“…A maioria das mulheres diagnosticadas com esse tipo de tumor passa por uma intervenção cirúrgica para retirada parcial ou total da mama (mastectomia), muitas vezes considerada traumatizante, já que altera sua aparência, sensibilidade e funcionalidade 12,14 . Seus resultados -associados ou não a tratamentos complementares -podem causar efeitos colaterais, afetando-as física, social e emocionalmente 4,12,14 . Os efeitos psicológicos gerados pelo impacto do diagnóstico e dos tratamentos provocam mudanças na vida dessas mulheres que vão desde suas atividades diárias 7,14,15 e convívio social até sua sexualidade e percepção da própria imagem corporal 3,11,16 .…”

“…De acordo com a Organização Mundial da Saúde, a funcionalidade é um indicador importante de saúde, que busca adotar uma abordagem biopsicossocial, englobando a interação entre os vários aspectos da saúde, a saber: biológico, individual e social 12 . O impacto na funcionalidade pode gerar o abandono de algumas atividades cotidianas 4,13 , desencadeando um sentimento de incapacidade e distúrbios emocionais que afetam a qualidade de vida das mulheres 12,14 .…”

Esta pesquisa avaliou a percepção da imagem corporal de mulheres mastectomizadas, com ou sem reconstrução mamária, investigando como o adoecimento e os tratamentos impactaram suas vidas. Trata-se de um estudo descritivo, transversal, com abordagem qualitativa. Participaram dez mulheres com diagnóstico de câncer mamário, mastectomizadas, com ou sem reconstrução mamária, atendidas no HU/UFJF, de janeiro a novembro de 2015, por meio de uma entrevista semiestruturada. Para análise qualitativa, aplicou-se a Análise de Conteúdo de Bardin, de onde emergiram as categorias: “Diagnóstico e Enfrentamento”, “Rede de Apoio”, “Tratamentos e seus Anseios”, “Imagem Corporal”, e “Papel na Sociedade”. Concluiu-se que o cuidado com a saúde das mulheres acometidas pela doença demanda assistência multiprofissional, que auxilie no processo de enfrentamento do câncer e na reabilitação para além das limitações físicas, com o intuito de reconexão do corpo físico, psíquico e espiritual, visando facilitar a adaptação ao “novo corpo” e permitir incremento na autoestima, a reinserção social e melhoria da qualidade de vida.

“…Breast cancer is currently the neoplasm with the highest incidence among women worldwide though the number of survivors is constantly increasing with progressive improvement in treatment strategies [1,2]. However, despite substantial advances in surgical techniques and therapy, these procedures are still associated with a high prevalence of complications of the ipsilateral upper limb.…”

“…However, despite substantial advances in surgical techniques and therapy, these procedures are still associated with a high prevalence of complications of the ipsilateral upper limb. The main complications of breast cancer treatment can reduce the strength of the upper limb, range of motion (ROM) of the arm and shoulder, create pain, produce or exacerbate emotional disturbances (i.e., anxiety, depression), and alter body image with a consequent reduction in the quality of life (QoL) [2,3]. Therefore, breast cancer is continuing to emerge as a major health issue as testified by the large number of studies on health-related QoL in survivors [4].…”

Current evidence suggests that physical activity interventions can improve quality of life, fitness, and strength, reducing depression and fatigue in breast cancer survivors. However, in the long-term many survivors are insufficiently active. Here, the possible long-term benefits of a specific adapted physical activity (APA) intervention on upper limb functional performance and quality of life in breast cancer survivors were investigated. For this purpose, fifteen survivors were assessed by fitness tests (shoulder-arm mobility, range of motion, back flexibility) at the baseline and at eight weeks post-APA intervention. Quality of life and surgical shoulder and back pain intensity were evaluated by Short Form-12 and numerical rating scale questionnaires, respectively. Five participants, who continued to follow the APA protocol over time, were again evaluated after two years and compared to either five women who were inactive or five others who practiced general physical activity after ending the eight-week APA protocol. Shoulder-arm mobility and self-reported questionnaire data revealed the maintenance and/or improvement of the achieved benefits two years after the APA intervention. Our findings suggest that the long-term practice of APA tailored to individual characteristics should be recommended to breast cancer survivors in order to preserve quality of life and fitness.

Health-Related Quality of Life in Patients with Breast Cancer in Latin America and the Caribbean: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Background and Objectives. Breast cancer (BC) is the most common cancer in women. It imposes a huge disease burden and a significant impact on health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Our study focused on HRQoL of patients with BC in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC). We conducted a systematic review to identify relevant articles published between 2008 and August 2018. We conducted several meta-analyses and subgroup analyses by country, disease stage, and instrument used (Prospective Register Of Systematic Reviews registration number: CRD42018106835). Results. From 2,265 initial references, we finally included 75 articles (8,806 participants) that assessed HRQoL. The European Organization for the Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire C30 and B23 modules (34 studies; 8 countries; 4,866 participants) were the most used instruments, followed by the Short Form 36-item, the abbreviated version of the World Health Organization Quality of Life instrument, and the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Breast instrument. Only four studies reported specific HRQoL data of patients with metastatic disease. Half the studies were rated as having moderate quality (38/75), and 38% (29/75) as high quality. We identified substantial heterogeneity. As expected, the metaanalyses revealed that patients with metastatic disease reported lower HRQoL values and high symptom burden compared with patients at earlier stages. Similar results can be observed when we compared patients with early breast cancer in active treatment phases versus those in follow-up. Conclusion. This study provides a synthesis of breast cancer HRQoL reported in LAC and exposes existing evidence gaps. Patients with BC in active treatment or with metastatic disease had worse HRQoL compared with survivors during the follow-up period. The Oncologist 2021;9999:• • Implications for Practice: This systematic review study provides an exhaustive synthesis of breast cancer health-related quality of life in women in the Latin American and Caribbean region. Patients with breast cancer in active treatment or with metastatic disease had worse health-related quality of life compared with survivors during the different follow-up periods. This study also shows important evidence and methods gaps that can help inform future research.
