Correlación entre BIRADS en mamografías y el resultado histopatológico en pacientes con cáncer de mama en el Hospital de Especialidades Dr. Teodoro Maldonado Carbo.

Abstract

Breast cancer is one of the most frequent neoplastic pathologies in the female sex, early detection and timely diagnosis have been a priority for public health, managing to reduce mortality from the disease. OBJECTIVE: To correlate the BIRADS of the mammographic study with the histopathological result in patients with breast cancer. MATERIALS: The IESS AS400 database was used. The data was processed in the IBM SPSS program. METHODOLOGY: This study is non-experimental, retrospective, observational/descriptive. POPULATION: Patients with breast cancer from 2018 to 2022. RESULTS: 37.5% of the population was classified with BIRADS 2, followed by 29% who presented a BIRADS 0. 34% presented histopathological changes indicative of neoplasms; in the calculation of the Chi square, the asymptotic significance was positive for the BIRADS relationship and histopathological result. 93% of the cases did not present recurrence. 49% of the patients at least 2 pregnancies and 80% used hormonal contraceptives. The age group with the highest number of cases was 51 to 55 years. CONCLUSIONS: The higher the BIRADS, the higher the probability of malignancy in the histopathological study; nulliparity was not a risk factor, while the use of hormonal contraceptives was one of the main risk factors.
