Resumo: Childhood cancer is defined as any malignant neoplasm occurring in individuals under fifteen years of age. Leukemia is the most common type in this group. Acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) occurs more often in boys than in girls, with a ratio of 1.2:1. Approximately 50% of pediatric cancer patients report eating disorders, including loss of appetite, altered taste, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea, among others. Determination of detection thresholds for basic tastes helps understand the aversion to food and eating preferences in children with cancer. The purpose of the current study was to identify the detection thresholds for basic tastes according to the gender of children with ALL on chemotherapy. Children from three oncological institutions in São Paulo participated: ITACI/ICR/HC/ FMUSP, IOP-GRAAC, and the A. C. Camargo Hospital. The sample included 40 children from 6 to 15 years of age, (21 males and 19 females), following the GBTLI 99 treatment protocol. The sensitivity threshold test was applied, using paired samples of six increasing concentrations for each taste. Non-parametric tests were applied using the SPSS program. No association was observed between gender and detection threshold for basic tastes.

A leucemia é o tipo mais comum nesta população e a linfóide aguda (LLA) é mais comum em meninos do que em meninas, numa proporção de (1,2:1). Aproximadamente 50% dos pacientes com câncer reportam anormalidades no comportamento alimentar por redução no apetite, dificuldades mecânicas, alterações no paladar, náuseas, vômitos, diarréias, dentre outras. A determinação dos limiares de detecção dos gostos básicos contribui para compreender as aversões e as preferências alimentares das crianças portadoras de câncer. O objetivo do estudo foi identificar os limiares de detecção para os gostos básicos, por sexo, de crianças portadoras de LLA em tratamento quimioterápico. Participaram crianças de três instituições desta especialidade em São Paulo: ITACI/ICR/HC/FMUSP, IOP - GRAAC e o Hospital A.C. Camargo. A pesquisa foi realizada envolvendo 40 crianças, de 6 a 15 anos, sendo 21 do sexo masculino e 19 do feminino, que seguiam o protocolo de tratamento GBTLI-99. Aplicou-se o teste de sensibilidade de Threshold, utilizando amostras pareadas, em séries crescentes de seis concentrações distintas para cada gosto. Foram aplicados testes não-paramétricos, utilizando-se o programa SPSS. A variável sexo não mostrou diferenças significativas em relação à análise dos limiares de detecção dos gostos básicos.INCA2007-09-28info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionArtigos, Avaliado pelos paresapplication/pdfhttps://rbc.inca.gov.br/index.php/revista/article/view/179610.32635/2176-9745.RBC.2007v53n3.1796Revista Brasileira de Cancerologia; Vol. 53 No. 3 (2007): July/Aug./Sept.; 297-303Revista Brasileira de Cancerologia; Vol. 53 Núm. 3 (2007): jul./ago/sept.; 297-303Revista Brasileira de Cancerologia; v. 53 n. 3 (2007): jul./ago./set.; 297-3032176-9745reponame:Revista Brasileira de Cancerologia (Online)instname:Instituto Nacional de Câncer José Alencar Gomes da Silva (INCA)instacron:INCAporhttps://rbc.inca.gov.br/index.php/revista/article/view/1796/1078Elman, Ilana Pinto e Silva, Maria Elisabeth Machado info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2021-11-29T20:25:29Zoai:rbc.inca.gov.br:article/1796Revistahttps://rbc.inca.gov.br/index.php/revistaPUBhttps://rbc.inca.gov.br/index.php/revista/oairbc@inca.gov.br0034-71162176-9745opendoar:2021-11-29T20:25:29Revista Brasileira de Cancerologia (Online) - Instituto Nacional de Câncer José Alencar Gomes da Silva (INCA)false
