica de análise de conteúdo na modalidade temática. O acervo analisado pode ser tematizado nas seguintes categorias: (1) Comprometimento na imagem corporal e nas interações; (2) Espiritualidade; (3) Perda do controle da vida; (4) Seguir com a vida e (5) Associação a questões étnico-raciais. Apesar dos avanços da biomedicina, observa-se que nas representações do câncer de mama ainda permanecem metáforas associadas ao câncer no século passado. Conclui-se que, dentre outros aspectos, a atenção a mulheres com câncer de mama não pode ser pautada apenas pelas abordagens biomédica e epidemiológica, uma vez que essa doença é atravessada por saberes que competem com essas abordagens.

Abstract This article aims to map the global scientific production on social or cultural representations and breast cancer in Public Health and discuss how it is presented in the literature. We conducted a scoping review guided by the question: "How are cultural or social representations in the context of breast cancer described in the global scientific Public Health production?". We searched for works in five scientific literature sources and included 45 studies. The analytical process followed the content analysis technique in the thematic modality. The analyzed collection can be thematized into the following categories: (1) Compromised body image and interactions, (2) Spirituality, (3) Loss of control over life, (4) Going on with life, and (5) Association with ethnic-racial issues. Despite advances in biomedicine, we observed that representations of breast cancer still have metaphors associated with cancer in the last century. We conclude that, among other aspects, care for women with breast cancer cannot be guided only by biomedical and epidemiological approaches since this disease is traversed by knowledge that competes with these approaches.

Síndrome de Mondor associada à mamoplastia de aumento: relato de caso / Mondor syndrome associated with breast augmentation: case report

A forma mamária da síndrome de Mondor é uma afecção rara e autolimitada que se caracteriza pela tromboflebite de veias superficiais da mama. Entender tal síndrome é de suma importância para o diagnóstico correto e o tratamento preciso e não iatrogênico, tendo em vista apresentar considerável relação com o carcinoma mamário. Esse relato de caso retrata o surgimento da síndrome de Mondor em uma paciente jovem de 22 anos, após uma mamoplastia de aumento. O sinal característico da afecção, o cordão fibroso, manifestou-se na mama direita a partir do vigésimo terceiro dia de pós-operatório, desaparecendo por completo após 10 semanas. O diagnóstico foi dado pelo cirurgião plástico que acompanhou a paciente mediante anamnese e exame físico, sem a urgência de um exame complementar, como a mamografia. Vale ressaltar que tal afecção rara pode acometer o sexo masculino - em menor frequência - e afetar outras regiões, como o pênis e o escroto. Ademais, é salutar reconhecer e diagnosticar a síndrome de Mondor, visto que as cirurgias com o fitoestético estão em constante crescimento na atualidade, com o escopo de conduzir os pacientes da melhor forma para um tratamento eficaz e menos invasivo (exceto na presença concomitante de câncer de mama, por exemplo), além de tranquilizá-los a respeito da afecção.

The breast form of Mondor syndrome is a rare and self-limited condition characterized by thrombophlebitis of the superficial veins of the breast. Understanding this syndrome is extremely important for correct diagnosis and precise, non-iatrogenic treatment, given that it has a considerable relationship with breast carcinoma. This case report portrays the emergence of Mondor syndrome in a young 22-year-old patient, after breast augmentation. The characteristic sign of the condition, the fibrous cord, appeared in the right breast from the twenty-third day after surgery, disappearing completely after 10 weeks. The diagnosis was given by the plastic surgeon who followed the patient through anamnesis and physical examination, without the urgency of a complementary exam, such as a mammography. It is worth mentioning that this rare condition can affect males - less frequently - and affect other regions, such as the penis and scrotum. Furthermore, it is beneficial to recognize and diagnose Mondor syndrome, as surgeries using phytoaesthetics are constantly growing today, intending to guide patients in the best way possible for an effective and less invasive treatment (except in the concomitant presence of cancer). breast, for example), in addition to reassuring them about the condition.

Linfoma anaplásico de grandes células T associado ao uso de implantes (BIA-ALCL): relato de caso / Implant-associated anaplastic large T-cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL): case report

Reconhecido pela Organização Mundial de Saúde em 2016, o linfoma anaplásico de grandes células associado ao implante mamário (BIA-ALCL) é um subtipo incomum de linfoma não Hodgkin de células T, que se desenvolve após a inserção de próteses mamárias. A doença é uma afecção rara que afeta cerca de uma a cada 30.000 pessoas com implante mamário texturizado. As principais manifestações clínicas são o seroma tardio, assimetria mamária, massa e contratura capsular, com frequência mais elevada do primeiro. O explante da prótese com capsulectomia total pode ser suficiente para tratar o ALCL, com ressecções estendidas a locais adjacentes, quando necessário. Entretanto, em alguns casos, é realizada a radioterapia e/ou quimioterapia adjuvante. Conclui-se que, para um diagnóstico precoce e um tratamento efetivo, mulheres com seroma de aparecimento súbito e tardio deverão realizar exames complementares para a exclusão dessa afecção, mesmo com tempo inferior à média de desenvolvimento, que é de cerca de 10,6 anos.

Recognized by the World Health Organization in 2016, breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) is an uncommon subtype of T-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma that develops after the insertion of breast implants. The disease is a rare condition that affects approximately one in every 30,000 people with textured breast implants. The main clinical manifestations are late seroma, breast asymmetry, mass, and capsular contracture, with a higher frequency of the former. Explantation of the prosthesis with total capsulectomy may be sufficient to treat ALCL, with resections extended to adjacent sites when necessary. However, in some cases, adjuvant radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy is performed. It is concluded that, for an early diagnosis and effective treatment, women with sudden and late-onset seroma should undergo additional tests to exclude this condition, even with a shorter development time than the average, which is around 10.6 years.

