O uso da tomossíntese digital mamária e da mamografia digital na detecção precoce do câncer de mama: uma revisão integrativa da literatura

Abstract

Breast cancer is the second type of cancer more affected than women in Brazil, second only to non-melanoma skin cancer. Currently, the large-scale study used to diagnose mammary neoplasia is the mammography exam, which is even inclusive for population screening in Brazil. New techniques are emerging to improve early detection, being as important as screening as a diagnosis; a digital breast tomosynthesis is one of them. OBJECTIVES: To demonstrate the use of tomosynthesis combined with mammography as the best diagnosis of breast cancer; to show the risk indices of cancer in Brazil, to show the main methods of obtaining breast imaging, describe as advantages and disadvantages, such as methods of digital breast tomosynthesis methods and digital mammography. METHODOLOGY: This work is an Integrated Literature Review, carried out in database: SCIELO, PUBMED / MDLINE, LILACS, Capes Periodicals and Google Scholar. The translation criteria were: articles by all, academic papers, journals, books and conferences that have a direct connection with the proposed theme and were delivered between 2013 and 2018 in Portuguese, Spanish and English. We obtained 35 papers for the proposed theme, which are the inclusion and exclusion criteria at the end, using only 10 to set the results table. The descriptors used were: mammography / mammography, breast cancer / breast cancer, tomosynthesis / tomosynthesis. RESULTS: 70% of the studies detected breast cancers using digital mammography associated with digital mammography in relation to digital mammography; consequently, becoming more vulnerable to the diagnosis of two joints; 60% of the studies stated that recall rates are lower than the 2 categories combined. CONCLUSION: The use of the digital mammography technique associated with digital mammography represented the significant gain for the mammary diagnosis.
