Objective. to identify the gender differences in assessing quality of life of patients undergoing chemotherapy treatment for colorectal cancer. Methods. this is a crosssectional investigation conducted with 144 patients (72 men and 72 women) undergoing chemotherapy treatment in a southeastern Brazilian hospital. Data were gathered trough a sociodemographic and clinical information form and the Health-related Quality of Life instrument from the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer. Results. cognitive function leads to lower general quality of life, with higher effect in men when compared to women. Body image (p=0.023), abdominal pain (p=0.020) and dry mouth (p=0.001) produced lower quality of life in women. On other hand, men showed lower quality of life related to the following symptoms: fecal incontinency (p<0.001), sexual impotency (p=0.027) and sexual arousal (p<0.001). Conclusion. the illness symptoms and chemotherapy treatment effects that negatively impact on quality of life differ between men and women. Thus, healthcare needs to be focused on these specific factors that affect the quality of life according to the patient's gender.Descriptors: body image; quality of Life; cross-sectional studies; colorectal neoplasms.

-Context -Capecitabine, an oral drug, is as effective as traditional chemotherapy drugs. Objectives -To investigate the adhesion to treatment with oral capecitabine in breast and colorectal cancer, and to determine any correlation with changes in patient's quality of life. Methods -Patients with colorectal cancer or breast cancer using capecitabine were included. The patients were asked to bring any medication left at the time of scheduled visits. The QLQ-C30 questionnaire was applied at the first visit and 8-12 weeks after treatment. Results -Thirty patients were evaluated. Adherence was 88.3% for metastatic colon cancer, 90.4% for non-metastatic colon cancer, 94.3% for rectal cancer and 96.2% for metastatic breast cancer. No strong correlation between adherence and European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer QLQ-C30 functional or symptom scale rates had been found. There was no statistically significant correlation between compliance and the functional and symptom scales of the questionnaire before and after chemotherapy, with the exception of dyspnea. Conclusion -Although no absolute adherence to oral capecitabine treatment had been observed, the level of adherence was good. Health professionals therefore need a greater focus in the monitoring the involvement of patients with oral treatment regimens. Patients with lesser degrees of dyspnea had greater compliance.

Segundo o Instituto Nacional do Câncer, o câncer de mama é o tipo de câncer que mais acomete as mulheres em todo o mundo, tanto em países em desenvolvimento quanto em países desenvolvidos. Para o Brasil, em 2014, foram esperados 57.120 casos novos de câncer de mama, com um risco estimado de 56,09 casos a cada 100 mil mulheres, o que corresponde a 20,8%. Com isso os objetivos propostos foram analisar a qualidade de vida de mulheres em tratamento de câncer de mama, identificar fatores correlacionados ao impacto na qualidade de vida vivenciada por estas mulheres e quantificar o índice geral de QV de mulheres em tratamento de câncer de mama. Foi realizada uma pesquisa de campo em um Hospital de referência ao tratamento de câncer no município de Campos dos Goytacazes, com 29 mulheres com diagnóstico de câncer de mama. A coleta de dados foi feita a partir de um questionário para qualidade de vida (EORTC – QLQ C30 e EORTC – H & N35), já validados. Os resultados demonstram que o Estado Geral de Saúde atingiu uma média de 73,1, então podemos considerar que as pacientes consideram sua Qualidade de Vida como satisfatória, visto que aproxima-se do 100 (escore máximo). Desta forma, torna-se evidente a adesão ao tratamento proposto e o impacto de forma positiva, vivenciados por estas pacientes.
