Abstract

Breast cancer is a physically and psychologically complex disease.
Several genetic, sociocultural and hormone factors have an impact on its development, which makes it necessary to know the sociodemographic and clinical characteristics of women with breast cancer.
Objectives: to determine the sociodemographic and clinical characteristics of cancer surviving women and women newly diagnosed with breast cancer and to identify differences between groups.
Material and methods: a multicenter, descriptive and analytical study in women with breast cancer. Group A: diagnosis in 2008 (228). Group B: diagnosis in 2004 (140). Clinical data collected through medical chart review, demographic data collected through a self-administered questionnaire. Descriptive and analytic statistics was done using the Student t test and chi-square test. A confidence level of 95% was assumed.
Results: the mean age of participants in Group B was different than that in Group A (p < 0,05). The level of education, the temporary work disability and psychological therapy (greater in group A), were significantly different in both groups (p < 0,05), as was the presence of metastases (greater in B) and the previous and current treatments received (p > 0,0001).
Conclusions: women aged 45 to 65 are a risk group for developing breast cancer. The availability and access to psychological therapy sessions, required mostly by newly diagnosed women, must be ensured. New therapeutic modalities are also observed in Group A. Studies of this type are necessary to adapt care, screening programs and other aspects of care to the characteristics of women at risk of or newly diagnosed with cancer.
