Abstract:

Introduction: Cervical Cancer (CC) ranks third among the most common malignant neoplasms among Brazilian women, representing a total of 15% of female cancers. OBJECTIVE: To identify the epidemiological profile of elderly women with Cervical Cancer in the historical series 2000-2017 treated in specialized public hospitals in Pará/Brazil. Methodology: A retrospective descriptive study with a quantitative approach, carried out in January 2020 with information from secondary data from the Hospital Cancer Registry Computerization System (SisHCR) regarding mortality from CC. From the data collected, a descriptive analysis of the population under study was performed. From the data collected, a descriptive analysis of the population under study was performed. RESULTS: A total of 1,980 cases of cervical cancer were found in the state of Pará in the historical series 2000 - 2017, mainly between the ages of 60 and 69, of the ignored/white race, married, with incomplete fundamental level and SUS referral origin. As for the factors associated with cervical cancer, 36% of the cases reported smoking, 76% of the cases had no information about alcoholism, and 64% of the cases had no information about their family history of cancer. CONCLUSION: It was noted that despite the campaigns that recommend screening until the age of 64, this age group presents resistance regarding the performance of the cytopathological examination and consequently a high number of cases, being necessary actions that clarify doubts and reduce taboos we return to the subject.
