Objetivo: identificar e mapear estratégias preconizadas para prevenção de linfedema em pacientes submetidas a esvaziamento axilar em tratamento do câncer de mama. Método: revisão de escopo realizada em agosto de 2019 considerando oito bases de dados e oito bases da literatura cinzenta. A amostra final foi composta por 13 artigos, selecionados de acordo com critérios de elegibilidade. Resultados: os estudos foram predominantemente randomizados, com nível de evidência 1a, e realizados na América do Norte. Medidas preventivas tradicionalmente utilizadas, como limitar exercícios com carga ou evitar punção venosa e aferição de pressão arterial, não se demonstraram efetivas em nenhum dos estudos encontrados. Foi evidenciado como medida preventiva o controle dos fatores de risco modificáveis associados ao linfedema: IMC elevado (> 25 kg/m2) e quimioterapia administrada no braço ipsilateral. Conclusões: não foram apresentadas evidências significativas para medidas cotidianamente preconizadas na prevenção do linfedema, e fatores de risco modificáveis se destacaram entre os riscos para seu desenvolvimento.
ABSTRACT
Objective: to identify and map strategies recommended for prevention of lymphedema in patients after axillary dissection during breast cancer treatment. Method: this scoping review was conducted in August 2019 across eight databases and eight gray literature data sources. The final sample comprised 13 journal articles that met eligibility criteria. Results: the studies, most of which were randomized, conducted in North America, and offered Level 1a evidence. None of the studies reviewed found traditionally employed preventive measures, such as limiting weight training or avoiding venipuncture and blood pressure measurements, to be effective. Evidence indicated that controlling modifiable lymphedema-related risk factors – namely high BMI (> 25 kg/m²) and chemotherapy administration in the ipsilateral arm – was a preventive measure. Conclusion: no significant evidence was reported for traditionally recommended preventive measures against lymphedema, and modifiable factors figured prominently among risk factors for lymphedema.
RESUMEN
Objetivo: identificar y mapear las estrategias recomendadas para la prevención del linfedema en pacientes después de una disección axilar durante el tratamiento del cáncer de mama. Método: esta revisión de alcance se realizó en agosto de 2019 en ocho bases de datos y ocho fuentes de datos de literatura gris. La muestra final comprendió 13 artículos de revistas que cumplieron con los criterios de elegibilidad. Resultados: los estudios, la mayoría de los cuales fueron aleatorios, se realizaron en Norteamérica y ofrecieron evidencia de Nivel 1a. Ninguno de los estudios revisados encontró que las medidas preventivas empleadas tradicionalmente, como limitar el entrenamiento con pesas o evitar la punción venosa y las mediciones de la presión arterial, sean efectivas. La evidencia indicó que el control de los factores de riesgo relacionados con el linfedema modificables, a saber, un IMC alto (> 25 kg / m²) y la administración de quimioterapia en el brazo ipsilateral, era una medida preventiva. Conclusión: no se informó evidencia significativa de las medidas preventivas recomendadas tradicionalmente contra el linfedema, y los factores modificables figuraron de manera prominente entre los factores de riesgo para el linfedema.
