Introduction: Cervical and breast cancer control have been monitored in Brazil through the use of data available in the information systems recording screening and diagnostic investigation tests results. Objective: To evaluate the coverage of cervical and breast cancer control information systems in Brazil. Method: Cross-sectional study using data from cytopathological cervical exams, cervix and breast histopathology exams and mammograms recorded at Siscolo, Sismama, Siscan and SIA/SUS according to region and federative unit between 2008-2019. Annual proportions of exams informed only at SIA/SUS were calculated and descriptive analysis was performed among regions and over the years. Results: The coverage was higher for cytopathological cervical exams (loss of 20% in the period) and lower for histopathological breast exams (loss of 37.1% in the period). As of 2015, there was less coverage for all exams and in 2019 there were reduction of loss levels. Conclusion: The coverage of the systems varied over the period, being higher for cytopathologic cervical exams indicating that timing is an important factor of consolidation of the systems.
