Avaliação do programa de rastreio do cancro do colo do útero na região Alentejo

Abstract

O cancro do colo do útero é um dos mais frequentes no sexo feminino em todo o mundo, com impactos diretos na mortalidade e morbilidade associada a esta patologia. A implementação de medidas de prevenção, nomeadamente de programas de rastreios, potencia o controlo da doença ainda em fase assintomática, antevendo um tratamento mais eficaz. O presente estudo analisa os dados referentes ao Programa de Rastreio do Cancro do Colo do Útero na Região Alentejo e estabelece os seguintes objetivos: i) monitorizar os parâmetros relativos ao planeamento do rastreio e resultados clínicos gerais; ii) avaliar os resultados citológicos referentes às primeiras citologias de cada mulher; iii) avaliar os resultados aos testes de deteção do Vírus Papiloma Humano (HPV); iv) avaliar a relação entre os resultados citológicos e os testes ao HPV. A operacionalização deste estudo possibilitou traçar uma primeira panorâmica do rastreio e avaliar os resultados a partir dos objetivos propostos. Aproximadamente 39% da população elegível foi rastreada. A presença de alterações celulares foi identificada em 1.5% do total de citologias realizadas num primeiro momento. Estes resultados estão associados a idades mais baixas, ainda que o grau de severidade da lesão seja mais elevado com o aumento da idade da mulher. Uma elevada prevalência de infeção por HPV + foi observada em diagnósticos citológicos referentes a LSIL: Evaluation of Cervical Cancer Screening Program in Alentejo Region Abstract: Cervical Cancer is one of the most frequent oncologic diseases in women worldwide, with direct effects in mortality and morbidity rates related to this disease. The development of preventive measures, including screening programs, enhances disease control even in the asymptomatic phase, anticipating a more effective treatment. This study analyzes data regarding Cervical Screening Program in Alentejo and establishes the following aims: i) track the parameters related to screening planning and to general clinical results; ii) evaluate first cytological results of each woman; iii) evaluate the human papilloma virus (HPV) tests results; iv) evaluate the relationship between cytologic results and HPV tests. The operationalization of this study enabled us to draw a first overview of the Screening Program, assessing the main findings, regarding this study’s aims. About 39% of the eligible population was screened. The presence of cellular changes was observed in 1.5% of all smear tests performed at first. These results are associated with younger age, although the degree of lesion severity is higher with increasing age of the woman. A high prevalence of HPV infection was observed in cytological diagnostics LSIL.
