• Abstract:

  The child and adolescent cancer corresponds to a group of diseases that proliferate abnormal cells uncontrollably, and that can occur in any place in the body. What differs from cancer in adults, is that childhood and adolescent cancer affects cells of the blood system and supporting tissues. This is an objective study to analyze the physiotherapeutic interventions carried out in oncological patients in the infant-juvenile sector of São Vicente de Paulo Hospital in Passo Fundo, Rio Grande do Sul, during the hospitalization period. The sample was composed by 52 patients, who performed or were performing non-HSVP cancer treatment with age under 19 years of age. The data used in this research were collected from the medical records of two participants, using a file, where they found information on age, sex, type of cancer, responsibility for the city of residence, year diagnosed with cancer, time of hospitalization, type and time of treatment, health plan, number of physiotherapy sessions performed during the hospitalization and which interventions were performed by the physiotherapist in this period. For treatment of two data, simple descriptive analysis was performed for average and standard deviation. Results: there was a predominance of the male sex, with a three-year-old average, where the majority was under the responsibility of the mother.
