Introduction: Cancer is a burdensome disease whose treatment protocol can produce severe psychosocial and physical side effects. The main effects of antineoplastic treatment may affect the oral cavity, especially in children, compromising theirs and their family quality-of-life. Objective: To identify and describe side effects-related antineoplastic treatment and to assess its impact on the children’s and their families’ quality-of-life. Method: Qualitative and cross-sectional study, with the participation of 117 children, preschoolers, consulted at a referral hospital in the State of Paraíba, through the B-Ecohis questionnaire, dental clinical exams and medical records. The statistical treatment was based on descriptive analysis and Poisson Regression with robust variance in the Stepwise method (p<0.05). Results: The most common manifestations were mucositis and xerostomia (66.7% and 54.7% respectively). The impact on the children’s quality-of-life affected mostly the domain of functional limitation with mean of 3.0 (±1.8) and 1.0 (±1.0) for the family function in the family. Conclusion: The impact on the quality-of life in children was weak and not significant in the family.
