INTRODUCTORY CLASS ON CHILDHOOD CANCER AND WORKSHOP ON BUILDING MULTIDISCIPLINARY INSTRUMENTS FOR ACTIVITIES WITH CHILDREN WITH ALL (ACUTE LYMPHOBLASTIC LEUKEMIA)

Abstract

Access to information is one of the most commonly used tools to help combat diseases that are poorly understood by the population. Many of these diseases have signs and symptoms similar to other less severe conditions. Consequently, they do not raise much alarm and often go unnoticed. Therefore, it is necessary to create intervention instruments aimed at disseminating information about these diseases. Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most frequent malignant neoplasm in childhood, accounting for 30 to 35% of cancer cases in this age group. In this scenario, an open class was held to provide participants with theoretical knowledge about childhood cancer, so that they could develop a multidisciplinary intervention instrument for children with ALL, which is one of the main and most aggressive types of childhood cancer. Thus, it is necessary for it to be diagnosed quickly to increase the chances of disease remission.
