Resumo: | OBJECTIVE: this prospective study aimed to assess the quality of life related to health (QLRH) of patients with lung cancer after chemotherapy treatment. METHOD: The QLRH was assessed using the questionnaires Quality-of-Life Questionnaire-Core 30 (QLQ-C30) and Lung Cancer Module (LC13), version 3.0. RESULTS: the sample was made up of 11 women and 19 men, with an average age of 68 years (51-87 years). After the chemotherapy treatment, the authors observed a clinically-relevant improvement in general quality of life, as well as in the symptoms of dyspnea, insomnia, hemoptysis, cough, thoracic pain, pain in the arm/shoulder, and financial difficulty. There was a worsening on the functional scale which assesses role performance and symptoms of fatigue, nausea and vomiting, sensory neuropathy, pain in other parts, constipation, loss of appetite and alopecia. CONCLUSION: although the patients have an improvement of their QLRH and symptoms related to the lung cancer after the chemotherapy treatment, there was a worsening of the symptoms which resulted from the toxicity of the chemotherapy medications. |

OBJETIVO: estudio prospectivo con objetivo de evaluar la calidad de vida relacionada a la salud (CVRS) de pacientes con cáncer de pulmón después de tratamiento de quimioterapia. MÉTODO: la CVRS fue evaluada por los cuestionarios Quality-of-Life Questionnaire-Core 30 (QLQ-C30) y Lung Cancer Module (LC13), versión 3.0. RESULTADOS: la muestra estuvo compuesta por 11 mujeres y 19 hombres, con promedio de edad de 68 años (51-87 años). Después del tratamiento de quimioterapia, observamos una mejoría clínicamente relevante de la calidad de vida general, así como en los síntomas de disnea, insomnio, hemoptisis, tos, dolor torácico, dolor en el brazo/hombro y dificultad financiera. Hubo empeoramiento en la escala funcional que evalúa el desempeño de papel y de los síntomas de fatiga, náusea y vómito, neuropatía sensorial, dolor extra-torácico, constipación, pérdida de apetito y alopecia. CONCLUSÍON: los pacientes presentaron mejoría de la CVRS y de los síntomas relacionados al cáncer de pulmón después del tratamiento de quimioterapia, entretanto hubo un empeoramiento de los síntomas provenientes de la toxicidad de los medicamentos de la quimioterapia. OBJETIVO: estudo prospectivo, com o objetivo de avaliar a Qualidade de Vida Relacionada à Saúde de pacientes com câncer de pulmão, após tratamento quimioterápico.
