Este estudo qualitativo objetivou compreender crenças e valores estabelecidos na relação entre câncer de laringe e tabagismo utilizando a estratégia do Discurso do Sujeito Coletivo. Participaram três pacientes, três profissionais de saúde e três familiares. Os dados foram coletados por meio de entrevistas semi-estruturadas. A análise identificou as categorias: história do tabagismo; busca por ajuda para sua doença; saúde, câncer de laringe e tabaco; cuidado familiar e cuidado profissional. O estudo demonstrou a necessidade de ampliar o foco de atuação dos profissionais acrescentando na formação desses trabalhadores paradigmas das ciências humanas visando contribuir para mudanças comportamentais no que diz respeito às orientações de saúde sobre os hábitos e/ou estilos de vida dos usuários dos serviços de saúde e seus familiares.
This initial experience with (CDDP-LITT) indicates both safety and therapeutic potential for palliation of advanced head and neck cancer. However, safety and feasibility must be confirmed by longer follow-up and further escalation of CDDP doses in a Phase I study to determine maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and demonstrate tangible benefits for patients.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate an educational program based on the principles of self-management with a conventional educational program through quality of life, anxiety and depression instruments within 12 months of starting cancer treatment. METHOD An experimental, randomized, controlled study conducted with head and neck cancer patients treated at a university hospital in the city of São Paulo, Brazil. Patients were randomly divided into two groups: the control group submitted to the conventional educational plan, and the experimental group submitted to the educational plan for self-management. Descriptive and analytical statistics were used for the analyzes using the t-test, Fischer’s exact test and Repeated Measures ANOVA. RESULTS Twenty (20) patients were selected. Most participants were male, in advanced stages of disease and undergoing three therapeutic modalities. The control group showed a gradual decrease in quality of life scores during treatment, while the experimental group progressively increased. The correlation was significant between the presence of anxiety and depression symptoms and poor quality of life. Patients in the control group had a significant worsening in social/family well-being (P = 0.02) and the prevalence of additional head and neck cancer-related additional concerns (P = 0.01), while the experimental group had reduced anxiety symptoms (P = 0.001) and improved emotional well-being (P = 0.01). CONCLUSION The educational intervention based on building self-management skills favored quality of life and reduced anxiety and depression. Brazilian Registry of Clinical Trials (RBR 2q53ct).
