In Uruguay, breast cancer has the highest incidence and mortality of all cancer in women. Knowledge of the distribution of risk factors related to disease development supports the implementation of prevention strategies in routine clinical practice. This study aimed to determine the epidemiological profile for breast cancer and the frequency of mammographic surveillance in the surveyed population.
A survey was conducted among Uruguayan women diagnosed with breast cancer who were assisted in the mastology unit of the oncology service of the Hospital de Clínicas in Montevideo, Uruguay, from September 1, 2018, to March 1, 2020.
This study included 398 respondents, with a median (SD) age at diagnosis of 61 (34-86) years. A total of 310 respondents (78.0%) had 1 or more risk factors. Most women aged over 50 years (264 out of a total of 338 [78.1%]) underwent mammographic surveillance at least biennially.
Consistent with international reports, most respondents had a risk factor. Among the group of respondents aged over 50 years, most underwent mammographic and clinical surveillance at least biennially. Although it is only possible to formulate conclusions about the surveyed women because of the study design, the obtained data further our understanding of the epidemiological profile of the Uruguayan population, which can contribute to prevention practices.
在乌拉圭，乳腺癌在女性所有癌症中的发病率和死亡率最高。了解与疾病发展相关的危险因素分布情况有助于在日常临床实践中实施预防策略。本研究旨在确定乳腺癌的流行病学特征以及被调查人群中乳房X线筛查的频率。
对2018年9月1日至2020年3月1日期间在乌拉圭蒙得维的亚市临床医院肿瘤服务乳腺科接受治疗的被诊断为乳腺癌的乌拉圭女性进行了一项调查。
本研究纳入了398名受访者，诊断时的年龄中位数（标准差）为61（34 - 86）岁。共有310名受访者（78.0%）有1种或更多危险因素。大多数50岁以上的女性（338名中的264名[78.1%]）至少每两年接受一次乳房X线筛查。
与国际报告一致，大多数受访者有危险因素。在50岁以上的受访者群体中，大多数至少每两年接受一次乳房X线和临床筛查。尽管由于研究设计，只能对被调查女性得出结论，但所获得的数据加深了我们对乌拉圭人群流行病学特征的理解，这有助于预防实践。
