Avaliação epidemiológica dos Gliomas operados, Unidade de Neurocirurgia, no Hospital de Base do Distrito Federal

Abstract

Objectives: To analyze the epidemiological profile of patients submit‑ted to tumor resection of gliomasTo determine the prevalence of the gliomas operated by tumor injury in the Neurosurgery Unit of the Base Hospital of the Federal District; To categorize epidemiological associa‑tions in the histopathological profile of operated gliomas; To detect the mortality of patients in the postoperative period of glioma; to establish the survival curve in patients operated in the years of 2012 and 2013. Method: Cross‑sectional, descriptive, exploratory, retrospective study with a quantitative approach, analysis of 374 cases of neurological ne‑oplasms, data obtained in the hospital registry sector and anatomopa‑thological records in the period from 2012 to 2013, which obeyed the selection criteria of the sample. Excluding patients who did not close histological diagnosis for neoplasias of the central nervous system and those who were not surgically treated; the results were treated by des‑criptive statistics and considered the ethical aspects of the research in‑volving human beings. Results: Primary brain tumors corresponded to 33.7% of the sample; followed by meningiomas 23.3%, schwannoma 7%, corresponded to the main histological types. There was a predominance of males with peak incidence in the age group from 41 to 60 years. Of the patients in the sample, 89.1% died between the years 2012 to 2016 and 10.9% of the patients were in medical follow‑up for four years. Conclusion: Primary neurological tumors were predominant in the series; Gliomas, meningiomas and schwannomas corresponded to the main histological types. Breast and bone neoplasms have been implica‑ted in the development of neurological tumors.
