In this sense, the objective of the study was to determine the profile of patients in onco-hematological outpatient chemotherapy at the Instituto Estadual de Hematologia Arthur de Siqueira Cavalcanti (Hemorio) and which factors impacted adherence to treatment. It is a descriptive exploratory study in a quantitative way where it was shown possible causes of medication errors and / or lack of adherence in oral anticancer therapy and the occurrence of risk factors to the environment by improper handling of this drug group.
