Successive bilateral breast cancer
Cáncer de mama bilateral sucesivo
Resumen:
A total of 921 breast cancers were studied in the "Hospital de Clínicas" during a 20-year period, since 1953 until 1973. The incidence found far the simultaneous bilateral breast- cancer was 0,65 %, while the incidence for the successive bilateral cancer was 1,3 %. Histopathologic studies showed that in most cases tumors in both breasts were different from each other.The second tumor occurred on the average 12 months after treatment of the first, and they generally arrived at the hospital in a more advanced evolutive stage. Based upon these data, behaviour to be observed concerning the remnant breast after radical mastectomy is analyzed, and it is found that prophylactic contralateral mastectomy is not justified.
Se estudian los cánceres bilaterales de mama del Hospital de Clínicas en un período de 20 años -entre 1953 y 1973- comprobándose una incidencia de 0.65 % para el. bilateral simultáneo y 1.3 % para el bilateral sucesivo, sobre un totalde 921 cánceres mamarios registrados en ese lapso.Los estudios histopatológicos mostraron que en la mayoría de los casos, los tumores de ambas mamas eran diferentes entre sí. La aparición del segundo tumor ocurrió por término medio unos 12 meses luego de tratado el primera y en general llegó a la consulta en un estadio evolutivo más avanzado. En base a estos datos se considera laconducta con la mama remanente luego de mastectomía radical y se conclu,ye que no está justificada la mastectomía profiláctica contralateral.
