ABSTRACT

SUMMARY INTRODUCTION: Drug interaction is an important cause of global morbidity. It is of particular importance in cancer patients since they are often in use of polypharmacy, related to interactions between the drugs and the chemotherapeutics used. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the drug interaction between chemotherapy and other drugs in cancer patients. METHODS: a cross-sectional study carried out in the outpatient oncology department of a public tertiary hospital. Two hundred thirty-five patients were included, and the drugs they were using were identified. Using the MedScape and Epocrates database, we evaluated the interactions between medications and chemotherapy by defining their frequency and dividing their severity from interaction into mild, close monitoring necessity and severe. RESULTS: 161 patients had some drug interaction. We identified 9 types of mild interactions, 23 types of interactions with close monitoring necessity, and 2 types of serious interactions. The most frequent interactions were between fluorouracil and leucovorin (32 cases) and cyclophosphamide and doxorubicin (19 cases). Serious interactions were between aspirin and pemetrexed; and leucovorin and Bactrim. CONCLUSION: In the present study, drug interactions were frequent, including serious interactions with a potential increase in morbidity and mortality. Thus, it is necessary for oncologists to draw up a therapeutic plan considering potential interactions between prescribed chemotherapy and current medications in use by patients.


RESUMO INTRODUÇÃO: Interação medicamentosa é uma importante causa de morbidade mundial. Apresenta especial importância em pacientes oncológicos, pois esses frequentemente estão em uso de polifarmácia, podendo haver interações entre os medicamentos e os quimioterápicos utilizados. OBJETIVO: Avaliar a interação medicamentosa entre a quimioterapia e outros medicamentos em pacientes oncológicos. MÉTODOS: Estudo transversal realizado em serviço ambulatorial de oncologia de um hospital público terciário. Foram incluídos 235 pacientes, identificando-se quais medicamentos eram utilizados por eles. Por meio do auxílio do banco de dados do MedScape e Epocrates, avaliaram-se as interações entre as medicações e os quimioterápicos, definindo sua frequência e dividindo sua gravidade da interação em leve, monitorização próxima e grave. RESULTADOS: Do total estudado, 161 pacientes apresentavam alguma interação medicamentosa, sendo nove tipos de interações leves, 23 tipos de interações com necessidade de monitorização próxima e dois tipos de interações graves. As interações mais frequentes foram entre fluoracil e leucovorin (32 casos) e ciclofosfamida e doxorrubicina (19 casos). As interações sérias foram entre aspirina e pemetrexed; e leucovorim e bactrim. CONCLUSÃO: No presente trabalho, interações medicamentosas foram frequentes, incluindo interações graves com potencial aumento de morbimortalidade. Assim, faz-se necessário que oncologistas tracem um plano terapêutico levando em consideração as possíveis interações medicamentosas entre a quimioterapia prescrita e demais medicações em uso pelos pacientes.

ABSTRACT

Resumo Objetivo Descrever a frequência, características, localização, intensidade da dor em pacientes com câncer de mama em uso do quimioterápico Docetaxel. Métodos Estudo longitudinal realizado com 17 mulheres com câncer de mama em tratamento com Docetaxel. As pacientes foram avaliadas durante três ciclos da quimioterapia quanto à dor, utilizando-se os instrumentos Questionário McGill de Dor (Br-MPQ) e Brief Pain Inventory (BPI). Utilizou-se a correlação de Spearman e o teste de Mann-Whitney. Resultados Houve aumento na média da dor em todas as variáveis do BPI. Quando comparados os valores do Pain Rating Index (PRI) total foram verificados respectivamente 0,20; 0,33 e 0,24 na primeira, segunda e terceira avaliações, sendo encontrada correlação entre a intensidade da dor e a interferência em todas as atividades do cotidiano no BPI na segunda avaliação. Conclusão Houve aumento na ocorrência da dor, comprometendo as atividades diárias de vida das mulheres participantes.


Abstract Objective To describe the frequency, characteristics, location, pain intensity in breast cancer patients using the chemotherapy medication Docetaxel. Methods Longitudinal study involving 17 women with breast cancer under treatment using Docetaxel. The patients’ pain was assessed during three chemotherapy cycles, using the tools McGill Pain Questionnaire (Br-MPQ) and the Brief Pain Inventory (BPI). Spearman’s correlation and the Mann-Whitney test were used. Results The mean pain score increased in all variables of the BPI. When comparing the total coefficients on the Pain Assessment Index, 0.20; 0.33 and 0.24 were found in the first, second and third assessment, showing a correlation between the pain intensity and the interference in all daily activities on the BPI for the second assessment. Conclusion The occurrence of pain increased, compromising the participating women’s activities of daily living.

ABSTRACT

Aimed to learn about the distressful side effects from the perspective of a child undergoing chemotherapy. This is a qualitative study that used the technique of drawing-story to collect data and thematic analysis to evaluate the results. The subjects were seven children, aged between six and twelve years, they were doing or have done antineoplastic chemotherapy in a public hospital in Rio de Janeiro. This study was approved by Ethics Committee of the institution. The side effects reported by children were nausea and vomiting, gain of weight, pain, hypersensitivity reaction, fever and fatigue, which interfered directly in their daily routine leading to a decrease in well-being and, consequently, poor quality of life.

ABSTRACT

A summary of detoxcating effect of shiquan dabu tang on anti-neoplastic agents during the past 10 years in Japanese Literature shows that it could allevate digestive symptoms, relieve arrest of bone marrow, raise white blood cell count, reduce renal toxicity, and enhance immunity. Antineoplastic agents administration together with traditional Chinese medicine is considered as an alternative method which can improve efficacy and reduce adverse effects, and is worthy of further study.
