Introdução: A qualidade de vida de pacientes oncológicos tem sido objeto de estudo em muitos trabalhos brasileiros. Contudo, apesar da alta prevalência de indivíduos submetidos a radioterapia, poucos estudos com ênfase nesse grupo de pacientes foram identificados. Objetivo: Avaliar a qualidade de vida e a prevalência de sintomas depressivos em pacientes com neoplasias malignas durante o tratamento radioterápico. Método: Estudo transversal quantitativo realizado com 153 pacientes oncológicos em vigência de tratamento radioterápico em um centro especializado em oncologia e radioterapia, localizado no Noroeste do Estado do Parana. Os dados foram coletados entre marco e setembro de 2018. O European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-C30) e o Inventario de Depressão de Beck foram utilizados para avaliar a qualidade de vida e os sintomas depressivos, respectivamente. Resultados: Os domínios “qualidade de vida”, “função cognitiva” e “função social” foram os que menos se mostraram prejudicados na amostra estudada, enquanto “insônia”, “perda de apetite” e “dificuldades financeiras” destacaram-se entre os maiores preditores de baixa qualidade de vida. Ademais, contatou-se que 22% dos indivíduos avaliados apresentaram algum grau de transtorno de humor, sendo 11% diagnosticados com depressão. Conclusão: O declínio na qualidade de vida e a prevalência de sintomas depressivos em pacientes oncológicos, mesmo os em vigência de radioterapia, enaltecem a importância de intervenções precoces que visem a restabelecer a funcionalidade e o bem-estar.

The Impact

Backround/Aim. Considering the distinct increase in the incidence of oropharyngeal cancer over oral cavity cancers and changing epidemiology with human papilloma virus (HPV) infection emerging as an important risk factor, there is a need to establish better treatment choices in specific groups of patients with oropharyngeal cancer. The aim of this study was to assess the quality of life (QOL) and functional performance and the impact of different demographical data, stage of disease, and treatment type on these parameters in patients with oropharyngeal cancer with successfully achieved locoregional control a year after the treatment. Methods. Study included 87 patients who underwent QOL and functional impairment assessment 12 to 14 months after finished oncological treatment with the following questionnaires: the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality-of Life-Questionnaire-C30 (EORTC QLQ-C30), European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of- Life Questionnaire-Head and Neck 35 (EORTC QLQ-H&N35) and The Karnofsky Performance Scale (KPS). Results. Specific groups of patients had significantly different post-treatment QOL scores. The factors associated with the worse QOL scores were female gender, not being in a partnership, level of education and HPV status. Conclusion. Clinicians should consider socioeconomic factors and HPV status in planning the recovery after treatment of patients with oropharyngeal carcinoma. Gender, education level and employment are the variables that form a certain risk profiles associated with the lower QOL.

Introdução: O câncer de mama pode alterar a qualidade de vida relacionada à saúde das pacientes. Objetivo: Compreender o impacto da quimioterapia para câncer de mama na qualidade de vida relacionada à saúde de pacientes. Método: Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa da literatura, compreendendo artigos publicados entre 2007 e 2019, disponíveis nas bases de dados PubMed, LILACS e SciELO. Analisaram-se 25 artigos na íntegra. Resultados: Os questionários mais frequentemente utilizados nos estudos foram o European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Core Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-C30) e o módulo complementar European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Breast Cancer-specific Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-BR23). Em relação às alterações da qualidade de vida, a saúde global diminui durante a quimioterapia, mas pode melhorar após o término do tratamento. O aumento dos sintomas é relatado em diversos estudos e prejudicou a qualidade de vida relacionada à saúde das pacientes. Entretanto, os sintomas diminuem após o término da quimioterapia, exceto para algumas escalas. As escalas de imagem corporal, função sexual e funcionamento físico pioram ao longo do tratamento. A qualidade de vida mental/psicológica tem oscilações durante o tratamento, assim como a escala sobre as relações sociais. Conclusão: A qualidade de vida relacionada à saúde de mulheres com câncer de mama é afetada negativamente pelo tratamento quimioterápico, expressando maior impacto nas escalas de sintomas.