Evaluación de la expresión de PD-L1 e infiltración linfocitaria intratumoral en carcinoma de mama invasivo triple negativo / Evaluation of PD-L1 expression and intratumoral lym phocytic infiltration in triple-negative invasive breast car cinoma

Resumen Introducción : El endofenotipo de cáncer de mama triple negativo (TNBC) es uno de los menos frecuentes y sin diana terapéutica, por tanto, se plantea estudiar la correlación del punto de control inmunológico PD-L1 con el establecimiento de microambiente tumoral evaluado por la infiltración linfocitaria intratumoral estromal (TILs) y su importancia en la práctica clínica. Métodos : Se realizó un estudio retrospectivo de casos y controles, con 31 casos de carcinoma infiltrante de la mama triple negativo y 57 controles no pareados de endofenotipo Luminal A, Luminal B y HER-2 atendidos en un año. Se evaluaron las variables: tipo y grado his tológico, expresión PD-L1 con el clon 22C3, TILs, invasión linfovascular, tamaño tumoral, compromiso de ganglios linfáticos y metástasis. El análisis estadístico se ejecutó con la prueba de chi cuadrado y prueba de coeficiente de correlación de Spearman. Resultados : Se encontró una correlación negativa estadísticamente significativa entre TILs y PD-L1 (rho - 0.106, p 0.025), indicando que a mayor expresión de PD-L1, es menor la infiltración linfocitaria intratumo ral. En los grupos de TILs B (10-40% TILs) y C (40-90% TILs) donde se presenta marcado infiltrado inflamatorio intratumoral se evidenció mayor número de pacientes negativos para PD-L1 (CPS <10) con 16 y 10 casos res pectivamente. Para los casos TNBC se logró identificar un coeficiente de asociación negativa (rho -0.378) y con significancia estadística (p 0.01). Discusión : Se estableció la asociación de TNBC, TILs y expresión de PDL1, lo cual es importante para la instau ración de terapias diana y el desarrollo de la medicina de precisión.

Abstract Introduction : Triple negative breast cancer endophe notype (TNBC) is one of the least frequent and without therapeutic target; therefore we propose to study the correlation of PD-L1 immune checkpoint with the es tablishment of tumor microenvironment assessed by intratumoral stromal lymphocyte infiltration (TILS) and its importance in clinical practice. Methods : A retrospective case-control study was performed, with 31 cases of triple-negative infiltrat ing breast carcinoma and 57 unmatched controls of Luminal A, Luminal B and HER-2 endophenotype seen in one year. The following variables were evaluated: histologic type and grade, PD-L1 expression with clone 22C3, TILS, lymphovascular invasion, tumor size, lymph node involvement and metastasis. Statistical analysis was performed with the chi-square test and Spearman correlation coefficient test. Results : a statistically significant negative correlation was found between TILS and PD-L1 (rho - 0.106, p 0.025), indicating that the higher the expression of PD-L1, the lower the intratumoral lymphocytic infiltration. In the TILS B (10-40% TILS) and C (40-90% TILS) groups where there was a marked intratumoral inflammatory infiltrate, a greater number of patients were negative for PD-L1 (CPS <10) with 16 and 10 cases, respectively. For TNBC cases a negative association coefficient was identified (rho -0.378) with statistical significance (p 0.01). Discussion : The association between TNBC, TILS and PDL1 expression was established, which is important for the establishment of target therapies and the develop ment of precision medicine.

Impacto del Score de Recurrencia de 21 genes (Oncotype DX®) sobre la toma de decisión en tratamiento adyuvante: un estudio multicéntrico y colaborativo / Impact of the 21-gene Recurrence Score (Oncotype DX®) on decision-making in adjuvant treatment: a multicenter and collaborative study

En la actualidad, más de la mitad de las pacientes con cáncer de mama receptor hormonal positivo recibe algún esquema de quimioterapia adyuvante. Sin embargo, sólo algunas de ellas obtendrían un beneficio real en términos de sobrevida. Las plataformas genómicas permiten un mejor entendimiento de la heterogeneidad tumoral entre carcinomas con receptores hormonales positivos, Her2 negativos, habiendo sido validadas como herramientas para identificar aquellas. pacientes que obtendrían un beneficio claro con el tratamiento quimioterápico. El objetivo de nuestro estudio es describir el uso de la plataforma genómica Oncotype Dx® y evaluar su impacto sobre la indicación del tratamiento adyuvante, evaluado principalmente a través del cambio de conducta en relación con la indicación final del tratamiento adyuvante. Material y método: Estudio multicéntrico observacional de cohorte llevado a cabo en distintas Unidades de Mastología de la República Argentina que utilizaran el Oncotype Dx* para esclarecer la indicación del tratamiento adyuvante en pacientes luminales Her2neu negativas en estadio inicial. Se registraron las decisiones relacionadas con el tratamiento antes y luego de realizar la prueba genómica. El objetivo secundario consistió en describir los eventos en aquellas pacientes en quiénes se solicitó dicho estudio. Resultados: Entre enero de 2013 y diciembre de 2018, 211 pacientes con carcinomas luminales A o B, Her2neu negativas realizaron el Oncotype Dx* y fueron incluidas en el estudio. Según nuestros registros, 40% de las pacientes experimentó un cambio en la indicación del tratamiento adyuvante luego de realizada la plataforma genómica. De aquellas pacientes que tenían indicación inicial de hormonoterapia según parámetros tradicionales clínico-patológicos, 24% recibió adicionalmente quimioterapia. En relación con las pacientes que tenían indicación inicial de quimio y hormonoterapia, 49% experimentó un cambio en la indicación de su adyuvancia pudiendo realizar únicamente hormonoterapia. En relación a los eventos descriptos en las pacientes participantes del trabajo, se registraron 4 muertes específicas por la enfermedad, una muerte por otra causa, 2 recaídas a distancia y un cáncer de mama contralateral. Conclusiones: En nuestra población de estudio el uso del Score de Recurrencia (RS) resultó clínicamente significativo en relación al cambio de conducta en la toma de decisión para adyuvancia. En consecuencia, para este grupo de investigadores, ha demostrado ser una herramienta de significativa importancia en la decisión del tratamiento adyuvante de pacientes con cáncer de mama temprano, luminal, Her2neu negativo(AU)

