Rastreamento oportunístico do câncer de mama entre mulheres jovens no Estado do Maranhão, Brasil

Abstract: Apesar de infrequente, o câncer de mama em mulheres com menos de 40 anos merece destaque, pois o diagnóstico exige alto índice de suspeição clínica; assim, as práticas preventivas devem ser valorizadas entre mulheres em idade fértil com o rastreamento oportunístico configurando-se em estratégia relevante na abordagem às mulheres.

“…At present, breast cancer is the second most common cancer in the world, with more than 1.6 million new cases, behind lung cancer, and is considered relatively rare in patients under 40 years of age. However, estimates indicate that approximately 7% of the cases of this cancer are detected in young women 4 , matching the data obtained in this study. The increase in the number of breast cancer cases in young women may be related to a number of factors, including changes in living standards -particularly urbanization, with the insertion of women into the labor market -pregnancies later in life, changes in eating habits, among others 5 .…”

In general, they are triple-negative or HER2-positive type tumors and their treatments are poorly responsive to treatment 6 .…”

“…Destaca-se ainda que o reforço nas ações educativas de incentivo a autopalpação das mamas se mostra ainda mais importante diante da dificuldade no acesso à mamografia em algumas regiões do Brasil, como retratado em um estudo realizado no estado do Maranhão, onde 45% das mulheres com idade superior a 34 anos realizavam AEM, e a maioria (75,6%) nunca havia se submetido a um exame mamográfico 25 .…”

“…Quando comparado com os dados deste estudo, há uma confluência, visto que 40% (36) dos pescadores entrevistados cursaram o ensino fundamental incompleto. A baixa escolaridade encontrada no estudo constitui uma possível barreira na iniquidade de acesso às informações e prevenção sobre saúde (11) .…”
