Objective: To synthesize scientific literature published on the control of pain, exudation, odor and bleeding of neoplastic wounds.Methods: This is an integrative review of the literature in the databases CINAHL, SciELO, MEDLINE, LILACS and Portal of Periodicals of CAPES with articles that approached the theme. Twenty-two articles were included, of which 18 were written in the English language and three in the Spanish language, published between 2004 and 2016.Results: From the articles studied, categories were constructed: Interventions for pain control; Interventions for the control of exudate; Interventions for the control of odor and Interventions for the control of bleeding.

Objective: To investigate the knowledge of nursing students about the care provided to patients with neoplastic wound.Method: This is an exploratory research of a qualitative nature, which was attended by 15 students of the Bachelor's Degree in Nursing from the Center of Education and Health of the Federal University of Campina Grande, campus Cuité -PB, in the period from October to November 2015. For data collection, we used a form for an interview. The data were analyzed through the Technique of Thematic Analysis of Minayo.Results: From the analysis of the empirical material emerged the following thematic categories: Category 1. Defining neoplastic wounds; Category 2. Knowledge incipient on 'neoplastic wounds' for academic and professional practice; Category 3. Envisioning the theme "neoplastic wound" in the Academy; Category 4. Knowledge about methods of evaluation of neoplastic wounds and Category 5. Knowledge of therapeutic modalities of neoplastic wounds. Conclusions:The academics know the evaluative method of a patient with neoplastic wound as integralizadora unit of care process; recognize palliative care as the best therapeutic modality for these customers, especially when they are in completion and indicate the products contraindicated in the treatment of these lesions; however, do not mention the covers and recommended substances for the IntroductionCancer is a genetic disease from a result of a series of injuries in the DNA or anomalous expression of normal genes, which will modify the coordinating functions of the proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis cells, leading to the mutation and malignant cellular phenotype. With the replacement of normal cells by the cancerous ones, the invaded tissues become losing their functions and, finally, the appearance of an exophytic lesion occurs [1-2].The World Health Organization (WHO) has projected some perspectives about cancer, but called attention to a serious situation: we can expect about 27 million incident cases, 17 million deaths and 75 million people alive, annually, with cancer, being the developing countries the most affected ones, among them Brazil. According to estimates from 2016/2017, Brazil should register in the year 2017 about 596 thousand new cases of cancer. Among men, there are expected 295,200 cases, and among women, 300,800 cases [3].The proportional distribution of the five most estimated types of cancer in 2016/2017, according to the National Cancer Institute [3], has a primary location in the male gender: prostate (28.6%); trachea, bronchi and lungs (8.1%); colon and rectum (7.8%); stomach (6.0%) and oral cavity (5.2%); already in the female gender: breast (28.1%); colon and rectum (8.6%); cervix (7.9%); trachea, bronchi and lungs (5.3%) and stomach (3.7%), not taking into account non-melanoma skin cancer in both genders, considered the most prevalent in Brazil.Among patients with cancer disease, about 5% to 10% of them progress to wounds, be resulting from a primary tumor or from malignant cell proliferation. These lesi...
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