Objetive: Currently, over half of all patients diagnosed with hormone-receptor positive early stage breast cancer will receive some type of adjuvant chemotherapy (CHT), but only a few of them will actually benefit in terms of survival. Genomic platforms allow a better understanding of the heterogeneity among the different types of hormone receptor positive, her2 negative breast cancer, and have proven their validity as tools for identifying those patients who will obtain a clear benefit from CHT. The aim of our study was to analyze the use of the genomic platform Oncotype Dx® in our population and describe its impact on the decision of adjuvant treatment assessed through change in treatment decision. Material and method: this was a real world collaborative observational study, which was performed across several Breast Units in Argentina. Patients who underwent Oncotype Dx® testing to determine adjuvant treatment were included. Decisions regarding treatment were settled before and after the oncotype was performed by the tumor boards of each Breast Unit. Results: From January 2013 to December 2018, 211 patients with luminal A or B, her 2 negative breast cancer who underwent Oncotype Dx" testing were included. We found that treatment decisions were modified after Oncotype DX in approximately 40% of patients. In 24% percent of cases, chemotherapy was added to the initial treatment plan although endocrine therapy alone had initially been considered (potential subtreatment); and on the other hand, 49% of all patients were able to receive endocrine therapy only when, due to traditional prognostic factors, they would have received chemotherapy (potential overtreatment). Conclusions: In our population, we found that the use of the Recurrence Score was associated with a significant change in treatment recommendation We therefore consider it to be a very important tool and a decisive factor for the selection of adjuvant treatment in patients with hormone receptor positive, her2neu negative early breast cancer(AU)

Biopsia radioquirúrgica asistida por radioscopia intraoperatoria. Descripción del método y nuestra experiencia en el Hospital Universitario Austral / Intraoperative radioscopy-assisted radiosurgical biopsy. Description of the method and our experience at the Austral University Hospital

Introducción: En la actualidad entre un 25 y 30% de los cánceres de mama se representan por lesiones no palpables. Es por eso que ha aumentado y se nos exige cada vez más en la detección de estas lesiones y posterior tratamiento de las mismas. Presentamos en este trabajo nuestra experiencia desde 2014 a 2020 de la realización de Biopsia radio quirúrgica guiada por radioscopia intraoperatoria. Objetivo: El objetivo de nuestro trabajo es evaluar si la BRQ asistida por radioscopia permitió mejorar ciertos parámetros, como la evaluación de márgenes quirúrgicos, tasas de retumorectomias, volumen de tejido resecado y tiempo quirúrgico empleado. Material y método: Se realizó un estudio observacional retrospectivo de tipo corte transversal, incluyendo las pacientes con lesiones mamarias no palpables a las cuales se les realizó punción biopsia y colocación de clip metálico, y que luego fueron sometidas a BRQ en el Centro Mamario del Hospital Universitario Austral entre noviembre de 2014 a noviembre de 2020. Resultados: Se incluyeron un total de 128 pacientes. En el 100% de las cirugías se logró la extracción del clip, colocado preoperatoriamente. No encontramos diferencias estadísticamente significativas, entre ambos grupos con respecto a la edad de las pacientes, tipo de cirugía, piezas obtenidas, márgenes quirúrgicos y necesidad de re operación. Sí se constató una diferencia estadísticamente significativa en cuanto al volumen total resecado, siendo esta menor en la técnica de BRQ con radioscopia, infiriendo un mejor resultado cosmético. Conclusiones: La biopsia radioquirúrgica asistida por radioscopia es un procedimiento sencillo que permite extirpar las lesiones no palpables de la mama, minimizando la probabilidad de fallo del procedimiento, y con menor volumen de tejido mamario resecado. Con la sistematización de la técnica, se podrían mejorar otros parámetros, inclusive los costos del procedimiento, lo cual creemos que da un gran beneficio en la práctica diaria para la resección de estas lesiones(AU)

Introduction: Currently, between 25 and 30% of breast cancers are represented by non-palpable lesions. That is why it has increased and we are increasingly required to detect these lesions and later treat them. In this study we present our experience from 2014 to 2020 of performing intraoperative fluoroscopy-guided radio-surgical biopsy. Objetive: The objective of our workis to evaluate whether radioscopy-assisted BRQ allowed to improve certain parameters, such as the evaluation of surgical margins, re-lumpectomy rates, volume of resected tissue, and surgical time used. Material and method: A retrospective cross-sectional observational study was carried out, including patients with non-palpable breast lesions who underwent a biopsy puncture and metal clip placement, and who then underwent BRQ at the Breast Center of the Austral University Hospital between November from 2014 to November 2020. Results: A total of 128 patients were included. In 100% of the surgeries, the clip was extracted, placed preoperatively. We did not find statistically significant differences between both groups with respect to the age of the patients, type of surgery, pieces obtained, surgical margins and need for reoperation. A statistically significant difference was found in terms of the total volume resected, this being less in the BRQ technique with fluoroscopy, inferring a better cosmetic result. The aesthetic result is very good. Conclusions: Radioscopy -assisted radio surgical biopsy is a simple procedure that allows the removal of non-palpable breast lesions, minimizing the probability of procedural failure, and with a smaller volume of resected breast tissue. With the systematization of the technique, other parameters could be improved, including the costs of the procedure, which we believe is of great benefit in daily practice for the resection of these lesions(AU)

Adherencia de pacientes de alto riesgo heredo-familiar de cáncer de mama a "Programa de Vigilancia Activa": experiencia de la Clínica de Alto Riesgo de Cáncer de Mama del Centro Mamario del Hospital Universitario Austral / Adherence of patients with high hereditary-familial risk of breast cancer to the "Active Surveillance Program": experience of the High Risk Breast Cancer Clinic of the Breast Center of the Austral University Hospital

Introducción: Las mujeres con predisposición genética-familiar presentan un riesgo más elevado de desarrollar cáncer de mama. La vigilancia es una de las estrategias más efectivas para ofrecer a este subgrupo de mujeres, sin embargo la adherencia a la misma puede ser dificultosa. Objetivo: Analizar la adherencia de las pacientes con Alto Riesgo Heredo-Familiar (ARHF) al programa específico de "Seguimiento de pacientes de Alto Riesgo" del Hospital Universitario Austral. Material y método: Se revisaron de forma retrospectiva datos de 104 mujeres sanas con ARHF que ingresaron al programa de vigilancia: "Seguimiento de pacientes de Alto Riesgo" del Hospital Universitario Austral en el período comprendido entre junio de 2016 a febrero de 2022. Resultados: La adherencia al programa fue total en 38 pacientes (36,54%) y parcial en 42 (40,38%). Se observó falta de adherencia en 24 pacientes (23,07%). La causa más prevalente fue la incomodidad al realizar la resonancia (54,16%). Analizando la adherencia según el año de ingreso al programa se observa una caída significativa a partir del 3er año de seguimiento y solo 48,98% completaron la sexta ronda. Conclusiones: La falta de adherencia observada fue significativa. Los datos demostrados apuntan a una necesidad de continuar desarrollando estrategias que faciliten el seguimiento(AU)

