ABSTRACT

Resumo O artigo discute a organização do Hospital de Ginecologia em Belo Horizonte, fundado pelo ginecologista Clóvis Salgado, em 1939, atentando para sua atuação no controle do câncer do colo do útero. Criado como espaço para ensino prático da Faculdade de Medicina, foi pioneiro na introdução da colposcopia em Minas Gerais e na montagem de uma estrutura própria de atendimento e diagnóstico. Na análise, investiga-se como a promoção e tentativa de afirmação das tecnologias de diagnóstico foram pontos importantes na estruturação da instituição e de seu corpo profissional. O hospital afirmou-se na organização de ações de controle da doença, por meio da difusão da técnica, do diálogo com instituições nacionais congêneres e do intercâmbio com a ciência alemã.


Abstract This article discusses the structuring of the Hospital of Gynecology in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, which was founded by the gynecologist Clóvis Salgado in 1939 as part of efforts to control cervical cancer. Created as a space for practical teaching in the School of Medicine, the hospital was a pioneer in introducing colposcopy in the state and establishing a structure specifically for care and diagnosis. This analysis investigates how promoting and attempting to assert diagnostic technologies were important in organizing this institution and its professional staff. The hospital firmly established itself in terms of activities to control cervical cancer by disseminating colposcopy as a technique, establishing dialogs with similar national institutions, and participating in exchanges with German science.

ABSTRACT

Resumo O Instituto de Ginecologia, no Rio de Janeiro, sob chefia do médico Arnaldo de Moraes, foi pioneiro no país na introdução e difusão de técnicas médicas para controle do câncer do colo do útero, em meados do século XX. A instituição tornou-se referência nas ações sobre a doença no período, organizando um modelo específico de diagnóstico que particularizou a atuação da medicina brasileira em relação à enfermidade e foi referência no país até a década de 1970. O objetivo deste texto é discutir a organização e o funcionamento do instituto a partir de seu papel sob dois pontos de atuação: na afirmação da ginecologia como especialidade médica e na divulgação de um modelo de referência para o controle da doença.


Abstract Instituto de Ginecologia (Institute of Gynecology), in Rio de Janeiro, headed by Dr. Arnaldo de Moraes, was the first institution in Brazil to introduce and divulge medical techniques for the control of cervical cancer in the mid-1900s. It became a benchmark for actions geared towards the disease at the time, organizing a specific diagnostic procedure that set Brazilian medicine apart in the field, in which it remained a leader until the 1970s. The aim of this text is to discuss the organization and running of the institution from two perspectives: its role in enhancing the position of gynecology as a medical specialty, and its role in spreading a standard practice for the control of cervical cancer.

ABSTRACT

Cytological screening for cervical cancer (the Pap smear), the first attempt at mass screening for a human malignancy, is often presented as a non-problematic demonstration of the feasibility of such screening. Screening for this tumor became a model for screening for other malignancies: breast, colon and prostate. My text follows the early history of the Pap smear and the conditions that led to its transformation into a routine screening test, despite persistent problems in stabilizing the readings of microscopic slides. It then analyzes the consequences of diffusion of the Pap smear, controversies surrounding this test, the mutual shaping of diagnostic tests and the disease cervical cancer, and the problematic extension of the lessons learned in screening for cervical tumors to other malignancies.


O exame citológico para verificação do câncer cervical (teste de Papanicolau), primeira tentativa de investigação em massa de um câncer humano maligno, é com frequência apresentado como demonstração não problemática da exequibilidade do exame. Ele se tornou um modelo para outros tumores malignos: seio, cólon, próstata. O presente artigo analisa a história inicial do teste de Papanicolau e as condições de sua transformação num exame de rotina, apesar de dificuldades de estabilizar as leituras das lâminas microscópicas. Analisa as consequências da difusão da técnica, as controvérsias a esse respeito, a modelagem articulada do teste diagnóstico e da doença câncer cervical e a problemática aplicação a outros cânceres das lições aprendidas com o exame de tumores cervicais.

ABSTRACT

This article on the early detection of cervical cancer focuses on the development of two leading diagnostic techniques - colposcopy and the Pap smear test - and their histories in Argentina and Brazil. It explores how diagnostic tools were transferred between Europe and the Americas, while examining the intersection of cultural and medical aspects and the processes of adaptation and resignification in the receiving countries. Colposcopy received little attention in the main Western medical centers until South American countries reasserted its significance in the 1950s. 'Peripheral' centers played a central role in early detection policies and the combined uses of these methods gave rise to a new stage of 'cumulative confidence' in cervical cancer diagnosis and screening.


Este artigo trata da detecção precoce do câncer cervical. Coloca em evidência as duas principais técnicas diagnósticas, a colposcopia e o teste de Papanicolau, e mostra suas trajetórias no Brasil e na Argentina. Analisa o modo como se deu a transferência de métodos diagnósticos entre a Europa e as Américas, procurando perceber a interseção de aspectos médicos e culturais e ainda os processos de adaptação e ressignificação nos países que acolheram as novas técnicas. A colposcopia recebeu pouca atenção nos principais centros médicos ocidentais até os países sul-americanos validarem sua importância nos anos 1950. Centros 'periféricos' desempenharam papel crucial nas políticas de detecção precoce, e o uso combinado desses métodos deu lugar a novo estádio de 'confiança cumulativa' no exame e diagnóstico do câncer cervical.

ABSTRACT

Cervical cancer is estimated as the second most common cause of death worldwide from cancer in women. Approximately 650 women die from this cancer every day; half-million are diagnosed each year. Until recently, the few available reports on the prevalence of cancer from the Arabian Gulf Council States [GCC] were suggestive that the incidence of uterine cancer in general was less common compared with those reported from western country. Cancer registries in the GCC States in the last five years indicate that uterine cancer has moved to the third on the list of leading causes of cancer in the region. Among a population of 1,025, 000 in the kingdom of Bahrain, it is estimated that 10-15 new cases of cervical cancer are diagnosed each year [2001-2007], and approximately 4-6 deaths from this disease per annum. There is an evidence of a gradual increase in the incidence of cervical cancer compared with the figures two decades ago. The ratio of endometrial compared with cervical cancer was 1:2 but the two incidences are presently reversed. Cytology screening for uterine cancer was started in Bahrain in 1971, which soon was integrated in postnatal and in gynecological clinics. Recently successful program of public health screening was introduced against breast cancer in Bahrain; it is imperative that a similar program of national screening against uterine and cervical cancer combined with a national campaign for immunization of adolescent girls against human papilloma virus be integrated in the program and thus reducing the mortality from these two leading causes of cancer death among women. In this article a review of definitions, prevalence and history of cervical cytology service in Bahrain will be presented. Contemporary concepts of cervical cytology, new standard of care and current practice guidelines in screening and prevention will be reviewed. Finally, a discussion on the ways and means of improving the existing cytology and prevention programs in Bahrain will be discussed
