“…One important datum found was that those patients who had a greater number of interventions (chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and surgery) had a significantly larger proportion of symptoms characteristic of NP. This result shows that the combination of interventions could indeed increase the risk of development of NP 8,[16][17][18] . It is well known that the appearance of peripheral neuropathy, induced by chemotherapy, is affected by the dose, the cumulative effect, and by the class of chemotherapeutic agent used, especially when the chemical used in chemotherapy is an alkaloid, a taxane, or a platinum complex 8,10,[15][16][17] .…”

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the prevalence and factors associated with neuropathic pain in cancer patients METHODS: A prospective cross-sectional study conducted from August 2016 to July 2017, with 267 cancer patients above 18 years of age, with pain. Diabetic patients and patients with previous chronic pain unrelated to the current neoplasia were excluded. The demographic and disease information was obtained from the medical records and directly with the patient. The Douleur Neuropathique en 4 questions questionnaire and the numeric pain scale were later applied. RESULTS: The prevalence of neuropathic pain in the study population was 53%. The average age of patients was 55.3 years. Of the 267 patients, 76% were female. There was no significant difference in the occurrence of neuropathic pain among gender, age, histological type of cancer and type of treatment. Of the patients, 35.5% who underwent chemotherapy had neuropathic pain, and there was no statistical difference between the types of chemotherapy performed. Twenty-four patients who reported pain at the radiotherapy site were diagnosed with neuropathic pain. Of the total, 63 patients who reported pain at the surgical site, 36 were classified with neuropathic pain. An increasing trend of neuropathic pain was observed when treatments were associated. The intensity of this pain was reported as moderate to severe by the majority of patients in the various types of treatment: chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and surgery. CONCLUSION: When compared to other studies, a high prevalence of neuropathic pain was observed in more than half of the patients evaluated.

“…The antineoplastic agents used in the studies in this review (Oxaliplatin, Cisplatin, Vincristine and Bortezomib) affect the nervous system differently, and all can reach the ganglion cells of the dorsal roots to the distal axons 27 . The use of different chemotherapeutic agents across the studies included in this review may explain some of the variability in the findings 28 .…”

Objective: to analyze and synthesize knowledge about the effect of acupuncture on chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy symptoms in adults with cancer. Method: the method used was a Systematic Review. Potential articles were identified by searching in the PubMed of National Library of Medicine, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, Embase, Cochrane Central and Scopus. Following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses strategy, 607 articles were identified. After removing the duplicates, all titles and abstracts were reviewed, and seven articles were selected for full review. After the full review, five studies were selected for inclusion. Results: of the five articles included, four were cohort studies and one was a quasi-experimental study. All articles showed that acupuncture was associated with an improvement in the peripheral neuropathy, but the type of protocol, use of medications, time of treatment, and different outcome measures made it difficult to compare the studies. Conclusion: the use of acupuncture appears to be associated with an improvement in the symptoms of chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy and has no side effects. In order to improve the evidence about benefits associated with acupuncture, more experimental studies using both subjective and objective measures are needed.

“…Os principais efeitos adversos são náuseas, vômito, mucosite, alopecia, mielotoxicidade, diarreia e Neuropatia Periférica Induzida por Quimioterapia (NPIQ). A NPIQ é definida como uma complicação neurológica comum e potencialmente limitante no tratamento oncológico e é caracterizada como uma polineuropatia sensitivo-motora simétrica, bilateral, geralmente distal, de caráter progressivo, podendo ser aguda ou crônica (SIMÃO et al, 2015;CAPONERO, MONTARROYOS;TAHAMTANI, 2016).…”

Pressure injury develops from prolonged pressure on the surface of the skin or soft tissues, making it difficult or impeding tissue perfusion, causing underlying tissue damage and especially bone prominence. The purpose of the present study was to raise risk factors associated with the occurrence of pressure injury and the possibility of nurses acting on their prevention according to the literature. DEVELOPMENT: The present study uses as integrative literature review method, performed through a search in the Virtual Health Library (VHL) in the databases of Lilacs and Medline and Scielo (Scientific Electronic Library Online) using the intersections of the descriptors "Pressure Injury", "Incidence", "Hospital". For the construction of this article, the following question was applied: what are the risk factors for the occurrence of pressure injury in the hospital environment and the nurse's role in relation to this problem? Among the main factors associated with the occurrence of pressure injury described in the analyzed studies were: skin exposure, excessive humidity, pressure on prominence, loss of sensation, immobility, friction and shear. In addition, studies have shown that the incidence of such injuries occurs mainly in critically ill male patients over the age of 60 and in longer hospitalizations. CONCLUSION: This study presented the risk factors for the occurrence of pressure injury, contributing to the understanding of the multicausality in the onset of this condition. It was found that some care can reduce the appearance of lesions, especially when directed to the environment, to extrinsic factors.
