Summary
The formation of a neoplasm, consists in the abnormal proliferation of tissue that runs partially or fully out of control and tends to gain autonomy and perpetuation, with harsh effects to the host body (BRASIL, 2015b). Among the various types of cancer is the gastrointestinal cancer, with colorectal and stomach cancer being the most incident. Pancreas, liver and oropharynx cancer, despite being less incident, are associated with the gastrointestinal system (BRASIL, 2011). With regard to treatment modalities, there are three main ways: chemotherapy, radiotherapy and surgery. They can be used together, depending on the susceptibility of tumors to each of the therapeutic modalities and on the best sequence of administration (BRASIL, 2012a). With respect to surgery, patients are not always prepared and informed about the complexity of the treatment and its effects, which may directly influence the quality of life (MELLO et al, 2010)
