Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Patient Care
  • Physiopathology

Background:

  • Cancer treatment, including radiotherapy and chemotherapy, causes significant physiological and psychological distress.
  • Aggressive treatment regimens can lead to severe complications affecting multiple body systems.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To elucidate the factors and physiopathological mechanisms behind cancer treatment side effects.
  • To guide preventative measures and optimize nursing care for cancer patients.
  • To provide information for patient and family reintegration during remission.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on cancer treatment side effects.
  • Analysis of physiopathological mechanisms.
  • Identification of key nursing interventions and patient education strategies.

Main Results:

  • Identified physiological consequences include impaired gas exchange, infection risk, nutritional deficits, tissue damage, and sleep disturbances.
  • Psychological impacts encompass anxiety, fear, and altered self-image.
  • Understanding mechanisms aids in prevention and care.

Conclusions:

  • Comprehensive understanding of treatment-induced changes is vital for effective patient management.
  • Targeted nursing interventions and patient education are essential for mitigating side effects and promoting recovery.
  • Support for patient reintegration into normal life during remission is critical.
