Abstract

OBJECTIVES: To verify the accuracy of the Gail Model (GM) in risk assessment in patients with suspected breast cancer and to determine the need to adapt the GM or develop a new model for accurate risk assessment of these patients. METHODS: This is a descriptive, cross-sectional and retrospective study, based on the analysis of data provided by the medical records of 200 patients treated between 2017 and 2021, from the Mastology Outpatient Clinic of the Hospital Universitário Evangélico Mackenzie (HUEM). RESULTS: 155 women were diagnosed with breast cancer and 45 were not. The mean age was 54.23 years and the mean age at menarche was 13 years. Also, only 13 medical records contained information on age at birth of the 1st child or absence of children, and the mean age obtained was 26.77 years. Ethnic prevalence was white and most patients had no first-degree relatives with breast cancer. Regarding previous breast biopsies, most had already performed at least one, but few received a result of atypical hyperplasia. Furthermore, most of the study patients diagnosed with breast cancer had no positive family history of the disease. CONCLUSION: The study shows that the GM isn't reliable in assuming the risk of the studied population to develop breast CA, since, when comparing the GM data between groups that had and didn't have the disease, there was no significant difference.
