Resumo: | Introduction: The high mortality rate of breast cancer in Brazil is closely associated with the delay in the investigation of suspicious lesions and the lack of a timely therapy care. Objective: To investigate aspects related to delay in diagnosis and treatment. Method: An observational, epidemiological, descriptive, cross-sectional study. Originally 54 patients admitted for research at the Mastology Department of Pernambuco Cancer Hospital (Hospital de Câncer de Pernambuco) were interviewed. Among them, 25 were positive for breast cancer, constituting the research’s universe. Results: The main age group was comprised of patients between 60 and 79 years old (48%). Most of them were diagnosed with advanced stage (72%), and at least three months after symptoms onset (64%). The diagnosis was confirmed in less than 30 days (88.9% of cases), but the beginning of treatment exceeded 60 days in 56.6% of cases. Conclusion: It was observed that there was a delay in diagnosis and treatment introduction, which is related to patient’s characteristics, health professionals and services as well. |

Objetivo: Caracterizar el perfil demográfico de los pacientes en el Hospital de Cáncer de Pernambuco e investigar los aspectos relacionados a la demora del diagnóstico y del tratamiento. Método: Estudio epidemiológico observacional, descriptivo, transversal. 54 pacientes admitidos para ser investigados en el departamento de mastología del Hospital de Cáncer de Pernambuco fueron entrevistados por primera vez; de los cuales 25 resultaron positivos para cáncer de mama, constituyéndose así el universo de la investigación. Resultados: El mayor grupo estaba compuesto con pacientes entre 60 y 79 años (48%). La mayoría se encontraba en estadio avanzado (72%) y, tres meses después de la aparición de los síntomas, (64%). El diagnóstico fue confirmado en menos de 30 días (88,9% de los casos); sin embargo, el inicio del tratamiento excede a 60 días en el 56,6% de los casos. Conclusión: Se demostró que había un retraso en el diagnóstico y en inicio del tratamiento. Esto está distribuido en los diferentes niveles de atención a la salud y posee aspectos relacionadas a las características de las usuarias, profesionales y los servicios de saludIntrodução: A alta mortalidade por câncer de mama no Brasil está intimamente associada ao retardo na investigação das lesões suspeitas e na instituição oportuna da terapêutica. Objetivo: Investigar os aspectos relacionados ao atraso no diagnóstico e tratamento das pacientes com câncer de mama. Método: Estudo epidemiológico observacional, descritivo, de corte transversal. Foram inicialmente entrevistadas 54 pacientes admitidas para investigação no departamento de mastologia do Hospital de Câncer de Pernambuco; destas, 25 resultaram positivas para câncer de mama se constituindo no universo da pesquisa. Resultados: A faixa etária mais representada foi das pacientes entre 60 e 79 anos (48%). A maioria se apresentava em estádios avançados (72%) e após, pelo menos, três meses do início dos sintomas (64%). O diagnóstico foi confirmado em menos de 30 dias (88,9% dos casos); porém o início do tratamento excedeu os 60 dias em 56,6% dos casos. Conclusão: Demonstrou-se que, para a maior parte das pacientes, há atraso no estabelecimento do diagnóstico e início do tratamento. Este se distribui nos diversos níveis de atenção à saúde e possui aspectos relacionados tanto às usuárias, como aos profissionais e aos serviços de saúde.INCA2015-03-31info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionArtigos, Avaliado pelos paresapplication/pdfhttps://rbc.inca.gov.br/index.php/revista/article/view/37410.32635/2176-9745.RBC.2015v61n1.374Revista Brasileira de Cancerologia; Vol. 61 No. 1 (2015): Jan./Feb./Mar.; 23-30Revista Brasileira de Cancerologia; Vol. 61 Núm. 1 (2015): enero/feb./marzo; 23-30Revista Brasileira de Cancerologia; v. 61 n. 1 (2015): jan./fev./mar.; 23-302176-9745reponame:Revista Brasileira de Cancerologia (Online)instname:Instituto Nacional de Câncer José Alencar Gomes da Silva (INCA)instacron:INCAporhttps://rbc.inca.gov.br/index.php/revista/article/view/374/244Paiva, Christiano José Kühl deCesse, Eduarda Ângela Pessoainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2021-11-29T20:09:11Zoai:rbc.inca.gov.br:article/374Revistahttps://rbc.inca.gov.br/index.php/revistaPUBhttps://rbc.inca.gov.br/index.php/revista/oairbc@inca.gov.br0034-71162176-9745opendoar:2021-11-29T20:09:11Revista Brasileira de Cancerologia (Online) - Instituto Nacional de Câncer José Alencar Gomes da Silva (INCA)false |
