“…Approximately 16% of patients diagnosed with breast cancer report a first-degree relative affected by the same condition 17 . The data from our study showed a positive family history of breast cancer in 17.0% of the cases, numbers that are in agreement with other studies, such as Barboza et al, in which 1,176 Brazilian patients were analyzed, and most had no cases of breast cancer in the family 26 . The positive family history of breast cancer in a minority of cases does not justify screening based on this circumstance by itself, requiring more careful risk assessment.…”

Introduction: Breast cancer is associated with high frequency and mortality in Brazilian women. There have been limited studies portraying the characteristics of breast cancer cases in the countryside of the state of Minas Gerais for a long period of time, a fact that will allow us to better understand the epidemiology of these tumors. This descriptive study aims to analyze the epidemiology and clinical features of patients with breast cancer treated at a public health service facility in Lavras, MG. Methods: This is a transversal study with 299 women diagnosed with breast cancer between 2002 and 2022, based on data collection from medical records and subsequent descriptive analysis. Results: There were a total of 317 cases, and 299 were eligible for the study. The mean age at diagnosis was 54.2 years, and 36.1% of the patients were under 50 years old at diagnosis. Positive family history was found in 17.0% of the patients. The diagnosis was made by clinical alteration detected on physical examination in 71.5% of cases, and lump was the most frequent type of lesion (89.0%). Invasive carcinoma was 93.1% of the cases, and the mean tumor size was 28.6 mm. The average time between first medical appointment and diagnosis was 63.2 days, and between diagnosis and beginning of treatment was 39.6 days. Conclusions: This study showed that a significant number of cases occurred in women outside the recommended age for screening in Brazil. Diagnosis was predominantly performed by clinical examination, with delays in obtaining the histological diagnosis, and the stage at diagnosis was high, and these facts were associated with the health system limitations. KEYWORDS: breast neoplasm; age groups; cancer screening.

“…Em relação ao perfil sociodemográfico, a maioria dos artigos evidenciou pacientes com o ensino fundamental incompleto (SANTOS et al, 2019;LIMA, et al, 2020). Segundo a literatura, quanto menor o nível de escolaridade, menor é a chance de diagnóstico precoce, o que leva a dificuldades no tratamento curativo, pois pacientes com menor índice de escolaridade apresentam associação com menor índice socioeconômico gerando dificuldade ao acesso médico (BARBOZA et al, 2017).…”

“…É controversa a associação do uso de álcool e o risco de desenvolver câncer de mama, especialmente os de baixas doses hormonais, entretanto quando associado à obesidade, existe maior potencial para desenvolver a doença (BARBOZA et al, 2017;SANTOS et al, 2019).…”

“…Em relação aos fatores endócrinos, a maioria das pacientes apresentava obesidade ou sobrepeso (MURADAS et al, 2015;ROCHA et al, 2018;SANTOS et al, 2019), ou seja, quando o índice de massa corpórea (IMC) é superior ou igual a 35 kg/m2 existe maior risco para o desenvolvimento de câncer de mama e pior prognóstico da doença (DAL BELLO et al, 2018) Foi encontrada uma pequena porcentagem de pacientes que possuíam familiares com histórico de câncer de mama no estudo realizado em um centro de referência em saúde para mulheres, na qual apenas 14,4% das pacientes possuíam casos na família, esse resultado é consoante com o de outras pesquisas como de Barboza. et al, (2017), que foram analisados 1.176 prontuários e a maior parte não tinha casos de neoplasia da mama na família (MAGALHÃES et al, 2017).…”

“…Cerca de nove em cada dez casos de neoplasia mamária ocorrem em mulheres sem histórico na família (ROCHA et al, 2018), ou seja, apesar dos estudos analisados não ter grande influência o histórico familiar, ele pode aumentar em até duas vezes o risco para doença, por conta das alterações nos genes BCRA1 e BCRA2, que passam entre as gerações aumentando a susceptibilidade ao câncer de mama (ITO et al, 2017;BARBOZA et al, 2017).…”

RESUMOA crise epiléptica é uma doença neurológica frequente na infância, com um potencial de gravidade considerável, podendo gerar sérias consequências ao estado de saúde do paciente, além de ser um agravo muito presente nas emergências, necessitando de uma análise mais detalhada. No entanto, ainda não existem dados confiáveis sobre a incidência e prevalência da epilepsia no Brasil devido às variações epidemiológicas dadas por sua dimensão continental. Esse estudo tem como objetivo analisar o número de internações por epilepsia em crianças e em adolescentes, nos últimos 10 anos, no território brasileiro. Os dados para a realização do trabalho foram obtidos por meio do DATASUS. No período de janeiro de 2010 a junho de 2020, foram detectados 224.411 casos de internações por epilepsia no Brasil, com números mais relevantes nas regiões Nordeste e Sudeste. Diante do exposto, é válido analisar a grande disparidade no número de internações por região, sendo notória a necessidade de uma maior investigação a respeito da exorbitante disparidade existente entre esses dados e da existência de fatores de risco regionais que contribuam para essa diferença. Portanto, essa avaliação faz-se necessária para que haja melhorias na compreensão das desigualdades regionais e criação de propostas referentes a melhores abordagens no Sistema Único de Saúde. Palavras-chave: Crise epiléptica, Região e Brasil.

Objective: In Brazil, the characteristics of breast cancer patients who arrive at cancer treatment services are influenced by conditions related to the tumor, to the diagnostic system and navigation in the phase prior to care, with regional differences being little known as well as their seasonal variation. Methods: This is a retrospective study of epidemiological data of patients with breast cancer treated at the Hospital do Câncer de Muriaé (HCM), an exclusively oncology hospital (CACON II), with primarily public care, a reference for cancer treatment in the east of Zona da Mata region, Minas Gerais. Clinical and care-related characteristics were evaluated from 2010 to 2021. Results: During this period, 4,573 new patients were treated. The care was primarily public (80.5%) and most patients were undiagnosed (45.7%) or untreated (71.8%) at the first visit. The patients were between 40 and 69 years old (70.2%) and a significant portion were between 70 and 74 years old (7.4%). The rate of early stage (clinical stage – CS 0 + I) represented only 33.9 and 25.8% of all patients and those treated exclusively in the hospital, respectively. There was no change in clinical stage and age group over the years. Conclusion: When evaluating epidemiological data, the characteristics of the service and the pre-institutional diagnostic care network should be analyzed, facts that influence the results. Throughout the period, there was no great variation in relation to age group and staging. In this region, the early stage of breast cancer has unsatisfactory rates, and the 70 to 74 age group should be considered in mammographic screening. Epidemiological studies are essential to improve health strategies.
