RESUMO

CONTEXT: Several instruments have been developed to assess the symptom burden and fatigue produced by cancer and its treatment. However, little research has been conducted in Latin American Spanish-speaking patients. OBJECTIVES: The aim of the study was to assess the psychometric properties of the Spanish versions of two commonly used patient-reported outcome measures, the Memorial Symptom Assessment Scale-Short Form (MSAS-SF), and the fatigue subscale of the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-General (FACT-G), the FACIT-Fatigue. METHODS: A classic psychometric approach was followed to assess the reliability and validity of the instruments. Responsiveness to change and effect sizes were calculated. RESULTS: The translated version of the MSAS-SF proved to be comprehensible and easy to complete. Cronbach alpha reliability coefficients ranged from acceptable to excellent for the MSAS-SF subscale scores and the FACIT-Fatigue. There was evidence of convergent validity between the physical and the psychological subscales of the instruments. The MSAS-SF could discriminate among the known groups according to Eastern Cooperative Oncology performance status and level of anemia, and showed responsiveness to change of symptom burden at two times of treatment. CONCLUSION: The study showed that both the MSAS-SF and the FACIT-Fatigue have good reliability and validity for use with patients with cancer in Uruguay. When used simultaneously, these instruments may provide a complete picture of the impact of cancer and its treatment on the patient's quality of life.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The FACT-G has gone through many validation studies. However, little research has been conducted in South American Spanish speaking patients. The present study aimed to evaluate the FACT-G Spanish Version 4 in Uruguayan cancer patients. METHODS: The data analyzed were collected from 309 patients, with various tumor sites, at different stages of disease and receiving different treatments. RESULTS: Reliability was evaluated using Cronbach's coefficient alpha and showed high internal consistency for each of the subscales and its total scale (range =.78 -.91) of the FACT-G. The FACT-G total score also showed significant mean differences among known groups (performance status, in vs. outpatients) when tested by ANOVA and t-test. When the tumor stage (Local and Regional vs. Metastatic disease) was used as a clinical anchor, the FACT-G total score, the Physical Well-being (PWB), and Functional Well-being (FWB) subscale scores showed mean differences, ranging from 5 to 10 points in a scale from 0-108 (effect sizes = 0.30-0.60). Item response theory (IRT)-based evaluation using mean square fit statistics (.60-1.4) criteria showed that only two items misfit: "Estoy satisfecho(a) con mi vida sexual" (I am satisfied with my sex life) and "Estoy satisfecho(a) de cómo estoy enfrentando mi enfermedad" (I am satisfied with how I am coping with my illness). CONCLUSION: The results indicated that, using both traditional and IRT approaches, the Spanish FACT-G has good reliability and validity to be used as a QOL instrument among Uruguayan cancer patients.

RESUMO

Se presentan los primeros resultados obtenidos con la linfocentellografia empleando 99mTc coloidal en la identificación de los grupos ganglionares de drenaje de los melanomas del tronco. Se plantea la utilización del procedimiento para decidir que grupo ganglionar corresponderia extirpar, evitándose así un cuádruple vaciamiento ganglionar o uno más limitado pero elegido a ciegas

RESUMO

Los autores presentan su experiencia a propósito de 34 vaciamientos ganglionares axilares realizados como operación aisladas en el tratamiento de metástasis linfáticas de una variedad de tumores, en especial melanomas. Enfatizan especialmente la importancia de ciertos aspectos técnicos - incisión transversa de piel, respeto anatómico y funcional del pectoral mayor, conservación de la indemnidad de los nervios del serrato mayor y del dorsal ancho, drenaje cerrado y aspirativo - para disminuir al mínimo la morbilidad postoperatoria
