Repercussões do diagnóstico de câncer de ovário na qualidade de vida de mulheres: uma perspectiva multiprofissional

Ovarian cancer represents a major public health concern and is characterized by challenges related to early detection, therapeutic complexity, and the impact it has on women's lives. Receiving a diagnosis can trigger significant changes in physical, psychological, emotional, social, and functional dimensions, affecting autonomy, self-esteem, sexuality, and interpersonal relationships. In addition to the impacts arising from the disease itself, surgical procedures and antineoplastic treatments may cause adverse effects that compromise well-being and quality of life. In this context, this article aims to discuss the main implications of an ovarian cancer diagnosis for women's quality of life, considering the importance of a comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach throughout the cancer care journey. This is a descriptive theoretical reflection based on scientific literature and institutional documents related to oncology, women's health, and quality of life. The discussion highlights the need to understand the illness beyond its biological aspects, recognizing women's individual, family, and social needs. The integration of different areas of knowledge and professional practices is emphasized as a means of facilitating the identification of needs, symptom management, emotional support, and continuity of care. It is concluded that a multidisciplinary, humanized, and individualized approach is essential to minimizing the impacts of ovarian cancer and promoting care that values women's dignity, autonomy, and quality of life.

Abstract

Ovarian cancer represents a major public health concern and is characterized by challenges related to early detection, therapeutic complexity, and the impact it has on women's lives. Receiving a diagnosis can trigger significant changes in physical, psychological, emotional, social, and functional dimensions, affecting autonomy, self-esteem, sexuality, and interpersonal relationships. In addition to the impacts arising from the disease itself, surgical procedures and antineoplastic treatments may cause adverse effects that compromise well-being and quality of life. In this context, this article aims to discuss the main implications of an ovarian cancer diagnosis for women's quality of life, considering the importance of a comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach throughout the cancer care journey. This is a descriptive theoretical reflection based on scientific literature and institutional documents related to oncology, women's health, and quality of life. The discussion highlights the need to understand the illness beyond its biological aspects, recognizing women's individual, family, and social needs. The integration of different areas of knowledge and professional practices is emphasized as a means of facilitating the identification of needs, symptom management, emotional support, and continuity of care. It is concluded that a multidisciplinary, humanized, and individualized approach is essential to minimizing the impacts of ovarian cancer and promoting care that values women's dignity, autonomy, and quality of life.
