Resumo

Objetivo: conhecer as experiências das mulheres na sobrevivência do pós-tratamento do câncer ginecológico. Método: estudo qualitativo, desenvolvido com vinte e cinco pacientes do Instituto Nacional do Câncer, com dados coletados entre fevereiro e abril de 2022, por meio de entrevistas norteadas por roteiro semiestruturado. As falas foram analisadas pela perspectiva da análise de conteúdo. Resultados: após o tratamento, a saúde hormonal e reprodutiva foi seriamente comprometida, além de outros problemas correlacionados, entre esses, destacam-se as limitações físicas e psicológicas que restringem suas atividades diárias e prejudicam a qualidade de vida. Conclusão: é necessário que o foco no investimento para o cuidado de suporte seja além da realização de atividades de tratamentos isoladas, e sim, uma estrutura multidisciplinar capaz de atender as reais necessidades e assim, ajudar nessa fase difícil de sobrevivência do câncer.
