AGE GROUP OF 11.323 BREAST CANCER PATIENTES TREATED FROM JANUARY 2011 TO DECEMBER 2019 AT PEROLA BYINGTON HOSPITAL

Introdução

According to estimates by the Ministry of Health, in 2021 we will have more than 65,000 cases of breast cancer in Brazil. The predominance of advanced cases in the single health system results from the long time for diagnosis and treatment of patients and, consequently, a higher mortality rate .There is a lack of data on the age of our patients to establish an adequate coping strategy disease and thus reduce mortality in our country. The Ministry of Health recommends mammography from the age of 50. The Brazilian Society of Mastology (SBM), on the other hand, recommends exams starting at 40 - before that, only for groups at risk.
In 2018, there were 2.1 million new cases, equivalent to 11.6% of all estimated cancers. This value corresponds to an estimated risk of 55.2 / 100 thousand. The highest expected incidence rates were in Australia and New Zealand, Northern European countries and Western Europe.
Regardless of the country's socioeconomic condition, the incidence of this cancer ranks among the top positions of female malignancies. On the other hand, there has been a decline in the trend in incidence rates in some developed countries, partly attributed to the decrease in hormone replacement treatment in postmenopausal women.

Objetivos

This paper aims to describe the age group of 11,323 women treated for breast cancer by the Unified Health System (SUS) at the Pérola Byington Hospital from January 2011 to December 2019.

Métodos

A hospital-based observational cross-sectional study was carried out, in which the eligible population consisted of 11,323 patients with breast cancer treated by the Unified Health System at the Pérola Byington Hospital whose data were registered in the data collection system of that hospital. Women under the age of 20 years up to over 80 years were selected.

Resultados

A predominance of the diagnosis was observed in women aged 50 to 59 years (27.91%), followed by patients aged 40 to 49 years (23.90%) and by patients aged 60 to 69 years (22.26% ). Women under the age of 20 were diagnosed in 0.06% of cases and over 80 years of age in 4.75%.

Conclusões

The diagnosis of breast cancer in women under 40 years of age is rare, representing around 10% of all registered cases. But, when it occurs in this age group, the disease tends to be more aggressive, being questioned from what age the screening test should be performed.
