ABSTRACT

O câncer infanto-juvenil corresponde a um grupo de várias doenças que têm em comum a proliferação descontrolada de células anormais e que pode ocorrer em qualquer órgão em fase de desenvolvimento. Assim, o objetivo deste estudo foi descrever o perfil clínico e epidemiológico de crianças e adolescentes atendidos na UNACON durante o ano de 2017. Trata-se de um estudo descritivo, de corte transversal, desenvolvido a partir da análise de 20 prontuários de crianças e adolescentes com câncer. Foram coletados dados sobre as características sociodemográficas e clínicas-epidemiológicas dos pacientes. Os dados foram digitados, revisados e analisados no programa estatístico SPSS, na versão 21.0. Foram calculadas as frequências e a média das variáveis de interesse. Observou-se que a maioria dos pacientes tinha de um a três anos (45,0%), era do sexo masculino (60,0%), pardos (70,0%), com renda familiar de até um salário mínimo (60,0%) e metade procedia do interior do estado (50,0%), sendo o tipo de câncer mais diagnosticado a leucemia linfoide aguda (45,0%) e o principal tratamento utilizado a quimioterapia (95,0%), causando principalmente alopecia (100%), algia (100%), náuseas (65,0%), palidez (40,0%) e febre (25,0%) nos pacientes. Foi possível concluir que conhecer o perfil pode contribuir para a tomada de decisões da equipe gestora e profissionais de saúde da unidade no estabelecimento de medidas assistenciais aos pacientes, visando um atendimento mais humanizado, voltado para as necessidades sociodemográficas e levando em consideração as características clínicas-epidemiológicas desse grupo populacional.


Child and youth cancer corresponds to a group of several diseases that have in common the uncontrolled proliferation of abnormal cells and that can occur in any organ during the development phase. Thus, the purpose of this study was to describe the clinical and epidemiological profile of children and adolescents cared at UNACON during 2017. It is a descriptive, cross-sectional study developed from the analysis of 20 records of children and adolescents with cancer. Data on the sociodemographic and clinical-epidemiological characteristics of the patients were collected. The data were entered, reviewed and analyzed using the SPSS statistical program, version 21.0. The frequencies and the average of the variables of interest were calculated. It could be observed that the majority of patients were aged between one and three years (45.0%), male (60.0%), brown (70.0%), with a family income of up to one minimum wage (60.0%) and half (50.0%) came from the interior of the state, with acute lymphoid leukemia (45.0%) being the most frequent diagnosis, and chemotherapy (95.0%) the most frequent treatment used, causing mainly alopecia (100%), pain (100%), nausea (65.0%), pallor (40.0%) and fever (25.0%) in patients. It was possible to conclude that knowing the profile can contribute to the decision-making of the management team and health professionals at the health facility in the establishment of care measures for patients, aiming at a more humanized care, focused on sociodemographic needs and taking into account the clinical-epidemiological characteristics of this population group.
