Objectives: to analyze Brazilian scientific production on patient access to the oncology network under the “Sixty-Day Law”. Methods: integrative review of the literature in the databases Lilacs, PubMed and Scielo. The descriptors used were: neoplasms, health services accessibility, early detection of cancer. Articles published from 2015 to March 2019 were included. Results: 17 articles were analyzed and four themes emerged: inequality in access; qualification of Primary Care professionals; time as a determinant factor; information system as limiting factor. Conclusions: the access to the oncology network is unequal and there are several barriers faced by the users. A continuing education of health professionals is necessary to implement preventive strategies. Treatment initiation is late, showing non-compliance with the law. The health care network is highly fragmented, there is lack of coordination between the services and, consequently, there is a lack of patient follow-up.
This study aimed at understanding the meaning of chemotherapeutic treatment for adolescents with cancer. It is a qualitative study using Alfred Schütz's social phenomenology as a framework. Seven adolescents were interviewed. Four themes emerged from the analysis of their discourses: Impact of the disease on their lives; The discomfort of treatment;Coping strategies and Projection to the future without the disease. The statements of the adolescents revealed that the experience with the chemotherapeutic treatment affects several possibilities of being-in-the-world-with-the-others. The healthcare team plays a fundamental role in the lives of these adolescents, and this relationship goes beyond the scientific level. Descritores: Adolescente; Neoplasias; Quimioterapia; Pesquisa Qualitativa. De la omnipotencia al desgaste: las perspectivas del adolescente en tratamiento de quimioterapiaEste estudio tuvo como objetivo comprender el significado del tratamiento quimioterápico para el adolescente acometido por cáncer. Se trata de investigación de naturaleza cualitativa, utilizando el referencial fenomenológico social de Alfred Schütz. Fueron entrevistados siete adolescentes. Del análisis de los discursos, emergieron cuatro temas: el impacto de la enfermedad en su vida; la incomodidad del tratamiento; las estrategias de enfrentamiento; y la proyección para el futuro sin la enfermedad. La declaración de los adolescentes reveló que la experiencia con el tratamiento quimioterápico afecta las varias posibilidades del ser-en-el-mundo-con-los-otros. El equipo que cuida es parte fundamental en la vida de esos adolescentes, cuya relación ultrapasa lo científico.
