Resumo: | Introduction: Cervical cancer, the third most common female malignancy in world, is responsible for a considerable number of deaths and represents a major concern of public health agencies, who recommend its screening through regular Pap smears. Objective: To know the profile of patients with malignant cervical neoplasm as to previous screening and to identify causes for not undergoing it. Method: This descriptive study was conducted in a reference center in northern Minas Gerais through interviews and reviews of medical records of patients with cervical cancer treated at a referral hospital between August 2008 and July 2009. Results: 71 patients were interviewed, with an average age of 52.5 years with minimum 29 and maximum 76 years of age (standard deviation of 13.75) and most of them (69%) lived in urban areas. As to the histological type, 97.1% of the patients had squamous cell carcinoma and 64.7% had at least stage IIb or above. Most of the interviewees (56.3%) reported never having undergone the test. Among the reasons for not doing it, 17 women (42%) reported not knowing whether it is important, 9 (23%) considered it not necessary because they were asymptomatic, 8 patients (20%) were ashamed of the procedure and 6 (15%) had difficulty of access. Conclusion: The lack of information about the importance of screening, among other things, proved to be a highly relevant factor for not undergoing the examination. |

Introducción: El cáncer de cuello uterino, tercera neoplasia maligna femenina más común en el mundo, es la responsable de un número considerable de óbitos y representa un gran motivo de preocupación de los órganos de salud pública, que preconizan su rastreo a través del examen citopatológico periódico. Objetivo: Conocer el perfil de las pacientes portadoras de neoplasia maligna de cuello uterino en cuanto a la realización previa de examen preventivo, así como identificar las causas de la no ejecución del examen. Método: Este es un estudio descriptivo llevado a cabo en servicio de referencia en la región norte del estado de Minas, a partir de entrevistas y revisiones de expedientes médicos de pacientes portadoras de cáncer de cuello uterino atendidas en hospital de referencia entre agosto de 2008 y julio de 2009. Resultados: 71 pacientes fueron entrevistadas, de franja etaria de 52,5 años, siendo la mínima de 29 y máxima de 76 años (desvío normalizado de 13,752) y la mayoría (69%) vivía en la zona urbana. En cuanto al tipo histológico, 97,1% de las pacientes eran portadoras de carcinoma de células escamosas y 64,7% ya presentaban etapa igual o superior a IIb. Gran parte de las pacientes cuestionadas (56,3%) relató jamás haber sido sometida al examen. Entre los motivos de la no realización 17 mujeres (42%) relataron que no sabían si el examen era necesario o no, 9 de ellas (23 %) no lo jusgaba necesario porque no presentaban síntomas de la enfermedad, 8 pacientes (20 %) sentían vergüenza en cuanto al procedimiento y 6 tenían dificultades de acceso (15%). Conclusión: La falta de información acerca de la importancia del rastreo, entre otros aspectos, demostró ser un factor de gran relevancia para la no realización del examen. Introdução: O câncer do colo uterino, terceira neoplasia maligna feminina mais comum no mundo, é a responsável por número considerável de óbitos e representa grande motivo de preocupação dos órgãos de saúde pública, que preconizam seu rastreamento através do exame citopatológico periódico. Objetivo: Conhecer o perfil das pacientes portadoras de neoplasia maligna do colo uterino quanto à realização prévia de exame preventivo, bem como identificar as causas de não realização do mesmo. Método: Trata-se de estudo descritivo realizado em Serviço de Referência na região Norte do Estado de Minas, a partir de entrevistas e revisões de prontuários de pacientes portadoras de câncer cervicouterino atendidas em hospital de referência, entre agosto de 2008 e julho de 2009. Resultados: 71 pacientes foram entrevistadas, com média de idade de 52,5 anos, com mínima de 29 e máxima de 76 anos (desvio-padrão de 13,75) e a maioria (69%) residia na zona urbana. Quanto ao tipo histológico, 97,1% das pacientes eram portadoras de carcinoma de células escamosas e 64,7% já apresentavam estádio igual ou superior a II b. Grande parte das pacientes questionadas (56,3%) relatou jamais ter se submetido ao exame. Entre os motivos da não realização, 17 mulheres (42%) relataram não saber ser necessário; 9 delas (23%) não o julgava necessário por estarem assintomáticas; 8 pacientes (20 %) sentiam vergonha do procedimento e 6 tinham dificuldades de acesso (15%). Conclusão: A falta de informação a respeito da importância do rastreamento, entre outros aspectos, demonstrou ser fator de grande relevância na não realização do exame.
