Abstract(s)
Objetivo: Esta revisão de literatura tem como objetivo identificar e descrever as alterações cutâneas provocadas pela RT, assim como evidenciar a intervenção da fisioterapia dermatofuncional no âmbito do seu tratamento em doentes oncológicos. Materiais e Métodos: A pesquisa realizada decorreu entre os meses de Outubro e Dezembro de 2018, utilizando como bases de dados a PubMed e a ScienceDirect, sendo definido o período das publicações correspondentes aos últimos 20 anos. Neste estudo foram incluídos os artigos: (1) que incluam como amostra do estudo doentes oncológicos submetidos a RT; (2) estudos cujas variáveis se relacionem com os métodos de intervenção em fisioterapia dermatofuncional; (3) artigos disponíveis na íntegra em língua portuguesa ou inglesa. Resultados Principais: Foram analisados 8 artigos onde foram estudadas diferentes abordagens de intervenção da fisioterapia nas lesões cutâneas descritas, nomeadamente no âmbito da Radiodermatite, da Fibrose Induzida pela Radioterapia (FIR) e das Telangiectasias. Conclusão: A elevada prevalência de queixas dermatológicas em pacientes oncológicos submetidos a RT revela a importância da elaboração precoce de estratégias de intervenção; no entanto são necessários mais estudos que especifiquem a abordagem de avaliação e tratamento neste grupo de doentes.
ABSTRACT - Objective: This literature review aims to identify and describe the skin changes caused by RT, as well as evidence the intervention of dermato-functional physiotherapy in the context of its treatment in cancer patients. Materials and Methods: The research was conducted between October and December 2018, using PubMed and ScienceDirect as databases and the period of publications corresponding to the last 20 years is defined. In this study, the following articles were included: (1) including as a sample of the study cancer patients submitted to RT; (2) studies whose variables are related to the methods of intervention in dermato-functional physiotherapy; (3) articles available in full in English or Portuguese. Main results: We analyzed 8 articles in which different approaches of physical therapy intervention were studied in the described skin lesions, namely in the scope of Radiodermatitis, Radiotherapy Induced Fibrosis (RIF), and Telangiectasias. Conclusion: The high prevalence of dermatological complaints in oncological patients submitted to RT reveals the importance of the early elaboration of intervention strategies; however, further studies are required to specify the assessment and treatment approach in this group of patients.
