“…For each new translation, a series of cultural changes and adaptations are made in order to develop a version specific to a given population and its characteristics 16 17 This specificity justifies the need for translations and cultural adaptations, considering that a given topic can elicit different answers and different effects because of cultural differences 10 …”

“…The core questionnaire is the EORTC Quality of Life Questionnaire Core 30 (QLQ-C30), which includes five functional scales, three symptom scales, and a global health and QoL scale 9 . However, the use of the EORTC QLQ-C30 prompted the need for instruments that could assess the specificity and particularities of each type of cancer more specifically, which resulted in a multitude of modules for different types of cancer 10 . One of these modules is known as the 29-item QLQ-Lung Cancer Module (QLQ-LC29), the objective of which is to assess QoL in patients with lung cancer 11 …”

Objective: To translate the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) 29-item Quality of Life Questionnaire-Lung Cancer Module (QLQ-LC29, developed for the assessment of quality of life in patients with lung cancer) to Portuguese, conducting a pilot study of the Portuguese-language version and adapting it for use in Brazil. Methods: For the translation, cultural adaptation, and pilot testing of the QLQ-LC29, we followed the guidelines established by the EORTC. The translation (English → Portuguese) and back-translation (Portuguese → English) were both carried out by translators, working independently, who were native speakers of one language and fluent in the other. After review, a draft version was created for pilot testing in lung cancer patients in Brazil. Results: A total of 15 patients diagnosed with lung cancer completed the Portuguese-language version of the questionnaire. At the end of the process, we conducted a structured interview to identify any patient difficulty in understanding any of the questions. The final versions were sent to the EORTC and were approved. Conclusions: The Portuguese-language version of the EORTC QLQ-LC29 appears to be a useful, important, reliable questionnaire that is a valid tool for assessing quality of life in patients with lung cancer in Brazil.

Introdução: A atuação fonoaudiológica na disfagia decorrente do câncer de esôfago ainda é recente. Não foi encontrado até o momento, estudos que descrevam a atuação fonoaudiológica em pacientes com câncer de esôfago submetidos a radioterapia. Sendo assim, este trabalho teve como objetivo descrever a atuação fonoaudiológica em pacientes com câncer de esôfago, submetidos a tratamento radioterápico com queixa de disfagia. Métodos: Trata-se de uma série de cinco casos, que receberam acompanhamento fonoaudiológico ambulatorial. Os pacientes foram avaliados por meio de avaliação clínica da deglutição, classificação do grau de alteração de deglutição com aplicação de escala visual analógica e protocolos de qualidade de vida utilizados na área da oncologia. Foram submetidos ainda a uma abordagem terapêutica para deglutição. Resultados: Os pacientes obtiveram melhora da deglutição, apresentando, ao término do tratamento, diminuição dos sintomas de disfagia, possibilidade de ingesta de alimentos via oral e melhora da qualidade de vida. Conclusão: A fonoterapia, compreendendo a avaliação clínica da deglutição, seguida de treino da deglutição e exercício miofuncional para abertura do esfíncter esofágico superior (Shaker), auxiliou na reabilitação da disfagia esofágica.
