Abstract

Introduction: According to Nuñez et al. In a study with data on deaths from breast cancer according to INEC, age-adjusted mortality rates increased from 10.5 deaths per 100,000 women/year in 2001 to 12.9 deaths per 100,000 women/year in 2016. The objective of this thesis was to describe the characterization of estrogen-dependent breast cancer in adult women. Materials and methods: This study was descriptive, observational, retrospective and cross-sectional, it was carried out in women over 18 years of old who presented estrogendependent breast cancer from January 2019 to December 2022 at the Hospital Guayaquil Abel Gilbert Pontón. Results: 15.79 % presented estrogen-dependent breast cancer with an average age of 52.7 years. The high-fat diet (n=13;15.3%) and axillary adenopathy (n=29;34.1%) were the most prevalent of the habits and characteristics of the population, respectively. There were more cases of HER/NEU positive breast cancer (n=70;82.4%). About the Charlson index, 100% of those with a score of 4 or 6 died, with significant values, p=0.001. The most frequent treatment was surgical (n=73;85.9%). Conclusions: An average of 52.7 years predominated, the dietary style of high-fat foods prevailed, and axillary adenopathy occurred a lot in these patients. Most cases were HER/NEU positive. There was a higher percentage of deaths with high scores on the Charlson index. Breast surgery still stands out as the most trending therapy.
