CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE: It has been suggested that there has been a large increase in breast cancer incidence among young women over the last decade. The aim of this study was to describe the incidence of breast cancer among young women up to 39 years of age in Goiânia, between 1988 and 2003, and to compare this with other age groups. DESIGN AND SETTING: Retrospective study using the database of the Population-b...
Due to the highly glycolytic metabolism of solid tumours, there is an increased acid production, however, cells are able to maintain physiological pH through plasma membrane efflux of the accumulating protons. Acid efflux through MCTs (monocarboxylate transporters) constitutes one of the most important mechanisms involved in tumour intracellular pH maintenance. Still, the molecular mechanisms underlying the reg...
CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE: Modified radical mastectomy is widely utilized in breast cancer treatment. However, no prospective comparison has yet been made between the Madden technique (preservation of the pectoralis minor muscle) and the Patey technique (resection of this muscle). The aim of this work was to compare these two modified radical mastectomy techniques, by analyzing their degrees of difficulty and compl...
Hybrid capture is an easy and highly sensitive technique for screening population due to its capacity to detect malignant and premalignant lesions of the cervix. To evaluate its ensitivity, we investigated the frequency of high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and its correlation with glandular malignant lesions, analyzing a total of 113 cases of adenocarcinomas and related lesions. High-risk HPV was ...
Objetivo: avaliar a taxa de linfedema em pacientes tratadas cirurgicamente para câncer de mama e sua relação com o tipo de cirurgia, idade e peso das pacientes. Métodos: foram estudadas 109 pacientes portadoras de câncer de mama, submetidas à mastectomia radical modificada com conservação do músculo peitoral maior ou de ambos os peitorais. Considerou-se como linfedema quando houve diferença maior que 2,0 cm ent...
O carcinoma espinocelular do parênquima mamário é um tipo raro de neoplasia, representando menos de 1% de todos os carcinomas mamários. Esse trabalho relata a condução de um caso diagnosticado e tratado no Serviço de Ginecologia e Mama do Hospital Araújo Jorge/ACCG. São discutidos a apresentação clínica, o diagnóstico e o prognóstico destes tumores.
Estudo conduzido com o objetivo de avaliar a confiabilidade, acurácia e dificuldades do exame de congelação, utilizando-se pequenos fragmentos de tumores mamários obtidos com a biópsia histológica por agulha grossa (bioptycut). Durante 13 meses, 37 pacientes foram submetidas ao Bioptycut (pistola BIP 2.2 ou Promag 1.2, agulhas l4G), sendo que, de cada uma delas, foram retirados no mínimo dois fragmentos, um a f...
