Oncotic cytology, also known as cervical screening, Pap smear or Pap smear, is the main strategy of choice in Brazil for early screening of cervical cancer and infectious diseases. The aim of this study was to highlight the importance of carrying out cytological examinations in primary care based on scientific productions in the health field. This is an integrative review of the literature, of a descriptive nature. The primary research sources were articles obtained through data search. The secondary research sources consisted of the SciELO, LILACS and Google Scholar databases. The search took place from February to May 2023. The results were prepared through a literature search in the selected databases, obtaining the most relevant articles that provide information on the topic, published between 2017 and March 2023. Carrying out this research allowed us to understand the importance of carrying out cytological exams in primary care, highlighting the prevention of cervical cancer and the diagnosis of this pathology and sexually transmitted infections, such as HPV. It is also clear that there are major challenges in the population's adherence to this exam, as there is perplexity, misinformation and lack of access to health units to implement preventive measures and monitor patients.
