RESUMEN
Objetivos: caracterizar el perfil sociodemográfico y clínico de mujeres con cáncer de mama tratadas en la Unidad Oncológica del Hospital Federico Lleras Acosta de Ibagué entre 2005 y 2009, e identificar tiempos de atención. Metodología: estudio descriptivo retrospectivo con selección de 308 historias clínicas, recolección de variables en un instrumento elaborado y análisis estadístico con el programa spss. Resultados: predominante el grupo de 45 a 64 años, casadas, provenientes de zonas urbanas, edad promedio de menarquia de 13 años, al menos 3 gestas y postmenopáusicas. El tipo histológico canalicular infiltrante fue el más frecuente, así como el estadio IIIB. La mastectomía radical modificada fue la elección quirúrgica predominante, al igual que la quimioterapia pre y postoperatoria y la radioterapia postoperatoria. En los tiempos de atención se evidenciaron demoras en el ingreso e inicio del tratamiento. Conclusión: un bajo porcentaje de carcinoma in situ y mayor proporción de estadio IV respecto a países desarrollados. Una alta proporción de abandono en controles postratamiento y fallas en seguimiento de casos, así como los hallazgos en tiempos de atención plantean la necesidad de correctivos institucionales para mejorar la calidad del servicio de salud en cáncer de mama.
ABSTRACT
Objectives: to characterize the clinical and sociodemographic profiles of women with breast cancer treated at the Oncology Unit of the Federico Lleras Acosta Hospital in Ibagué, Colombia between 2005 and 2009, and to identify service times. Methodology: a retrospective descriptive study in which 308 records were selected. Variables were collected using an instrument developed by the authors. The statistical analysis was conducted using the SPSS software. Results: the predominant age group was 45 to 64 years old. Additionally, 57.8% of these women were married. Similarly, most of them were from urban areas. The average age of menarche was 13 years. Half of the participants had been pregnant at least 3 times, and most of them were in the postmenopausal stage of their lives. The most frequent histological type was the infiltrating ductal one, as well as stage IIIB. The predominant surgical choices were modified radical mastectomy, pre- and post-operative chemotherapy, and postoperative radiotherapy. As for service times, there were delays in the admission to the oncology unit and treatment initiation. Conclusion: there was a low rate of carcinoma in situ and a high proportionof stage IV carcinoma in comparison to other studies fromdeveloped countries. The high rates of abandonment in posttreatment follow-up, the shortcomings in case monitoring,and the findings concerning service times suggest the needfor institutional corrective measures in order to improve thequality of the healthcare service in breast cancer patients.