Introduction: Women with a genetic-familial predisposition have a higher risk of developing breast cancer. Surveillance is one of the most effective strategies to offer this subgroup of women, however adherence to it can be difficult. Objetive: To analize the adherence of patients with High Risk of Familial-Hereditary (HRFH) breast cancer to a specific program: "Follow-up in High Risk patients" of the Austral University Hospital. Material and method: Data from 104 women with HRFH who were admitted to the surveillance program: "Follow-up in High Risk patients" of the Austral University Hospital in the period from june 2016 to february 2022 were retrospectively reviewed. Results: Adherence to the program was complete in 38 patients (36,54%) and partial in 42 (40,38%). 24 (23,07%) patients had lack of adherence. The most prevalent cause was discomfort when performing the resonance (54,16%). When we analyze adherence according to the year of admission to the program, a significant drop is observed from de 3rd year of follow-up and only 48,98% completed round six. Conclusions: The observed lack of adherence was significant. The demonstrated data points to a need to continue developing strategies that facilitate monitoring(AU)

La técnica quirúrgica debe ser realizada preferentemente por cirujanos de mama con formación oncoplástica y reconstructiva de la mama(AU)

Introduction: Breast conservation has evolved and more oncoplastic techniques are used to obtain better cosmetic results. In addition, this technique allows wider excisions that prevents breast deformities by reconstructing large resection defects. Objetivo: Report with a clinical case: surgical strategy of multicentric breast cancer and oncoplastic breast-conservative surgery. Clinical case: A 72-year-old patient with large breasts with Grade III ptosis diagnosed with multicentric right mammary carcinoma Stage IA mT1cNO luminal A anatomical - prognosis. The patient's wishes to preserve the breast. Therapeutic mastoplasty + sentinel node (SLN) + mastopexy and contralateral reduction was decided. Pathology: right breast: multicentric infiltrating ductal carcinoma GC 0/3. Left breast: 1 focus of 2-mm infiltrating lobular carcinoma of the classic Nottingham score II type. free margin. Inmunohystochemistry: RE 95%, RP 95%, Her2 neu negative score 0 and ki67 2%. The case is discussed in the mastology unit, and we decided: Bilateral 3D radiotherapy and hormone therapy with anastrozole. Discussion: Therapeutic mastoplasty is considered a standard treatment option for selected patients, guaranteeing breast conservation with acceptable oncological safety, adequate aesthetic results and similar survival. It allows tumor excision with wider resection margins and acceptable oncological and cosmetic results. We believe that it is to provide accurate information to help the patient in making essential decisions about the specific consequences of any oncoplastic technique. Conclusions: Extreme oncoplasty should only be used for selected cases. It must be evaluated by a multidisciplinary team, ideally in the context of a mastology unit made up of: breast surgeons, radiotherapists, imaging specialists, oncologists, pathologists and psycho-oncologists. The surgical technique should preferably be performed by breast surgeons with oncoplastic and reconstructive training of the breast(AU)

Reticulohistiocitosis multicéntrica reveladora de cáncer de mama ductal in situ: reporte de caso con aspectos dermatoscópicos e histopatológicos / Multicentric reticulohistiocytosis revealing a ductal breast cancer in situ: A case report with dermoscopic and histopathological findings

La reticulohistiocitosis multicéntrica es una enfermedad inflamatoria, una histiocitosis de células no Langerhans, poco frecuente y de etiología desconocida. Se clasifica como multicéntrica al presentar compromiso multisistémico. La enfermedad afecta predominantemente a la piel y las articulaciones, pero es posible la afectación visceral. Las manifestaciones cutáneas se caracterizan por múltiples nódulos y pápulas de color eritemato-marronáceas, pruriginosas en la cara, manos, cuello y tronco. Se asocia a enfermedades autoinmunes y neoplasias malignas, observándose entre el 20 y el 30% de los pacientes con reticulohistiocitosis multicéntrica. Su diagnóstico se realiza sobre la base de la histopatología de tejidos afectados. Al ser una enfermedad poco reportada, no existe tratamiento estandarizado. Se reporta un caso de reticulohistiocitosis multicéntrica como manifestación paraneoplásica a un cáncer ductal de mama, siendo tratadas con éxito, sin recidivas luego de dos años de seguimiento. Pocos casos se han reportado en la literatura de reticulohistiocitosis multicéntrica asociado a cáncer mamario.

Multicentric reticulohistiocytosis is a rare non-Langerhans cell histiocytosis of unknown etiology. It is classified as multicentric because of multisystem involvement. The disease predominantly affects the skin and joints, but visceral involvement is possible. Multiple erythematous-brownish, pruritic nodules and papules on the face, hands, neck, and trunk are characteristic. It is associated with autoimmune diseases, or malignant neoplasms are seen in 20% to 30% of patients with multicentric reticulohistiocytosis. The diagnosis is based on histopathology of affected tissues. As it is an underreported disease, there is no standardized treatment. A case of multicentric reticulohistiocytosis is reported as a paraneoplastic manifestation of ductal breast cancer, being successfully treated with no recurrence after two years of follow-up. Few cases of multicentric reticulohistiocytosis associated with breast cancer have been reported in the literature.

Reconstrução mamária: Experiência de 10 anos / Breast reconstruction: 10 years experience

Introdução: A reconstrução mamária pós-tratamento cirúrgico do câncer de mama (um dos principais cânceres que acometem as mulheres) tem sido progressivamente mais indicada, haja vista o benefício da recuperação psicológica e da qualidade de vida, seja utilizando implantes e/ou tecidos autólogos. O presente trabalho visa demonstrar a experiência da equipe, discutir técnicas operatórias e complicações em relação aos dados da literatura mundial, além de verificar a aplicabilidade da técnica na prática clínica da equipe. Método: Estudo observacional retrospectivo desenvolvido em hospital universitário em Juiz de Fora a partir da revisão de prontuários de pacientes submetidas a mastectomia com reconstrução mamária entre 2010 e 2020. Resultados: Das 860 mamas abordadas, 84% foram imediatas à cirurgia oncológica e 16% foram tardias; o principal acesso ao tecido mamário foi a incisão de Stewart, seguido de incisões inframamárias estendidas, periareolares e T invertido; quanto às técnicas reconstrutoras, destaca-se 35% dos casos com retalho com músculo grande dorsal, 25% com prótese pré-peitoral, 20% com retalho miocutâneo transverso do músculo reto abdominal e 10% com retalho muscular local. As complicações mais incidentes foram deiscência de sítio cirúrgico, seguida de necrose cutânea, seroma, infecção de sítio cirúrgico e hematoma, além de outros menos comuns como dor crônica e ruptura de prótese após mamografia. Conclusão: A reconstrução mamária pós-mastectomia é indispensável para a recuperação física e emocional da mulher, sendo as técnicas utilizadas nos últimos dez anos consistentes, confiáveis, de baixa morbidade e com ótimos resultados estéticos quando bem indicadas.

