Câncer gástrico em Passo Fundo-RS: relação entre dados clínicos e patológicos

Abstract

Abstract: Rationale for the study: Stomach cancer is the sixth highest incidence and the fifth leading cause of cancer death in the world. One of the main factors for stomach carcinoma to have high death rates is late diagnosis. Nonspecific symptoms contribute to late diagnosis. Objective: The present study aimed to evaluate local and grade variables of stomach carcinomas and to correlate them with clinical and pathological data in Passo Fundo - RS. Methods: Patients diagnosed with stomach carcinoma who underwent biopsy or surgical resection in the period 2009-2018, whose data are stored in the Pathology Sector of the São Vicente de Paulo Hospital - Passo Fundo / RS. Data collection occurred from the research database of the laboratory of the respective hospital, where patients have identification of their samples in the form of registration numbers. These collected data were stored in a freely distributed spreadsheet, observing the inclusion criteria. Results: It was found a pathological clinical profile of patients diagnosed in the Pathology Sector of the São Vicente de Paulo Hospital of Passo Fundo-RS: Men, aged between 61 and 70 years old, with an average age of approximately 64 years, with adenocarcinomas of cardia. Conclusion: Only the variable gender fully agrees with national and international trends. Age of diagnosis has a larger age range, the most prevalent histological type (adenocarcinoma) agrees with trends but other histologies do not, location does not agree with national references but agrees with trends for the future.
