Breast cancer is a complex, heterogeneous genetic disease and, in the vast majority of cases, of unknown etiology. Around 7 % of breast cancer cases in the general population present a susceptibility gene mutation of Mendelian inheritance. The ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM) gene mutation is found in less than 1 % of the general population, and association studies conducted with controls have shown that these alleles are characterized by a moderate risk (RR: 2 ‐ 4) for hereditary cancer. Mutations in ATM incompletely cosegregate the disease, with an estimated 15 % of mutation carriers in this gene developing cancer. The incomplete penetrance of ATM, as well as other moderate‐risk genes, supports that they follow a polygenic model of cancer susceptibility. We report the case of a 35‐year‐old woman diagnosed with metachronous bilateral breast carcinoma—T4b N1 M0 stage IIIB left breast and T1c N0 stage I right breast, intrinsic luminal B subtype, HER2 overexpression and pathogenic variant of ATM gene c.7913 G>A, p. Trp2638*—who was treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy, followed by mastectomy, sentinel node biopsy and radiotherapy.

The patients were followed up until they left the hospital (discharge). Individuals under 18 years of age, pregnant or puerperal women, and those whose stay was less than 24 hours were excluded. The data of interest was collected from the patients’ medical records and diet cards. The main variable was the nutritional risk, which was detected using the Nutritional Risk Screening (NRS) 2002. The secondary variables were age group, sex, hospital stay, main medical diagnosis, discharge condition and nutritional status. Data analysis was performed using the chi-square test to compare the qualitative or categorical variables, and the Student’s t-test and ANOVA for the quantitative variables. A value of p < 0.05 was considered as statistically significant. Erika Jauregui-Romero; Esther P. García-Herbozo; Jean Carlos Quispe-Galvez; Carmen Fiorella Martinelli-Mejía; Jose A. J. Gómez-La Rosa https://doi.org/10.24265/horizmed.2023.v23n1.05 INTRODUCCIÓN La desnutrición es un estado de deficiencia o desequilibrio de energía, proteína y otros nutrientes (1). Dicho estado desempeña un alto grado de relevancia durante los procesos patológicos y su evolución (2), lo que origina un aumento de 6 veces el riesgo de mortalidad en pacientes hospitalizados (3). Es así que la desnutrición es considerada un pronosticador negativo e independiente de fracaso terapéutico, lo cual incrementa los recursos y costos de la atención médica (4). Algunas de las causas o situaciones que llevan al desarrollo de esta condición son los ayunos prolongados, el inicio del soporte nutricional tardío, las interacciones fármaco-nutrientes, el inadecuado control de la ingesta y las indicaciones nutricionales, entre otras (5). El riesgo nutricional es un término acuñado hace casi 20 años que hace referencia a un grupo de pacientes hospitalizados que requieren un aporte nutricional alto debido a la severidad de su enfermedad, y que pueden desarrollar desnutrición hospitalaria o que ya está en curso (6). Hay evidencias concretas que señalan que el riesgo nutricional se asocia con la incidencia de reingreso, con una estancia hospitalaria más larga (7) y con una mayor probabilidad de muerte intrahospitalaria (8). En relación con esto, sociedades científicas como la Sociedad Europea de Nutrición Clínica y Metabólica (ESPEN) y la Sociedad Americana de Nutrición Enteral y Parenteral (ASPEN) han desarrollado herramientas de tamizaje nutricional dirigidas a identificar a los pacientes con riesgo nutricional (dentro de las primeras 24 a 48 horas de ingreso) (9). Existen diversos tipos de tamizajes nutricionales para los","PeriodicalId":396953,"journal":{"name":"Horizonte Médico (Lima)","volume":"77 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120979490","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
