Abstract in Portuguese
Este estudo teve como objetivos analisar a ocorrência de neutropenia induzida pelas drogas utilizadas nos protocolos de quimioterapia neoadjuvante ou adjuvante entre mulheres com câncer de mama seguidas no Ambulatório de Mastologia do HCFMRPUSP e identificar os domínios de qualidade de vida (QV) mais afetados entre as mulheres durante o tratamento quimioterápico. Foi realizada avaliação das toxicidades hematológicas a cada ciclo de tratamento quimioterápico de mulheres com câncer de mama, seguidas no referido ambulatório. A avaliação da QV se deu em três momentos do tratamento com a aplicação do questionário EORTC QLQ-C30 e do módulo específico para câncer de mama o QLQ-BR23. Foram incluídas 79 mulheres, sendo que 34,2% apresentavam-se na faixa etária de 51 a 60 anos. De acordo com a terapêutica utilizada, 50,6% receberam tratamento quimioterápico neoadjuvante; 63,3% apresentaram neutropenia em algum momento e 20,2% apresentaram dois episódios de neutropenia Observou-se um total de 116 episódios neutropênicos ao longo do estudo; destes, 46,5% grau II. A análise da QV mostrou que nas três medidas avaliadas, antes do início do tratamento, no meio e ao final, as diferenças entre os escores de sintomas foram estatisticamente significantes (p<0,05). Quando comparadas as três aplicações, observou-se uma piora dos sintomas incluindo fadiga, dispnéia, náusea e vômito. Os resultados encontrados sugerem o desenvolvimento de novos estudos com maiores amostragens, aumento na peridiocidade das avaliações de QV entre os ciclos de quimioterapia concomitante a utilização de instrumentos específicos para avaliar o real impacto da neutropenia na QV. A partir de tais informações, torna-se possível determinar quais indivíduos possuem maior risco em desenvolver neutropenia, possibilitando os enfermeiros oncológicos a desempenhar um papel chave na melhoria da QV destes pacientes.

Abstract in English
The aim of this work is to analyze the occurrence of neutropenia induced by drugs used on the protocol of neo-adjuvant and adjuvant chemotherapy among women with breast cancer watched at Ambulatório de Mastologia do HCFMRP-USP and to identify the most affected domain of quality of life (QL) among women during chemotherapy treatment. A test of the hematologic toxicity was carried out in each cycle of chemotherapeutic treatment of women with breast cancer watched at the referred ambulatory. The QL test happened in three moments during the treatment with the application of the EORTC QLQ-C30 questionnaire and the specific module for breast cancer, the QLQ-BR23. A number of seventy-nine women were included, of which 34,2% presented ages between 51 to 60 years old. According to the used therapy, 50,6% of the patients received neo-adjuvant chemotherapy treatment; 63,3% presented neutropenia at some point and 20,2% presented episodes of neutropenia. It was observed a total number of 116 neutropenic episodes along the study; among them, 46,5% with grade II. The QL analysis showed that in the three measures tested, before the beginning of the treatment, in the middle and at the end, the differences among the scores of symptoms were statistically significant (p<0,05). When the administration of the medicine was compared, it was observed an aggravation of symptoms such as fatigue, dyspnea, nausea and vomiting. The findings suggest the development of new studies with larger samples, increase of periodicity in the QL tests application ensuring the use of specific instruments in each chemotherapy cycle to test the real impact of neutropenia in the QL. Having this information, it is possible to determine which people are more in risk of developing neutropenia, making possible for the oncologic nurses to perform an important role in the improvement of the QL in these patients.