Introduction: Breast reconstruction after surgical treatment for breast cancer (one of the main cancers that affect women) has been progressively more recommended, given the benefits of psychological recovery and quality of life, whether using implants and/or autologous tissues. The present work aims to demonstrate the team's experience, and discuss operative techniques and complications concerning data from the world literature, in addition to verifying the applicability of the technique in the team's clinical practice. Method: Retrospective observational study developed at a university hospital in Juiz de Fora based on a review of medical records of patients who underwent mastectomy with breast reconstruction between 2010 and 2020. Results: Of the 860 breasts treated, 84% underwent immediate oncological surgery and 16% were late; the main access to the breast tissue was the Stewart incision, followed by extended inframammary, periareolar, and inverted T incisions; regarding reconstructive techniques, 35% of cases used a latissimus dorsi muscle flap, 25% used a prepectoral prosthesis, 20% used a transverse rectus abdominis myocutaneous flap and 10% used a local muscle flap. The most common complications were surgical site dehiscence, followed by skin necrosis, seroma, surgical site infection, and hematoma, in addition to other less common complications such as chronic pain and prosthesis rupture after mammography. Conclusion: Postmastectomy breast reconstruction is essential for a woman's physical and emotional recovery, with the techniques used in the last ten years being consistent, reliable, with low morbidity, and with excellent aesthetic results when correctly indicated.

Achados incomuns em ressonância magnética de pacientes com implantes mamários / Unusual findings on MRI of patients with breast implants

Introdução: O implante de prótese mamárias é uma das cirurgias mais realizadas no mundo. Ao longo do tempo, diversos materiais foram utilizados com objetivo de reconstituir o volume mamário. Apesar das melhorias técnicas, cirúrgicas e da segurança dos implantes atuais, os pacientes são confrontados com potenciais complicações "não usuais": rupturas intracapsulares e extracapsulares, hematomas tardios e deformidade de contorno, silicone intralinfonodal ou herniação da cápsula fibrosa. A ressonância magnética (RMN) é a modalidade de imagem mais útil para investigação dessas complicações. Método: Trata-se de uma série de casos em que foram levantadas alterações ditas "não usuais", pela baixa frequência ou ausência na citação da literatura, após cirurgias de inclusão de prótese de silicone. Os dados foram coletados da experiência pessoal da clínica privada de um dos autores, na cidade de Brasília-DF, entre abril de 2015 e março de 2023. Resultados: Foram um total de 211 pacientes avaliados, e foram encontradas alterações menos frequentes nas RMN de 12 pacientes (5,68%), das quais: 5 com volumosa quantidade de líquido pericapsular, 3 com granuloma capsular, 1 seroma tardio com conteúdo hemorrágico,1 rotura intra e extracapsular, 1 nódulo junto à cápsula fibrosa do implante, 2 linfonodopatia axilar ipsilateral, 1 silicone intralinfonodal, 1 edema do músculo peitoral, 2 tumor desmoide e 1 herniação da cápsula fibrosa. Conclusão: Estima-se que existam 50 milhões de mulheres com próteses de mama no mundo. Com base nesse dado, o número de complicações ditas "não usuais" passa a ser um desafio diagnóstico para o cirurgião plástico e o radiologista.

Introduction: Breast prosthesis implantation is one of the most performed surgeries in the world. Over time, different materials were used to reconstitute breast volume. Despite technical and surgical improvements and the safety of current implants, patients are faced with potential "unusual" complications: intracapsular and extracapsular ruptures, late hematomas and contour deformity, intra-nodal silicone, or herniation of the fibrous capsule. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the most useful imaging modality for investigating these complications. Method: This is a series of cases in which so-called "unusual" changes were reported, due to their low frequency or lack of mention in the literature, after surgeries to include a silicone prosthesis. The data were collected from the personal experience of one of the authors in his private clinic, in the city of Brasília-DF, between April 2015 and March 2023. Results: A total of 211 patients were evaluated, and less frequent changes were found in the MRI of 12 patients (5.68%), of which: 5 with a large amount of pericapsular fluid, 3 with capsular granuloma, 1 late seroma with hemorrhagic content, 1 intra and extracapsular rupture, 1 nodule close to the implant's fibrous capsule, 2 axillary lymph node disease ipsilateral, 1 intra-nodal silicone, 1 pectoral muscle edema, 2 desmoid tumor and 1 herniation of the fibrous capsule. Conclusion: It is estimated that there are 50 million women with breast implants in the world. Based on this data, the number of so-called "unusual" complications becomes a diagnostic challenge for the plastic surgeon and radiologist.

In silico evaluation of the gene expression profile of syndecan-4 in different breast tumor subtypes / Avaliação in silico do perfil de expressão gênica do sindecam-4 nos diferentes subtipos de tumores de mama

INTRODUCTION: Breast cancer is one of the main causes of death in women. Luminal tumors A and B show good response with hormonal treatments, tumors that overexpress HER-2 can be treated with monoclonal antibodies, whereas triple negative tumors have few treatments available because they present low or absent expression of hormone receptors and HER-2, in addition, they present worse tumor progression. Syndecans are heparan sulfate proteoglycans that have the function of interacting with growth factors, cytokines, and extracellular matrix, thus modulating important processes in tumor progression. OBJECTIVE: Analyze the expression of syndecan-4 in different subtypes of breast tumors. METHODS: Bioinformatics is a useful tool for the study of new biomarkers. In the present study, the TCGA database (514 patients) and Metabric (1,898 patients) were analyzed using the cBioportal software. Gene expression data were analyzed by RNA-Seq and Microarray from biopsies of breast tumors. RESULTS: An alteration in syndecan-4 gene expression was observed among the different subtypes of breast tumors. Patients with a triple-negative tumor had decreased expression for syndecan-4 in both databases. CONCLUSION: Syndecan-4 is a potential biomarker for breast tumor prognosis since decreased expression of syndecan-4 is related to triple-negative breast cancer.

