Abstract

Purpose: to identify and analyze the effects of chemotherapy on the auditory system of children and/or adolescents with cancer treated with cisplatin and carboplatin, assessed through standardized audiological procedures.

Methods: studies in Brazilian Portuguese and in English were searched for, as available in the databases Science Direct, PubMed, LILACS, BIREME, Embase, SciELO, Web of Science and Cochrane. The descriptors were: Hearing Loss, Audiology, Child Cancer, Chemotherapy, and Child. Articles with levels 1 and 2 of scientific evidence, published in the last 20 years (1997 to 2017), were considered, of which the audiological results were analyzed, as well as the prevalence of hearing loss in children with cancer undergoing chemotherapy.

Results: 3,625 articles were found, of which only 23 were selected for analysis in the present review. Studies have shown a high incidence of sensorineural hearing loss and decrease or even loss of otoacoustic emissions in children and adolescents with cancer, even after the first dose of chemotherapy drugs, with high frequencies being the most affected.

Conclusion: there is evidence that both carboplatin and especially cisplatin from the first doses may impair the hearing of children and adolescents, mainly affecting the cochlear function, thus, the importance of long-term audiological monitoring.

Resumo

Objetivo: identificar e analisar os efeitos da quimioterapia no sistema auditivo de crianças e/ou adolescentes com câncer tratados com cisplatina e carboplatina, avaliados por meio de procedimentos audiológicos padronizados.

Métodos: buscou-se por estudos nos idiomas português brasileiro e inglês, disponíveis nas bases de dados Science Direct, PubMed, Lilacs, Bireme, Embase, Scielo, Web of Science e Cochrane. Os descritores foram: Perda Auditiva, Audiologia, Câncer Infantil, Quimioterapia e Criança. Foram considerados artigos com níveis de evidência científica 1 e 2, publicados nos últimos 20 anos (1997 a 2017), dos quais foram analisados os resultados audiológicos, bem como a prevalência da perda auditiva de crianças com câncer submetidas à quimioterapia.

Resultados: foram encontrados 3625 artigos, sendo que apenas 23 foram selecionados para análise na presente revisão. Os estudos demonstraram alta incidência de perda auditiva neurossensorial e diminuição ou até perda das emissões otoacústicas em crianças e adolescentes com câncer, mesmo após a primeira dose das drogas quimioterápicas, sendo que as frequências altas são as mais acometidas.

Conclusões: há evidências de que a carboplatina e especialmente a cisplatina, desde as primeiras doses, podem prejudicar a audição de crianças e adolescentes, afetando principalmente a função coclear, destacando a importância do monitoramento audiológico a longo prazo.
