RESUMO: Introdução â A evolução tecnolĂłgica permitiu uma deteção precoce do cancro e, consequentemente, uma abordagem terapĂȘutica mais eficaz e efetiva, resultando no aumento da sobrevida dos doentes. Assim, pretende-se avaliar a influĂȘncia da radioterapia na qualidade de vida dos doentes com cancro da mama. Metodologia â 47 participantes que efetuaram radioterapia no Centro Hospitalar Barreiro-Montijo preencheram os dois questionĂĄrios, o EORTC QLQ-C30 e o QLQ-BR23, antes de iniciar radioterapia e no Ășltimo dia do tratamento. Os resultados foram analisados atravĂ©s do programa informĂĄtico
SPSS, versĂŁo 19.0. Resultados â Observou-se um ligeiro decrĂ©scimo na qualidade da saĂșde global no segundo momento de avaliação. Verificou-se uma diminuição nas escalas
sintomåtica e funcional no segundo momento de avaliação. Em relação ao questionårio
QLQ-BR23, na escala sintomåtica, observou-se uma diminuição nos efeitos secundårios
resultantes da radioterapia no Ășltimo momento de avaliação. DiscussĂŁo dos Resultados â Os resultados obtidos no questionĂĄrio QLQ-C30 revelam que a avaliação global da saĂșde dos doentes nĂŁo Ă© influenciada pelo tratamento de radioterapia. Em relação ao questionĂĄrio
QLQ-BR23, os sintomas relacionados com a mama e o braço tiveram um aumento
ligeiramente significativo no segundo momento de avaliação, sendo estes associados à radioterapia. De acordo com os resultados obtidos, a radioterapia não influencia a qualidade de vida em doentes com cancro da mama.
ABSTRACT: Introduction â The technological development allowed an early detection of cancer and therefore a more efficient and effective therapeutic approach, resulting in increased survival of patients. Thus it is intended to evaluate the influence of radiotherapy in quality of life of patients with breast cancer. Methodology â 47 participants who performed radiotherapy in Centro Hospitalar Barreiro-Montijo filled two questionnaires, EORTC QLQ-C30 and QLQ-BR23, before initiating radiotherapy and the last day of treatment. The results were analyzed using the software SPSS version 19.0. Results â It was observed a slight decrease in the quality of the global health on the second assessment. In functional and symptomatic scales it was observed a decrease in the second assessment. In the symptomatic scale regarding the questionnaire QLQ-BR23, it was observed a decrease in the side effects resulting from radiotherapy, at the last moment of assessment. Discussion of Results â The results from the questionnaire QLQ-C30 reveal that the overall assessment of patients is not influenced by radiotherapy. Regarding the questionnaire QLQ-BR23, the symptoms related with the breast and arm had a slightly significant increase in the second assessment, these being associated with radiotherapy. According to the obtained results, radiotherapy does not influence the quality of life in patients with breast cancer.