INTRODUÇÃO: O câncer de mama corresponde a uma das principais causas de morte em mulheres. Os tumores luminais A e B apresentam boa resposta com tratamentos hormonais, os tumores que superexpressam HER-2 podem ser tratados com anticorpos monoclonais, já os tumores triplo-negativos apresentam poucos tratamentos disponíveis por apresentarem expressão baixa ou ausente dos receptores hormonais e HER-2, além de pior progressão tumoral. Os sindecans são proteoglicanos de heparam sulfato que tem função de interagir com fatores de crescimento, citocinas e matriz extracelular, modulando assim processos importantes na progressão tumoral. OBJETIVO: Analisar a expressão o sindecam-4 nos diferentes subtipos de tumores de mama. MÉTODOS: A bioinformática vem se mostrando útil para estudo de novos biomarcadores. No presente estudo, foi analisado o banco de dados TCGA (514 pacientes) e Metabric (1898 pacientes) utilizando o software cBioportal. Foram analisados os dados de expressão gênica por RNA-Seq e Microarray. RESULTADOS: Foi verificada alteração de expressão gênica do sindecam-4 entre os diferentes subtipos de tumores de mama. Pacientes com tumor triplo-negativo tiveram a expressão diminuída para sindecam-4 em ambos os bancos de dados. CONCLUSÃO: Foi verificado que sindecam-4 parece ser um potencial biomarcador em tumores de mama, a expressão diminuída de sindecam-4 parece estar relacionada a um pior prognóstico.

Nursing care regarding the psycho-emotional aspects of women submitted to mastectomy / Assistência de enfermagem frente aos aspectos psicoemocionais de mulheres mastectomizadas

Breast cancer, or breast neoplasm, is one of the most frequent types of cancer, and one of the most prevalent among women. The diagnosis and specific treatments, such as mastectomy surgery, lead women to experience different feelings, with the most predominant negative thoughts. In this way, the objective of this study is to describe the importance of nursing care in the face of the psycho-emotional aspects of women after mastectomy. This is an integrative literature review study, developed in electronic Medline and Lilacs databases. The following terms were used: Breast neoplasm; Nursing; Emotions; Mastectomy. A total of 2,314 articles were found, of which eight were selected. The results and discussions were divided into two thematic axes: The first deals with the emotions of women after mastectomy, whose feelings arising from the diagnosis of the disease start to affect different areas, such as personality, sexuality, family, and social relationships. Furthermore, the second deals with nursing care after mastectomy, which must be conducted integrally, aiming at restoring physical and emotional health. Nursing is the vehicle capable of planning and collaborating with these women, promoting humanized treatment and assistance, oriented and aimed at a better quality of life, and stimulating self-help, self-esteem, and acceptance of their body.

O câncer de mama ou neoplasia da mama, é um dos tipos de cânceres mais frequentes, e um dos mais prevalentes entre as mulheres. O diagnóstico e determinados tratamentos, como a cirurgia de mastectomia, levam as mulheres a vivenciarem diferentes sentimentos, sendo os pensamentos negativos os mais predominantes. Desta maneira, o objetivo deste estudo é descrever a importância da assistência do enfermeiro frente aos aspectos psicoemocionais de mulheres mastectomizadas. Trata-se de um estudo de revisão integrativa da literatura, desenvolvida nas bases eletrônicas de dados Medline e Lilacs. Foram utilizados os seguintes descritores: Neoplasias da mama; Enfermagem; Emoções; Mastectomia. Foram encontrados 2314 artigos, dos quais foram selecionados oito. Os resultados e discussões foram divididos em dois eixos temáticos: O primeiro trata das emoções das mulheres mastectomizadas, cujos sentimentos advindos com o diagnóstico da doença passam a afetar diferentes aspectos psicoemocionais, como personalidade, sexualidade, família e relações sociais. E o segundo trata da assistência de enfermagem após a mastectomia, a qual deve se dar de maneira integral, visando tanto o restabelecimento da saúde física quanto emocional. A enfermagem pode desempenhar um cuidado diferenciado e voltado para as necessidades psicoemocionais das mulheres, promovendo tratamento e assistência humanizados, orientados e voltados a uma melhor qualidade de vida, e com o fim de estimular a autoajuda, a autoestima e a aceitação de seu corpo.

Cáncer de mama en el hombre. Reporte de caso / Breast cancer in men. Case repor

Introducción: El cáncer de mama masculino es una patología infrecuente que re-presenta menos del 1% de la patología mamaria maligna, con una edad media de diagnóstico de 67 años. Tiene un peor pronóstico que el cáncer de mama femenino debido a su alto origen genético y baja sospecha, desencadenando diagnósticos inadecuados y tardíos, y disminuyendo la supervivencia a mediano y largo plazo.Objetivo: Describir el caso clínico de un paciente masculino con diagnóstico de cáncer de mama, abordando la presentación clínica, los métodos diagnósticos, el tratamiento oncoespecífico, y la evolución clínica y quirúrgica. Presentación del caso: Se presenta un paciente masculino de 52 años, con evi-dencia de lesión exofítica en mama derecha más ganglio axilar ipsilateral, con diag-nóstico confirmado de patología de cáncer de mama estadio clínico cT4bN1Mx. Se plantea un manejo multidisciplinario: quimioterapia neoadyuvante y mastecto-mía radical derecha. Finalmente recibe tratamiento oncoespecífico y radioterapia con evolución favorable.Discusión: El cáncer de mama masculino tiene una baja incidencia respecto a la mujer, por lo que su sospecha diagnóstica se ve limitada. En etapas iniciales el diagnóstico es inespecífico debido a las pocas manifestaciones clínicas, pero deberá respaldarse en métodos imagenológicos, análisis anatomopatológico e in-munohistoquímico para guiar el tratamiento oncoespecífico.Conclusión: El cáncer de mama masculino posee una sospecha diagnóstica limi-tada que requiere un manejo multidisciplinario específico. La correcta estadifica-ción de la patología depende del seguimiento clínico y un análisis inmunohistoquí-mico oportuno, para un tratamiento adecuado con mejores resultados clínicos y altas tasas de supervivencia.

