Este trabalho aborda os desafios encontrados na cobertura do rastreamento de câncer de mama no Brasil. O rastreamento do câncer de mama com mamografia é uma importante estratégia para a detecção precoce da doença. Com dados coletados do Sistema de Informação do Câncer (SISCAN), foram observadas diferenças significativas na realização de mamografias entre as regiões brasileiras e entre os níveis de a escolaridade que podem ser fatores determinantes para a adesão ao exame, assim como o período de coleta analisado. Ademais, a forma de coleta dos dados também pode impactar nos números disponibilizados. A conscientização da população sobre a importância da mamografia e a capacitação dos profissionais de saúde são fundamentais para aumentar a cobertura do exame. Portanto, é necessário investir em estratégias de conscientização e em uma rede de atenção à saúde preparada para acolher as mulheres com sinais e sintomas suspeitos, garantindo a investigação e o tratamento adequados dos casos confirmados.
This study discusses the challenges encountered in the coverage of breast cancer screening in Brazil. Breast cancer screening with mammography is an important strategy for early detection of the disease. Using data collected from the Cancer Information System (SISCAN), significant differences were observed in the number of mammograms carried out between Brazilian regions and between levels of education, which may be determining factors for adherence to the examination, as well as the collection period analyzed. In addition, the way in which the data is collected may also have an impact on the figures provided. Raising awareness among the population about the importance of mammography and training health professionals are fundamental to increasing coverage. It is therefore necessary to invest in awareness-raising strategies and in a health care network that is prepared to welcome women with suspicious signs and symptoms, ensuring that confirmed cases are properly investigated and treated.
