RESUMO
Neste trabalho, medimos o impacto da avaliação do risco de mutações dos genes BRCA1/2 na qualidade de vida (QV) de pacientes (pts) com câncer de mama, avaliada pelos questionários EORTC QLQ-C30 e QLQ-BR23. Convidamos 282 pts a participar, respondendo aos questionários antes e depois da avaliação do risco pelos métodos de Frank, Evans e BRCAPRO. Consideramos risco elevado pelo menos 10 por cento. 272 foram incluídas e 198 completaram o estudo. Nas 180 avaliáveis, não detectamos alterações significativas da QV. Classificamos 45 como risco elevado por Frank, 35 pelo BRCAPRO e 21 por Evans, 12 pelos 3 métodos. Concluímos que pts com câncer de mama desejam ser informadas quanto ao seu risco de câncer hereditário e que a avaliação não causa stress adicional. Instrumentos locais de mensuração de risco são também desejáveis...
ABSTRACT
Here we evaluated the impact of breast cancer hereditary cancer risk evaluation on the quality of life (QOL) in a population of breast cancer patients (pts), as measured by the EORTC questionnaires QLQ-C30 and QLQ-BR23. Of the 282 invited pts, 272 agree to participate and answered QLQ before and after the risk determination by Frank, Evans and BRCAPRO methods. High risk was defined as at least 10 per cent. Overall 198 pts completed the study. In the 180 evaluable pts., we did not detected significant differences in QOL. There were 45 pts classified as high risk by Frank, 35 by the BRCAPRO and 21 by Evans, agreement being reached in 12. We conclude that pts wish to know about their hereditary breast cancer risk, and this do not cause necessarily more stress. Apart from that, there is a need for local methods of risk calculation...
