Abstract

This is a descriptive documental study aiming
to investigate the epidemiological profile of the deaths
which occurred among women aged below 40 years
old, diagnosed with breast cancer. Data collection was
undertaken in the Hospital Records (Cancer) Service of
the Teaching Hospital of the Federal University of Paraná,
Brazil, including information recorded between January
2003 and December 2011. A total of 638 notifications
of breast cancer were identified, of which 68 were of
women aged below 40 years old, of whom 21 died. It
was ascertained that the survival was, on average, of 40
months; and that 76.2% were at advanced stages (III or
IV). It is emphasized that screening for breast cancer in
women at high risk allows the detection of tumors at earlier
stages, reducing the incidence in the number of deaths and
improving the health indicators.
