RESUMO
Nas últimas décadas, a oncologia pediátrica tem demonstrado expressivo sucesso no tratamento do câncer infantojuvenil, com significativo aumento das taxas de cura e sobrevida, principalmente devido ao diagnóstico precoce e à quimioterapia mais eficaz, além do auxílio da radioterapia em determinadas situações. Contudo, os medicamentos que curam o câncer também se comportam como adversários de vários sistemas orgânicos. Os sobreviventes do câncer infantojuvenil são, particularmente, mais vulneráveis às condições crônicas de morbidade relacionadas com os efeitos colaterais do tratamento, especialmente sobre o sistema cardiovascular ­ cardiotoxicidade. Quando não diagnosticados e tratados em tempo hábil, o dano cardiovascular relacionado ao tratamento do câncer poderá tornar-se progressivo e, frequentemente, irreversível. As complicações cardiovasculares lideram as causas de morbidade e mortalidade entre os pacientes oncológicos, depois das complicações relacionadas com o câncer propriamente dito. Estratégias de prevenção e monitoramento efetivo são a chave para um tratamento mais seguro. É incontestável a importância da parceria entre oncologistas pediátricos e cardiologistas pediátricos e o apoio da equipe multiprofissional para atender a crescente demanda dessa população de pacientes, com a finalidade maior da cura com qualidade de vida
ABSTRACT
In recent decades, pediatric oncology has shown good success in the treatment of children and adolescents with cancer, with a significant increase in the rates of cure and survival, mainly due to early diagnosis and more effective chemotherapy drugs, but also with the help of radiotherapy in certain situations. However, drugs that cure cancer also behave as opponents of several organ systems. Survivors of childhood cancer, in particular, are more vulnerable to chronic conditions of morbidity related to side effects of treatment, especially on the Cardiovascular System - Cardiotoxicity. If not diagnosed and treated in a timely manner, cardiovascular damage related to cancer treatment can become progressive and often, irreversible. Cardiovascular complications are the leading causes of morbidity and mortality among cancer patients, after complications related to cancer. Strategies for prevention and effective monitoring are the key to safer treatment. The importance of the partnership between Pediatric oncologists and cardiologists and the multiprofessional team is undeniable, to meet the growing demand of this patient population, with the main purpose of cure with quality of life
