“…Como esperado, mulheres que apresentam histórico familiar de câncer de mama demonstram maior probabilidade de realizar exame de mamografia, quando comparadas a mulheres que não apresentam este fator de risco 15,16 . Apenas 55% das mulheres avaliadas realizaram mamografia previamente, evidenciando possíveis falhas no acesso ao rastreamento e consequente retardo no diagnóstico do câncer de mama nessa região.…”

“…Several studies have demonstrated a relationship between breast cancer and other cancer cases in the family, with the prevalence of cancer cases ranging from 5 to 10.0 % [ 8 , 9 , 13 , 31 , 32 ]. The prevalence of a family history of cancer was high in the present study (33.3 %) with a predominance of sporadic cases.…”

“…These syndromes are estimated to correspond to about 5–10 % of cancer cases in the general population [ 4 , 5 ]. An elevated risk of breast cancer in first- and second-degree relatives of patients with an apparently sporadic cancer has been reported in various population studies [ 4 , 6 – 8 ]. Genetic factors predisposing to hereditary cancer are believed to be responsible for 5.0–7.0 % of all cases of breast cancer.…”

BackgroundFamilial cancer includes some types of cancer aggregation without a well-defined inheritance pattern. Cancer genetics is an essential component of clinical practice in oncology. In Brazil, breast cancer is the leading cause of death in women. In Maranhão, studies on genetic predisposition are necessary to investigate the incidence and mortality rates. The aim of this study was to investigate familial cancer among relatives of women who died of breast cancer in São Luís, Brazil, constructing a pedigree to identify families with a hereditary predisposition, an important step in the early diagnosis of malignant tumors.MethodsThe city of São Luís is located on the Island of Maranhão, northeastern Brazil, with a population of 997,098 inhabitants mainly comprising blacks and mulattoes, including descendants of runaway slaves from the Amazon region itself. Data for pedigree construction were obtained from the records of 54 patients seen at the Aldenora Bello Institute of Oncology, São Luís, between 2000 and 2007, as well as by interview with relatives of the patients.ResultsThe mean patient age at diagnosis was 39.5 years. Most women were mulattoes (36/54, 66.6 %). A history of cancer was observed in 18 families, with 16 families possessing cases of cancer among first-degree relatives and five among second-degree relatives.ConclusionA concentration of cancer cases was found in families of patients diagnosed until the age of 40, a finding demonstrating the importance of a family history prior to genetic counseling.

“…Em um estudo realizado entre mulheres com diagnóstico de câncer, a realização de mamografia foi 28,1% maior (p<0,001) entre as mulheres que tinham parentes com câncer da mama do que aquelas mulheres que não tinham histórico na família. (SOUZA et al, 1998) No estudo de Roetzheim, Fox e Leake (1994), o histórico familiar positivo para câncer da mama não influenciou na aderência aos métodos de rastreamento.…”
