Cervical cancer is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality among women worldwide. Early screening plays a key role in the detection and effective treatment of the disease. However, many women are still diagnosed late, which compromises prognosis and chances of survival. Understanding the factors that contribute to late screening is essential to develop effective prevention and control strategies. This integrative review aims to identify the main factors related to late cervical cancer screening. To achieve these objectives, an integrative literature review was conducted by searching for full articles published in the last 10 years in the Lilacs, Medline and Scielo databases. The search allowed access to 10 articles, which were read in full and systematized, with their contributions to answer the problem question. It was found that late diagnosis is associated with socioeconomic, psychological factors, and the formation of bonds with the health team. In this context, the importance of Primary Health Care is highlighted in facing this reality.