Introduction: Male breast cancer is an infrequent pathology; it represents less than 1% of malignant breast pathology, with an average age of diagnosis of 67 years. It has a worse prognosis than female breast cancer, due to its high genetic origin and low suspicion, which leads to inadequate and late diagnosis, becoming evident in advanced stages, decreasing survival in the medium and long term.Objective: To describe the clinical case of a patient diagnosed with breast cancer, addressing the clinical presentation, diagnostic methods, oncospecific treatment, as well as the corresponding clinical and surgical evolution.Case presentation: We present a 52-year-old male patient, with evidence of exophytic lesion in right breast plus ipsilateral axillary node, with diagnosis confir-med by pathology report of breast cancer, clinical stage: cT4bN1Mx. A multidisci-plinary management is proposed, initially the patient receives neoadjuvant chemo-therapy, then undergoes a surgical procedure: radical right mastectomy. Finally, she receives oncospecific treatment in the specialties of clinical oncology and radiothe-rapy, with favorable evolution.Discussion: Male breast cancer has a low incidence compared to women, so its diagnostic suspicion is limited. In initial stages the diagnosis is unspecific due to the few clinical manifestations, but should be supported by imaging methods and confirmatory methods, an anatomopathological and immunohistochemical analy-sis, to guide oncospecific treatment. Conclusions: Male breast cancer, is an infrequent pathology with limited diagnos-tic suspicion, which requires specific multidisciplinary management. It is important to have a continuous medical follow-up of the patient, to achieve at the time of diagnosis a correct clinical and immunohistochemical staging, which allows to fo-cus on the appropriate management and treatment, with better clinical outcomes and better survival rates.

Evaluación de las conductas de lactancia materna y las prácticas de alimentación complementaria de las madres turcas y las madres refugiadas sirias / Evaluation of breastfeeding behaviors and complementary feeding practices of Turkish and Syrian refugee mothers

Objetivos: el objetivo de este estudio fue comparar la lactancia y los factores relacionados (edad, nivel educativo, edad al momento del primer embarazo, etc.) y las prácticas de alimentación complementaria de las madres refugiadas sirias y las madres turcas. Materiales y métodos: este estudio descriptivo y comparativo analizó las características nutricionales de los bebés de 9 a 60 meses de edad cuyas madres fueran turcas o refugiadas sirias que asistieron al Hospital Público de Kiziltepe entre enero y julio de 2022. Resultados: se incluyó a 204 madres (126 turcas y 78 sirias). La edad promedio de las madres turcas era 27,60 ± 5,17 años y la de las refugiadas sirias, 28,91 ± 5,62 años, sin una diferencia significativa entre ambos grupos (p: 0,091). La lactancia materna posparto fue del 91,3 % y la duración de la lactancia fue de 12 meses (0-24) en las ciudadanas turcas, mientras que, en las refugiadas sirias, fue del 84,6 % y 9 meses (0-24), respectivamente (consumo de leche materna, p: 0,144; tiempo de consumo, p: 0,161; sin diferencias estadísticas). El 23,8 % de las ciudadanas turcas y el 5,1 % de las refugiadas sirias recibieron capacitación sobre la lactancia, con una diferencia significativa entre ambos grupos (p: 0,001). Conclusión: en los grupos de refugiadas, las prácticas de nutrición infantil y materna se ven alteradas. En colaboración con las organizaciones locales e internacionales y los organismos estatales que ayudan a los grupos de refugiados se podrían mejorar las prácticas de nutrición maternoinfantil y reducir las brechas.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to compare breastfeeding and related factors (age, level of education, age at first pregnancy, etc.), and complementary feeding practices between Syrian refugee and native Turkish mothers. Material and methods: This descriptive-comparative study examined the nutritional characteristics of infants aged 9 to 60 months whose mothers were Turkish or Syrian refugees who attended Kiziltepe State Hospital between January 2022 and July 2022. Results: 204 mothers (126 Turkish and 78 Syrian) who had a child aged 9-60 months were included. The average age of the mothers was 27.60 ± 5.17 years for Turkish citizens and 28.91 ± 5.62 for Syrian refugees, without significant difference between the two groups (p: 0.091). Postpartum breastfeeding was 91.3% and breastfeeding duration was 12 (0-24) months in Turkish citizens; in Syrian refugees, breastfeeding was 84.6% and average breastfeeding time was 9 (0- 24) months (respectively, breast milk intake p: 0.144, uptake time p: 0.161; no statistical difference). Breastfeeding training was received by 23.8% of Turkish citizens and 5.1% of Syrian refugees; there was a significant difference between the two groups (p: 0.001). Conclusion: In refugee groups, infant and maternal nutrition practices are disrupted. Working in conjunction with local and international organizations and state agencies that give help to refugee groups, the appropriate interventions, initiatives, supports, and awareness-raising activities would strive to improve practices in mother and baby nutrition and narrow gaps.

Complicaciones por cirugía oncológica mamaria / Complications due to oncological breast surgery

