Abstract

TENORIO-TORRES, Juan Alberto et al. Association between telorragia and breast cancer in a high concentration medical unit. Ginecol. obstet. Méx. [online]. 2018, vol.86, n.12, pp.804-809.  Epub Sep 30, 2020. ISSN 0300-9041.  https://doi.org/10.24245/gom.v86i12.2308.

OBJECTIVE:

To determine the association between telorragia and breast cancer in a Mexican population in a highly concentrated Medical Unit.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:

Observational, retrospective, analytical study in patients with telorragia treated at FUCAM from January 2007 to December 2016. Proportion calculation and a "node type" sub-analysis were carried out, between telorragia plus nodule versus telorragia alone, by means of χ2, relative risk, and 95% confidence interval with statistical package SPSS 23.0.

RESULTS:

169 patients were studied, 42 of them presented a definitive diagnosis of breast cancer. The telorragia was associated in 24.8% to cancer, and when it was associated with nodule the probability of malignancy was 63%. When comparing the subgroups with more nodule vs telorrhagia alone, an OR of 4.2 was found for the first group (95% CI 2.5-6.8, p <0.001).

CONCLUSIONS:

This study showed that the probability of malignancy in cases of telorrhagia alone in the Mexican population in a referral hospital is in the high range in relation to the historical world, and is associated with a nodule, the probability is significantly higher.
