RESUMO

Resumo Objetivo: Avaliar o impacto do uso da ressonância magnética (RM) no estadiamento pré-operatório do câncer de mama. Materiais e Métodos: Foram avaliadas 61 pacientes com carcinoma mamário submetidas a RM das mamas, no período de agosto de 2015 a abril de 2016. Um mastologista foi questionado sobre a conduta terapêutica indicada diante dos dados da paciente e dos exames convencionais e, após realização da RM, foi novamente questionado sobre a conduta para determinar se houve mudança e impacto no tratamento. Resultados: A média de idade das pacientes foi 50,8 anos (desvio-padrão: 12,0), o tipo histológico mais frequente foi carcinoma mamário invasivo tipo não especial (68,9%) e o imunofenótipo mais prevalente foi luminal B (45,9%). A RM das mamas mudou a conduta terapêutica em 23% dos casos, com impacto positivo em 82,7%. Conclusão: A RM das mamas é instrumento útil no estadiamento locorregional do câncer de mama, sendo capaz de adicionar informações que tenham impacto positivo no tratamento.Abstract Objective: To assess the impact of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) on the locoregional staging of breast cancer. Materials and Methods: We evaluated 61 patients with breast cancer who underwent pre-treatment breast MRI, between August 2015 and April 2016. An experienced breast surgeon determined the surgical treatment, on the basis of the findings of conventional imaging examinations, and made a subsequent treatment recommendation based on the MRI findings, then determining whether the MRI changed the approach, as well as whether it had a positive or negative impact on the treatment. Results: The mean age was 50.8 years (standard deviation, 12.0 years). The most common histological type was invasive breast carcinoma of no special type (in 68.9%), and the most common molecular subtype was luminal B (in 45.9%). Breast MRI modified the therapeutic management in 23.0% of the cases evaluated, having a positive impact in 82.7%. Conclusion: Breast MRI is an useful tool for the locoregional staging of breast cancer, because it provides useful information that can have a positive impact on patient treatment.
