Abstract
La presente investigación titulada “Asistencia en Oncología Pediátrica: Caso
Plan Esperanza del Instituto Nacional de Enfermedades Neoplásicas (INEN)”
permite conocer los servicios a los que acceden los niños, niñas y adolescentes
que padecen la enfermedad del cáncer.
El tratamiento del cáncer en los niños es muy diferente al tratamiento de los
adultos, ya que, en el caso de los menores, es más evidente el hecho de que
este mal debilita las defensas del organismo contra otras enfermedades. El
principal tipo de cáncer infantil es la leucemia linfocítica aguda, más conocida
como LLA.
En el Perú, existen 150 casos de cáncer por 100000 habitantes, lo cual convierte
a esta enfermedad en la segunda causa de mortalidad a nivel nacional y se
estima que el 75% de los casos se diagnostican en etapa avanzada y
principalmente en Lima.
Por tal razón, el Plan Esperanza es una iniciativa del Estado peruano para
atender integralmente a la población afectada por esta enfermedad y brindarle el
acceso a los servicios oncológicos en el Perú de acuerdo al desarrollo
tecnológico y la disponibilidad de recursos.
El objetivo general de esta investigación es conocer la asistencia que brinda el
Plan Esperanza a los niños y adolescentes enfermos de cáncer en Oncología
Pediátrica del Instituto Nacional de Enfermedades Neoplásicas, entre los años
2013 y 2015; para ello, se analizan los servicios que ofrece este programa como
aporte para mejorar la calidad de vida de los pacientes afectados.
Con la información recogida a partir de la entrevista con los padres de los niños
beneficiarios del Plan Esperanza, se logrará mejorar los servicios y fortalecer las
buenas prácticas.
The present research entitled "Assistance in Pediatric Oncology: Plan Esperanza Case of the National Institute of Neoplastic Diseases (INEN)" allows us to know the services that children and adolescents suffering from cancer have access to. The treatment of cancer in children is very different from the treatment of adults because it weakens the body's defenses against other diseases. The main type of childhood cancer is acute lymphocytic leukemia, better known as ALL. In Peru, there are 150 cases of cancer per 100,000 inhabitants, being the second leading cause of death at the national level and it is estimated that 75% of cases are diagnosed at an advanced stage and mainly in Lima. For this reason, the Plan Esperanza is an initiative of the Peruvian State to fully serve the population affected by this disease and provide them with access to cancer services in Peru according to technological development and the availability of resources. The general objective of this research is to know the assistance provided by the Plan Esperanza to children and adolescents suffering from cancer in Pediatric Oncology of the National Institute of Neoplastic Diseases between 2013 and 2015; analyzing the services offered by this program as a contribution to improve the quality of life of affected patients. With the information collected from the parents of the beneficiaries of the Plan Esperanza will be able to improve services and strengthen good practices.
