Abstract

Objectives: to describe and analyze the most prevalent cancer symptom clusters as well as their intensity, discomfort and clustering in hospitalized women with non-metastatic malignant breast cancer.

Methods: a descriptive observational study, with 100 women hospitalized with non-metastatic breast cancer, recruited at a reference oncology center in southeastern Brazil between June 2022 and March 2023. To analyze cancer symptom clusters, the hierarchical method was used.

Results: fifty-one patients were in stage I of the disease, 13 women in stage II, and 36 women in stage III. The most frequent histological type was ductal carcinoma in situ (38%), followed by invasive carcinoma (33%). The most prevalent cancer symptoms were pain (67%), lack of energy (63%), worrying (62%), and difficulty sleeping (57%), constituting a neuropsychological symptom cluster.

Conclusions: the neuropsychological symptom cluster (pain-lack of energy-worrying-difficulty sleeping) was the most prevalent in women hospitalized with non-metastatic malignant breast neoplasm.

乳腺癌住院妇女的癌症症状群：一项描述性观察性研究

目的：描述和分析住院女性非转移性恶性乳腺癌最常见的肿瘤症状群及其强度、不适程度和聚集性。方法：一项描述性观察性研究，在2022年6月至2023年3月期间，在巴西东南部的一个参考肿瘤学中心招募了100名非转移性乳腺癌住院妇女。采用层次分析法对肿瘤症状聚类进行分析。结果：51例患者为I期，13例为II期，36例为III期。最常见的组织学类型是导管原位癌（38%），其次是浸润性癌（33%）。最常见的癌症症状是疼痛（67%）、精力不足（63%）、焦虑（62%）和睡眠困难（57%），构成神经心理学症状群。结论：神经心理症状群（疼痛-缺乏能量-睡眠困难）在非转移性乳腺恶性肿瘤住院妇女中最为常见。