RESUMEN Introducción: Cada año en América Latina, más de 200,000 mujeres son diagnosticadas con cáncer de mama. Como parte del tratamiento de esta enfermedad, la cirugía es uno de los pilares fundamentales. El acto quirúrgico es una experiencia extrema para el paciente y el cirujano, necesaria en esta patología para el tratamiento completo y, como todo acto médico, no está exento de complicaciones. En Paraguay no se cuentan con estadísticas sobre la prevalencia de las complicaciones debidas a cirugías por cáncer de mama, por lo que este trabajo tiene como principal objetivo establecer dicha frecuencia en un hospital de cuarto nivel de complejidad. Materiales y métodos: Estudio retrospectivo, observacional, de corte transversal. Muestreo no probabilístico de casos consecutivos. La selección de sujetos de estudios se realizó de la población de pacientes que fueron sometidos a cirugía por cáncer de mama, en el Hospital de Clínicas en el periodo enero de 2018 a agosto 2022, y que cumplan con los criterios de inclusión y exclusión. Todas las variables han sido extraídas de la ficha clínica y fueron documentadas en el formulario de registro de datos. Se esperaba una frecuencia de 42 % de complicaciones post quirúrgicas utilizando el programa estadístico EPIINFO 7 para un IC de 95% a precisión de 5%, el tamaño mínimo a incluir debía ser de 143 pacientes. Resultados: Se analizaron 203 historias clínicas de pacientes con diagnóstico de cáncer de mama que fueron sometidas a cirugía como parte del tratamiento, correspondientes al periodo comprendido entre enero de 2018 a agosto de 2022. Cumplieron con los criterios de inclusión 201 pacientes. Se registraron un total de 92 pacientes que presentaron alguna complicación relacionada a la cirugía, que corresponden 46 % del total de pacientes en el periodo de tiempo estudiado. De las complicaciones encontradas, 40 desarrollaron seromas, representando el 43% del total de pacientes con complicaciones; 18 pacientes tuvieron infección de la herida operatoria, representando el 20%. 7 pacientes presentaron dehiscencia de la herida operatoria, siendo el 7,5% del total; y 5 desarrollaron un hematoma, siendo el 5,3%. Entre otras complicaciones encontradas, 4 pacientes presentaron linfedema (4,3%), 4 dolor crónico (4,3%), 3 extrusión de prótesis mamaria (3,2 %), 2 de celulitis del miembro superior afecto (2,1%), 2 presentaron necrosis del complejo areola-pezón (2,1%), 1 sufrimiento de piel sin necrosis, 1 sufrimiento del complejo areola-pezón sin necrosis (1% ambos), 1 presentó fistula (1%), 1 disfunción del miembro superior homolateral (1%), y una contractura capsular (1%). Discusión: Se registraron 92 pacientes con una complicación post quirúrgica luego de una cirugía por cáncer de mama; representa así el 46% del total de pacientes estudiados. Esta prevalencia se corresponde con lo publicado en la literatura. En cuanto a las complicaciones encontradas, la más frecuente en nuestra revisión fue el seroma, que se presentó en un 40% de las complicaciones. Las publicaciones describen a esta como una de las complicaciones más frecuentemente relacionadas a la cirugía mamaria, con frecuencias que varían desde 18 al 86% según diversos autores. Conclusión: De 201 pacientes que cumplieron con los criterios de inclusión y exclusión, se registraron un total de 92 pacientes que presentaron alguna complicación relacionada a la cirugía, que corresponden 46 % del total de pacientes en el periodo de tiempo estudiado. La complicación más frecuente fue el seroma. Todos los hallazgos de este estudio se correlacionan con lo encontrado en la literatura.

Introduction: Every year in Latin America, more than 200,000 women are diagnosed with breast cancer. As part of the treatment of this disease, surgery is one of the fundamental pillars. The surgical act is an extreme experience for the patient and the surgeon, necessary in this pathology for complete treatment and, like any medical act, it is not exempt from complications. In Paraguay there are no statistics on the prevalence of complications due to surgeries for breast cancer, so the main objective of this work is to establish said frequency in a hospital of fourth level of complexity. Materials and methods: retrospective, observational, cross-sectional study. non-probabilistic sampling of consecutive cases. The selection of study subjects was made from the population of patients who underwent surgery for breast cancer, at the Hospital de Clínicas in the period January 2018 to August 2022, and who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. All the variables have been extracted from the clinical record and were documented in the data recording form. A frequency of 42% of post-surgical complications was expected using the statistical program EPIINFO 7 for a CI of 95% with a precision of 5%, the minimum size to include had to be 143 patients. Results: 203 medical records of patients diagnosed with breast cancer who underwent surgery as part of the treatment, corresponding to the period from January 2018 to August 2022, were analyzed. 201 patients met the inclusion criteria. A total of 92 patients who presented some complication related to surgery were registered, corresponding to 46% of the total number of patients in the period of time studied. Of the complications found, 40 developed seromas, representing 43% of all patients with complications; 18 patients had surgical wound infection, representing 20%. 7 patients presented dehiscence of the surgical wound, being 7.5% of the total; and 5 developed a hematoma, being 5.3%. Among other complications found, 4 patients presented lymphedema (4.3%), 4 chronic pain (4.3%), 3 extrusion of breast prosthesis (3.2%), 2 cellulitis of the affected upper limb (2.1%), 2 presented necrosis of the nipple-areola complex (2.1%), 1 suffering from skin without necrosis, 1 suffering from the nipple-areola complex without necrosis (1% both), 1 presented fistula (1%), 1 homolateral upper limb dysfunction (1%), and capsular contracture (1%). Discussion: 92 patients with a post-surgical complication after surgery for breast cancer were registered; thus represents 46% of all patients studied. This prevalence corresponds to what has been published in the literature. Regarding the complications found, the most frequent in our review was seroma, which occurred in 40% of the complications. The publications describe this as one of the complications most frequently related to breast surgery, with frequencies ranging from 18 to 86% according to various authors. Conclusion: Of 201 patients who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria, a total of 92 patients who presented some complication related to surgery were registered, corresponding to 46% of the total number of patients in the period of time studied. The most frequent complication was seroma. All the findings of this study correlate with what is found in the literature.

Cáncer de mama en coraza en hombre: un caso poco frecuente

El cáncer de mama en coraza constituye una de las formas clínicas de presentación de las metástasis cutáneas del cáncer mamario. Es de aparición poco frecuente, sobre todo, en el sexo masculino. Se presenta el caso de un paciente de sexo masculino, de 74 años de edad, de color de piel negra, con antecedente de diabetes e hipertensión arterial que acudió a consulta de mastología provincial por presentar desde hacía algunos meses dolor discreto y unas lesiones pruriginosas en la mama derecha. Además de otros exámenes se le realizó biopsia escisional de pequeño fragmento de la lesión con estudio por parafina que informó metástasis cutánea de un carcinoma mamario en coraza según su forma de presentación clínica. Se muestra el caso porque no se localizó ninguna publicación en la provincia Cienfuegos ni en el país de un caso en el sexo masculino, por lo cual se considera de interés para el personal médico la publicación de este reporte.

The case of a 74-year-old male patient with black skin color, with a history of diabetes and high blood pressure, who attended a provincial mastology consultation for a few months of mild pain and pruritic lesions on his neck, is presented the right breast. In addition to other examinations, an excisional biopsy of a small fragment of the lesion was performed with a paraffin study, which reported cutaneous metastasis of a shell breast carcinoma according to its clinical presentation. The case is shown because no publication was found in the province of Cienfuegos or in the country of a male case, which is why the publication of this report is considered of interest to medical personnel.
