To elaborate the theoretical framework, a bibliographic research was carried out, referring to the study about the cancer disease, its history and mainly the impacts that the disease and the treatment have on the woman's life, as well as the return to the job market after having won the disease and its control. Thus, according to the results acquired in the documentary data, through the search for scientific articles, in electronic databases in Google Scholar, Scielo, the most important references for the development of the work were selected.

The diagnosis of cancer during pregnancy is considered a delicate situation, because it generates suffering for the patient and family and challenging health professionals because it is a rare event. The work aims to present the pharmacological treatments and conducts adopted in cancer in pregnant women, through articles of case reports. Review: The research was conducted based on searches in the Pubmed and Scielo databases, with the keywords in English, pregnancy, cervical cancer, vulvar cancer, ovarian cancer and endometrial cancer, and their respective terms in Portuguese and Spanish. Being the search period from May 1, 2019 to February 28, 2020, articles published between 2005 to 2019 are considered valid, using abstracts and research results from 8 case reports as inclusion and exclusion criteria. Discussion and final considerations: It suggests that the treatment adopted, follow the same criteria as non-pregnant women, however the little literature makes it difficult to choose the best therapy and demonstrates the need for a multidisciplinary team, as well as the importance of the pharmacist in choosing the most appropriate therapy, according to the pregnant woman's staging.

Uso de antimicrobianos em pacientes oncológicos em cuidados paliativos
Resumo:
Introduction: Cancer is characterized by disorderly cell proliferation of genetic origin and has been a challenge for medicine for many centuries. Therapeutic approaches depending on the physiological reserves and the type of cancer that affects the patient can compromise important organic systems, and some patients do not respond adequately to the treatment, initiating palliative care. The use of antimicrobials at this stage is questionable due to the real benefits to patients when considering only increased survival. However, the evidence points to the use of antimicrobials in order to improve the quality of life of patients, with symptom control and the promotion of comfort. Objective of this work was to carry out a systematic review of the literature on the use of antimicrobials in cancer patients in palliative care and its adverse reactions and benefits for comfort and treatment of symptoms. Review and discussion: International literature review study in international databases (PubMed and ScienceDirect) by 2 independent researchers with the proposal to approach the theme in depth and respond to the proposed objective. From the adopted methodology, 23 articles were selected for the preparation of the review article and adverse reactions are reported in studies related to the use of antimicrobials in cancer patients, however, they were not described as the main objective of the studies and from the point of view of promoting comfort and symptom control the use of antimicrobials in the studies showed favorable results, however, with subjective responses that demonstrate the need for protocols and evaluation scores. Final considerations: Patients in palliative care and use of antimicrobials have important dilemmas in the management of end-of-life care that need to be thoroughly evaluated in relation to the benefits of the use and the presence of adverse reactions that can cause losses at this critical moment.
Keywords: antibiotic, antimicrobial, cancer, infection, palliative care, adverse reaction.

Determinação da frequência de micronúcleos em células esfoliativas da mucosa oral em indivíduos fumantes e etilistas
Resumo:
Smoking has been described as the main risk factor in the development of malignant and premalignant lesions in the oral mucosa, and alcohol consumption, on the other hand, is cited as a strong potential agent in triggering cancerous lesions. The study aimed to evaluate the frequency of micronuclei in exfoliative cells of the oral mucosa of smokers and alcoholics, comparing them with non-exposed individuals. Forty volunteers were selected and distributed in 4 groups containing individuals exposed to smoking and alcohol and not exposed. To determine the micronucleus frequency, the micronucleus assay technique was used in oral mucosal cells. The cells examined were collected using cytobrush brush and stained with Feulgen/Fast-green techniques. In the present study, the frequency of micronuclei in the groups exposed to tobacco and alcohol genotoxicity was significantly higher (P < 0.01) when compared to the control group. The association between alcohol and tobacco increased the appearance of micronucleus in the continuous users of these two substances (P < 0.05). Smokers and consumers of alcoholic beverages present higher amounts of cytotoxic damage to oral mucosa cells caused by the action of carcinogens present in cigarette smoke and alcohol.
Keywords: micronucleus, genotoxicity, cancer, smoking, alcohol.
