One of the possible courses of cancer treatment is teletherapy, and one of the most important adverse side effects are skin reactions, an ailment more commonly called radiodermatitis. The main purpose of this study is to analyze knowledge of the evidence about topical products used in the prevention of radiodermatitis, to support care delivery to women with breast cancer during teletherapy. The research method used here is the comprehensive literature review. Four databases were used to select the bibliography. The sample consists of 15 articles. The data shows that, among the topical products analyzed here, Calendula, corticosteroids and Xclair have shown significant protective effects, underlining their actions. The lack of articles published in Brazil highlights the need for further research in this area, seeking better care quality through the use of products with scientifically proven efficiency. fundamente o cuidado em teleterapia direcionado a mulheres com câncer de mama.

“…Besides the widely spread agents mentioned above there are also topical agents rather rarely used but showing encouraging results with potential benefits in clinical testing like hyaluronic acid [18], urea [19] or silymarin [20]. On the other side there are even more approaches with negative results or a very limited level of evidence like biafine [21], sucralfate [22], different dressings [23,24] or LED photomodulation [25] to name only a few.…”

Radiodermatitis is a very common side effect in cancer treatment often leading to therapy delays and diminution of the patients' health state and quality of life. Despite a wide range of supportive strategies, radiodermatitis is still a major problem necessitating further improvements in prevention and treatment. Lactokine is a milk-based protein shown to assist in the reduction of skin redness. The treatment is a unique FDA-approved skin care system (R1 and R2). In this case presentation we describe the prophylactic use of R1 and R2 in a 63-year-old, female patient with a squamous cell carcinoma of the hypopharynx undergoing a platin-based chemoradiation. The application was feasible and safe and the patient developed only a slight radiodermatitis. To our knowledge this is the first report in the literature on the prophylactic use of R1 and R2. Further evidence will be provided by a prospective, clinical trial we have launched (CREAM-1; study registration in ISRCTN Registry: ISRCTN87302591). We also review the literature to give an overview about common strategies in the management of radiodermatitis.

El objetivo fue operar el proceso de enfermería propuesto por Betty Neuman para hombres con cáncer de laringe para la identificación de los factores de estrés y patrones de enfrentamiento desencadenados en la vivencia de la neoplasia maligna. Se trata de un estudio exploratorio, descriptivo, cualitativo, se utilizó como referencial teórico el Modelo de Betty Neuman con 30 hombres sometidos a tratamiento de cáncer de laringe, que pertenecen a un grupo de apoyo, que se encuentra en São Paulo, Brasil. Los clientes han proporcionado algunos diagnósticos de enfermería causados por factores de estrés identificados y relacionados con el tratamiento de cáncer de laringe. A partir de esto, se elaboraron los objetivos y resultados de enfermería que permitieron hacer frente a los factores estresantes y la restauración de las líneas de defensa, obteniéndose intervenciones satisfactorias para minimizar el estrés experimentado. Se encontró que las dificultades de tratamiento del cáncer de laringe se pueden resolver con una práctica de enfermería centrada en la atención y el diálogo, basándose en un método científico adecuado.