Performance Scale

Latar belakang: Karsinoma nasofaring (KNF) berpengaruh terhadap kualitas hidup penderita, baik dari kankernya sendiri, maupun pengobatan serta efek sampingnya. Penilaian kualitas hidup penderita KNF dapat secara unidimensional menggunakan parameter status tampilan Karnofsky Performance Scale (Karnofsky PS) atau multidimensional memakai parameter European Organization For Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire C30 (EORTC QLQ-C30) dan European Organization For Research And Treatment Of Cancer Head and Neck Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-H&N35).Tujuan: Menilai kesesuaian hasil skor Karnofsky PS, EORTC QLQ-C30 dan EORTC QLQ-H&N35 dalam menilai kualitas hidup penderita KNF dengan menentukan korelasi antar parameter dan menentukan estimasi skor Karnofsky PS menggunakan skor EORTC QLQ-C30 dan skor EORTC QLQ-H&N35. Menganalisis hubungan antar parameter menurut stadium.Metode: Penelitian adalah observasional analitik dengan pedekatan cross sectional. Populasinya semua kasus KNF yang berobat ke Bagian THT-KL, Rumah Sakit Wahidin Sudirohusodo, Makassar. Sampel sebanyak 48 orang dipilih secara purposive. Penilaian kualitas hidup menggunakan parameter Karnofsky PS, EORTC QLQ-C30 dan EORTC QLQ-H&N35. Hasil: Didapati kesesuaian hasil skor dari ketiga parameter, ditandai adanya korelasi bermakna antara skor Karnofsky PS, skor EORTC QLQ-C30 dan skor EORTC QLQ-H&N35. Semakin tinggi skor Karnofsky PS, akan semakin rendah skor EORTC QLQ-C30 dan skor EORTC QLQ-H&N35 maka kualitas hidup penderita KNF semakin baik. Skor EORTC QLQ-C30 dan skor EORTC QLQ-H&N35 dapat mengestimasi skor Karnofsky PS. Terdapat hubungan bermakna antara Karnofsky PS, EORTC QLQ-C30 dan EORTC QLQ-H&N35 menurut stadium (p<0,05). Kesimpulan: DEORTC QLQ-C30 dan EORTC QLQ-H&N35 dapat melengkapi Karnofsky PS dalam penilaian kualitas hidup penderita kanker kepala leher terutama KNF. Kata kunci: Kualitas hidup, KNF, Karnofsky PS, EORTC QLQ-C30, EORTC QLQ-H&N3.

Background: Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women. Breast cancer is ranked the first female cancer (33.4%) in Morocco; and more than 60% cases are diagnosed at stage III or IV. During the last decade, health-related quality of life (HRQOL) has become an important part of breast cancer treatment. Aim: The objective of this study is to describe self- reported HRQOL in patients with breast cancer and to investigate its associations with socio-demographic and clinical variables. Methods: A prospective study was carried out in the main oncology centers in Morocco. Quality of life was measured using the Moroccan Arabic version of the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire C 30 (EORTC QLQ C30) and Breast Cancer-Specific Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-BR23). Statistical data analyses were performed using descriptive statistics and multivariate analyses. Results: A total of 1463 subjects were included in the study. The subjects' mean age was 55.6 (SD. 11.2) years, 70% were married. The majority of the subjects had stage II (45.9%) and the few cases had stage IV (12.9%). Participants had a mean score for global health of 68.5. Among functional scales, social functioning scored the highest (mean 86.2, SD = 22.7). The most distressing symptom on the symptom scales was financial difficulties (mean 63.2, SD = 38.2). Using the disease-specific tool, it was found that future perspective scored the lowest (mean 40.5, SD = 37.3). On the symptom scale, arm symptoms scored the highest (mean 23.6, SD = 21.6). Significant mean differences were noted for many functional and symptom scales. Conclusion: Our results emphasize that the general HRQOL of the studied women is fairer than that of the corresponding population in other countries. This study provided baseline information on the quality of life of a large sample of Moroccan women diagnosed with breast cancer.
