Resumo: | Introduction: Radiotherapy is one of the most widely used treatment modality in patients with head and neck cancer, but adverse effects are common in most patients. Objective: To conduct an updated review of the scientific literature to verify the impact of radiotherapy on the salivary glands and taste buds of patients undergoing treatment for head and neck cancer, and to evaluate the efficacy of treatment with low-power laser therapy in an attempt to reduce signs and symptoms related to changes in such structures. Material and Methods: This was a bibliographic research with information collection in the PubMed database. Articles were selected that treated patients diagnosed with head and neck cancer who were or would have been treated with radiotherapy, published between 2000 and 2019. Results: A great impact on the quality of life of radiotherapy patients was observed, since treatment causes damage to taste buds and salivary glands, and may be reversible or not. The degree of commitment and the time that these organs develop their basic functions were not well clarified due to the lack of standardization in the choices of the methods for research. Conclusion: Low intensity laser has been shown to be effective in controlling hyposalivation and dysgeusia in most studies, but more research is needed to prove its benefits, so that in the future it can be an ally in the prevention and control of consequences from radiotherapy. |

Objetivo: Realizar uma revisão atualizada da literatura científica para verificar o impacto da radioterapia nas glândulas salivares e papilas gustativas de pacientes em tratamento para neoplasias de cabeça e pescoço, e avaliar a eficácia do tratamento com laserterapia de baixa potência na tentativa de redução dos sinais e sintomas relacionados às alterações de tais estruturas. Materiais e Métodos: Tratou-se de uma pesquisa bibliográfica na base de dados PubMed. Foram selecionados artigos que tratavam de pacientes diagnosticados com câncer de cabeça e pescoço que estavam ou já teriam sido tratados com radioterapia, publicados entre os anos 2000 e 2019. Resultados: Observou-se um grande impacto na qualidade de vida de pacientes, já que a radioterapia gera danos as papilas gustativas e as glândulas salivares, podendo ser reversíveis ou não. O grau de comprometimento e o tempo que esses órgãos voltam a desenvolver suas funções de base não ficaram bem esclarecidas. Conclusão: O laser de baixa intensidade mostrou ser eficaz no controle da hipossalivação e da disgeusia na maioria dos estudos, porém são necessárias mais pesquisas que comprovem seus benefícios, a fim de que futuramente este possa ser um aliado na prevenção e controle das consequências advindas da radioterapia.Editora UFJF2020-07-28info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionArtRevLitapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufjf.br/index.php/hurevista/article/view/2917110.34019/1982-8047.2020.v46.29171HU Revista; v. 46 (2020); 1-81982-80470103-3123reponame:HU Revista (Online)instname:Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora (UFJF)instacron:UFJFporhttps://periodicos.ufjf.br/index.php/hurevista/article/view/29171/20776Copyright (c) 2020 Genielle Luiza Pereira, Manuela Lima Barros de Oliveira, Fernanda Mombrini Pigatti, Francielle Silvestre Vernerinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessPereira, Genielle LuizaLima Barros de Oliveira, ManuelaMombrini Pigatti, FernandaVerner, Francielle Silvestre2020-11-20T19:40:18Zoai:periodicos.ufjf.br:article/29171Revistahttps://periodicos.ufjf.br/index.php/hurevistaPUBhttps://periodicos.ufjf.br/index.php/hurevista/oairevista.hurevista@ufjf.edu.br1982-80470103-3123opendoar:2020-11-20T19:40:18HU Revista (Online) - Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora (UFJF)false |
