Resultados mastográficos BIRADS 4, 5 y 6 y su relación con el uso de anticonceptivos hormonales

Abstract

Objective: Determine the relationship between the use of hormonal contraceptives and the development of suspicious of breast cancer lesions in female patients. Methods: A retrospective, observational, descriptive, cross-sectional study was carried out in 70 patients with a BIRADS score of 4 or higher. The data was obtained from the Excel database provided by the epidemiology department at UMF 37 and descriptive statistics were used to evaluate the relationship between the use of hormonal contraceptives and the development of suspicious breast lesions. Results: 44.3 % of the patients with a suspicious breast lesion had used hormonal contraceptives, 22.6 % of whom had used them for more than 5 years. There is a 1.8 higher risk of developing
breast cancer if hormonal contraceptives are used for longer than 5 years and a 1.5 higher risk if a direct family member has developed it. Conclusion: There is no relationship between the use of hormonal contraceptives and the development of suspicious breast lesions and breast cancer, but it is related to the length of use and family history of breast cancer.
