Abstract

We developed a retrospective, interventionist, transversal study, with the objective of identifying the most frequently diagnosed Mamma Cancers in the Provincial Consultation of Mamma Cancer at the Hospital José Ramón López Tabranes of Matanzas, during 2009. The universe was 305 women assisting the consultation with possible mammary pathologies. Data were collected from the records of the Statistic Department of the hospital. They were grouped by age. The ultrasound diagnosis was compared with the mammographic and histological ones. Our sample were 114 women with nodules suspected of mamma cancer diagnosed using the before mentioned studies. We decided surgical treatment in patients with positive cytologies and metastasis found in CT. The highest percent of studied patients were in the age group from 31 to 49 years old. There was a predominance of hypoechoic nodules in ultrasound studies, and spiculated nodules with axillary adenopathies in mammographic studies. The most frequent diagnosis of mammographic studies was duct infiltrating carcinomas. The highest percent was subject for mastectomy. Axillary ganglion and bone metastasis were observed more frequently in CT made in operated patients.
