Spanish to English: Research Paper from "Pontificia Universidad Catolica de Chile" General field: Medical Detailed field: Medical (general)
Source text - Spanish El cáncer de mama (CM) constituye en la actualidad una enfermedad heterogénea y de comportamiento clínico variado. La clasificación de acuerdo a subtipos ha permitido avanzar en la individualización del tratamiento. El objetivo de este estudio es evaluar el riesgo de compromiso nodal axilar en pacientes con CM, según subtipos clínico-patológicos. Material y métodos: estudio retrospectivo, descriptivo-analítico. Se incluyó a todas las pacientes operadas por CM invasor, con estudio del linfonodo centinela (LC), en el Hospital Clínico de la Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, entre mayo de 1999 y diciembre de 2012. Resultados: Seiscientos treinta y dos pacientes cumplieron los criterios de inclusión. Mediana de edad 55 años (rango 28 – 95). Quinientos cincuenta y nueve (88,4%) pacientes presentaron tumores receptor de estrógenos (RE) y/o progesterona (RP) positivos. Luminal A: 246 pacientes (38,9%), luminal B: 243 (38,4%), luminal no especificado: 70 (11,1%) triple negativo (TN): 60 (9,5%) y sobreexpresión del receptor del factor de crecimiento epidérmico tipo 2 (HER2 positivos): 13 (2,1%). Los tumores luminales mostraron mayor riesgo de metástasis en el LC, pero esta diferencia no fue estadísticamente significativa (p= 0,67). Los tumores TN y HER2 positivos presentaron la mayor proporción de compromiso metastásico en linfonodo no centinela (LnoC) (57,1% y 50%, respectivamente). La presencia de macrometástasis (MA) en el LC se asoció a mayor riesgo de compromiso del LnoC. Conclusiones: Los tumores luminales son los más frecuentes y presentan una mayor proporción de compromiso linfonodal axilar, sin ser estadísticamente significativa. Si bien en los tumores TN y HER2 positivo existió una tendencia a un compromiso axilar más extenso, este tampoco fue estadísticamente significativo. Sólo la presencia de MA en el LC, demostró asociación estadísticamente significativa con el compromiso de LnoC.
Translation - English Breast cancer (BC) is currently a heterogeneous disease with variation in clinical behavior. Classification according to subtypes has allowed progress in the individualization of treatment. The objective of this study is to evaluate the risk of axillary node compromise in patients with BC, according to clinicopathologic subtypes. Materials and methods: retrospective, descriptive-analytical study. All patients that had undergone surgery for invasive BC were included, with study of sentinel lymph node (SLN), at Hospital Clínico de la Pontificia Universidad Católica, between may of 1999 and December of 2012. Results: Six-hundred thirty-two patients fulfilled the inclusion criteria. Median age 55 years (range 28 - 95). Five-hundred fifty-nine (88.4%) of patients presented estrogen receptor (ER) and/or progesterone receptor (PR) positive tumors. Luminal A: 246 patients (38.9%), luminal B: 243 (38.4%), luminal not otherwise specified: 70 (11.1%) triple-negative (TN): 60 (9.5%) and over expression of epidermal growth factor type 2 receptor (HER2 positive): 13 (2.1%). Luminal tumors displayed a greater risk of metastasis in the SLN, but this difference was not statistically significant (p= 0.67). TN and HER2 positive tumors presented the greatest proportion of metastatic compromise in non-sentinel lymph nodes (non-SLN) (57.1% and 50%, respectively). The presence of macro metastasis (MAM) in the SLN was associated to a greater risk of compromise of the non-SLN. Conclusions: Luminal tumors are the most frequent and present a greater proportion of axillary lymph node compromise, without being statistically significant. TN and HER2 positive tumors tended to have a higher axillary compromise, however this wan not statistically significant either. Only the presence of MAM in SLN, displayed statistically significantly association in the compromise of non-SLN.

Source text - Spanish Los impactos negativos de OSV se ven intensificados en mujeres, niños y población LGBTI. Estos impactos incluyen, entre otros, homicidios, violencia de género, trata y tráfico de personas, incremento de la criminalidad y delincuencia juvenil, así como aumento en el número de migrantes menores no acompañados. Además, las OSV acentúan las debilidades estructurales existentes al provocar mayor demanda de servicios básicos y requerimientos de protección y justicia que generalmente no responden de forma efectiva aumentando aún más la vulnerabilidad de estos grupos.
Translation - English Negative impacts of OSV are shown to be more intense in women, children, and LGBTI population. These impacts include, among others, homicide, gender violence, human trafficking and slavery, increased crime and juvenile delinquency, and also increased number of unaccompanied migrant minors. In addition, OSV increase the existing structural weaknesses by provoking greater demand of basic services and requirements of protection and justice, which generally don't respond in an effective manner, thus increasing the vulnerability of these groups even more.
