Evidências para a assistência de enfermagem à gestante com câncer de mama: revisão integrativa

Abstract

Objective: To discuss the evidence that the literature presents on the care of pregnant women with diagnosis of breast cancer and the contributions of the Nurse to the health of this group. Method: Integrative review of literature carried out at the bases: Latin American and Caribbean Literature on Health Sciences (LILACS), International Health Sciences Literature (MEDLINE) and Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO). Results: Fifteen articles composed the review. Three categories of discussion were created: 1) Breast cancer: sociodemographic characterization of pregnant women with breast neoplasia; 2) Main diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to breast cancer in pregnant women; 3) Nursing assistance to women with diagnosis of breast cancer in pregnancy. Conclusion: The nurse should be trained to identify the non-physiological changes in the breasts, contributing to early detection of cancer during prenatal consultations. Despite this, few studies have been found that address Nursing Care in this context.
