Resumen
This research was carried out at the Solca-Chimborazo Oncology Unit, in the Oncology Clinic Outpatient Clinic and its purpose was to carry out a pharmacotherapeutic follow-up of patients receiving treatment for different thyroid cancers and/or undergoing iodine therapy, thus making their illness more bearable and helping to improve their quality of life. We had the cooperation of 35 patients who were followed up, their clinical histories were investigated, surveys were carried out, blood tests were performed to measure their thyroid hormone levels (TSH, T4, TRG) before and after the follow-up. Subsequently, a statistical analysis of the data obtained was performed. At the end of this research work, it is concluded that by interacting jointly with all health personnel, excellent results are achieved, such as reducing unnecessary economic expenses, minimizing medical visits, better handling of medications and making patients aware of the importance of adherence to the treatment indicated by the doctor, only in this way will a successful quality of life be achieved for the patient as well as for the people around him/her. Therefore, it is recommended to carry out the Pharmacotherapeutic Follow-up in the different areas of the Solca Chimborazo Oncology Unit, since the different medications used cause a number of adverse reactions that are often not reported.
