“…Morbidity follow-up was done at baseline and yearly. Edema and induration were scored according to DBCG guidelines, following the LENT-SOMA Scale [7]. Due to few grade 2 edema, this was dichotomized into grade 0 or 1-2.…”

“…One study conducted with women less than 7 months after diagnosis found that 17% to 33% experienced body problems some or much of the time . Studies with long‐term breast cancer survivors report that 15% to 30% experience some degree of body image concerns . Taken together, these findings indicate that body image concerns affect substantial numbers of breast and head and neck cancer patients, with these issues persisting into long‐term survivorship.…”

Background Body image is a critical psychosocial issue for cancer patients as they often undergo significant changes to appearance and functioning. In this review article, our primary purpose was to identify empirically-supported approaches to treat body image difficulties of adult cancer patients that can be incorporated into high-quality comprehensive cancer care. Methods We provided an overview of theoretical models of body image relevant to cancer patients, and presented findings from published literature on body image and cancer from 2003–2013. We integrated these data with information from the patient-doctor communication literature to delineate a practical approach for assessing and treating body image concerns of adult cancer patients. Results Body image difficulties were found across patients with diverse cancer sites, and were most prevalent in the immediate postoperative and treatment period. Age, body mass index, and specific cancer treatments have been identified as potential risk factors for body image disturbance in cancer patients. Current evidence supports the use of time-limited cognitive-behavioral therapy interventions for addressing these difficulties. Other intervention strategies also show promise but require further study. We identified potential indicators of body image difficulties to alert healthcare professionals when to refer patients for psychosocial care, and proposed a framework for approaching conversations about body image that can be used by the oncologic treatment team. Conclusions Body image issues affect a wide array of cancer patients. Providers can use available evidence combined with information from the healthcare communication literature to develop practical strategies for treating body image concerns of cancer patients.

“…Si la reconstrucción mamaria se efectúa en la misma cirugía de la mastectomía, hay menos problema en la IC (Rincón et al, 2012). Sobre los resultados de la reconstrucción, son las jóvenes quienes reportan estar más satisfechas con los aspectos cosméticos (Lyngholm, Christiansen, Damsgaard, & Overgaard, 2013), pero no se encuentra una clara mejoría en cuanto a la imagen corporal (Rincón et al, 2012) o al funcionamiento sexual (Bober et al, 2013;Rosenberg et al, 2013), aunque sí mejora su percepción de ser atractivas (Moniz, Fonseca, Fernandes, & Oliveira, 2011). De manera contradictoria, incluso se ha encontrado que la IC se deteriora más si se efectúa la reconstrucción tiempo después de haberse efectuado la mastectomía radical (Falk et al, 2010), dadas las expectativas estéticas generadas.…”

“…El disfrute de la relación sexual no está en relación al tipo de cirugía mamaria, sino por la valoración o evaluación de la IC y su preocupación por seguir siendo atractivas sexualmente, especialmente si se consideran estar bajo el estigma de padecer cáncer, aun incluso después de haber terminado el tratamiento aversivo (Gonçalves et al, 2014;Lyngholm et al, 2013;Rincón et al, 2012). En general, al inicio puede haber dificultades en la sexualidad de las mujeres con CaMa (Barsotti & Meloni, 2011;Moreira et al, 2011), la pérdida del cabello y cambios de peso les hace sentirse menos atractivas (Vázquez-Ortiz et al, 2010) y con menos deseo sexual (Fobair et al, 2006), pero también ellas manifiestan que cambian sus hábitos para vestirse, al evitar mostrarse desnudas (Lyngholm et al, 2013). Su inquietud por la desfiguración física y la alteración de la intimidad sexual las lleva a creerse menos valoradas, con miedo al rechazo de su pareja, quejándose de que les dejan de acariciar el pecho por ellos (Vázquez-Ortiz et al, 2010).…”

RESUMENLa imagen corporal (IC) es la representación subjetiva de la percepción, evaluación, valoración y vivencia del cuerpo que proporciona el sentido de sí mismo como una totalidad. Es afectada cuando existen enfermedades oncológicas que implican cambios corporales. En esta revisión sistemática se identificaron instrumentos susceptibles de usarse en Latinoamérica para evaluar la IC de mujeres con cáncer de mama, analizando 34 artículos publicados en inglés y español del periodo 2004-2014 en bases de libre acceso. Instrumentos originados en Europa y Estados Unidos, tales como la Escala de Imagen Corporal de Hopwood y el módulo QLQ BR 23, desarrollado por la Organización Europea para Investigación y Tratamiento en Cáncer (EORTC), con buenas características psicométricas de validez y confiabilidad, se han utilizado en población latinoamericana. Se valora cómo la IC de mujeres con cáncer de mama afecta su sexualidad, las relaciones de pareja, su autoestima, los estilos de afrontamiento y calidad de vida.Palabras clave cáncer; evaluación; imagen corporal; instrumentos psicométricos.
