ABSTRACT
Objetivos: analisar o efeito da idade-período-coorte nas taxas de mortalidade por câncer do colo do útero no Centro-Oeste do Brasil. Métodos: estudo ecológico de séries temporais, de 1980 a 2019, cujas fontes de dados foram o Sistema de Informação sobre Mortalidade e as estimativas populacionais do Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística. Modelos de efeito idade-período-corte com distribuição de Poisson foram usados. Resultados: observaram-se 19.260 óbitos, correspondente à taxa de mortalidade padronizada média de 17,23/100 mil mulheres. O efeito da idade indicou aumento progressivo das taxas com o avançar da idade. O efeito do período evidenciou redução do risco de morte no Distrito Federal (2015-2019), Mato Grosso do Sul (2010-2014) e Mato Grosso (2010-2019), além de aumento em Goiás (2015-2019). O efeito da coorte revelou aumento do risco de morte para as nascidas antes de 1950-1954 e redução nas gerações a partir de 1955-1959. Conclusão: há evidências de efeito da idade-período-coorte na mortalidade por câncer do colo do útero no Centro-Oeste brasileiro, o que demanda fortalecimento de ações para sua prevenção e controle voltadas para mulheres de coortes e idades sob maior risco de morrer por essa causa.
Objectives: to analyze the effect of age-period-cohort on cervical cancer mortality rates in the Center-West of Brazil. Methods: ecological time series study from 1980 to 2019, utilizing data from the Mortality Information System and population estimates from the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics. Age-period-cohort effect models with Poisson distribution were employed. Results: 19,260 deaths were observed, corresponding to an average standardized mortality rate of 17.23/100,000 women. The age effect indicated a progressive increase in rates as age advanced. The period effect showed a reduction in the risk of death in the Federal District (2015-2019), Mato Grosso do Sul (2010-2014), and Mato Grosso (2010-2019), as well as an increase in Goiás (2015-2019). The cohort effect showed an increase in the risk of death for those born before 1950-1954 and a reduction in the generations from 1955-1959 onwards. Conclusion: there is evidence of an age-period-cohort effect on mortality from cervical cancer in the Brazilian Center-West, which calls for the strengthening of actions for its prevention and control aimed at women of cohorts and ages at greater risk of dying from this cause.

Métodos:estudio de series temporales ecológicas, de 1980 a 2019, cuyas fuentes de datos fueron el Sistema de Información de Mortalidad y las estimaciones de población del Instituto Brasileño de Geografía y Estadística. Se utilizaron modelos de efecto edad-período-corte con distribución de Poisson. Resultados: se registraron 19.260 fallecimientos, lo que corresponde a una tasa media de mortalidad estandarizada de 17,23/100.000 mujeres. El efecto edad indicó un aumento progresivo de las tasas con el avance de la edad. El efecto período mostró una reducción del riesgo de muerte en el Distrito Federal (2015-2019), Mato Grosso do Sul (2010-2014) y Mato Grosso (2010-2019), así como un aumento en Goiás (2015-2019). El efecto cohorte mostró un aumento del riesgo de muerte para los nacidos antes de 1950-1954 y una reducción en las generaciones a partir de 1955-1959. Conclusión: hay evidencias de un efecto edad-período-cohorte en la mortalidad por cáncer de cuello uterino en el Centro-Oeste brasileño, lo que exige el refuerzo de las acciones para su prevención y control dirigidas a las mujeres de cohortes y edades con mayor riesgo de morir por esta causa.

As Doenças Crônicas Não Transmissíveis (DCNTs) têm origem não infecciosa e são compostas pelas doenças respiratórias crônicas (DRC), neoplasias malignas ou cânceres (CA), diabetes mellitus (DM) e doenças do aprelho respiratório (DAC). Em todo o mundo, essas doenças são responsáveis por 63% das mortes, correspondendo a 36 milhões de óbitos anualmente e dentre essas, 15 milhôes ocorrem prematuramente em indivíduos com menos de 70 anos de idade. Diante desse cenário, e na perspectiva de enfrentamento das DCNTs, foi instituído em 2011 o Plano de Ações Estratégicas (2011-2022) com meta a reduzir, anualmente, 2% da taxa de mortalidade prematura. Sendo assim, essa revisão traz uma análise dos indicadores estratégicos, comparando dados que comprovem se as metas foram alcançadas e as tendências futuras das DCNTs que compõe o indicador Taxa de mortalidade prematura
Chronic Noncommunicable Diseases (NCDs) have a non-infectious origin and are composed of chronic respiratory diseases (CKD), malignant neoplasms or cancers (CA), diabetes mellitus (DM) and diseases of the respiratory system (CAD). Worldwide, these diseases are responsible for 63% of deaths, corresponding to 36 million deaths annually and of these, 15 million occur prematurely in individuals under 70 years of age. Given this scenario, and with a view to tackling NCDs, the Strategic Action Plan (2011-2022) was established in 2011 with the goal of reducing the premature mortality rate by 2% annually. Therefore, this review provides an analysis of strategic indicators, comparing data that prove whether the goals were achieved and future trends in NCDs that make up the indicator Premature mortality rate

INTRODUCCIÓN El cáncer de cuello uterino es una enfermedad que afecta a las mujeres a partir de los 20 años de edad, y en algunas ocasiones se desarrolla a partir de una edad temprana como a los 18 años. Muchas veces puede llegar a la muerte. La falta de información ha provocado un incremento en el índice de mortalidad de esta enfermedad. OBJETIVO Esta investigación fue determinar el índice de mortalidad de cáncer de cuello uterino que existe en mujeres de 20 a 50 años de edad en Hospitales Públicos de la ciudad de Guayaquil -Ecuador. MATERIAL Y MÉTODOS: La presente investigación fue descriptiva, cuantitativa y de prevalencia. Se obtuvo una muestra de 224 pacientes. Realizando una encuesta virtual con 12 preguntas divididas en 3 categorías en la cual se calcula los porcentajes de: Conocimiento, Prevención, Síntomas. RESULTADOS: Las respuestas de las pacientes encuestadas varían en su porcentaje, el 50.4% tienen poco o nada de información acerca de esta enfermedad mientras que el 10% conoce mucho sobre el tema. CONCLUSIÓN: El cáncer de cuello uterino afecta a un sinnúmero de mujeres entre 20 a 50 años de edad, uno de los motivos para que la mujer padezca de esta enfermedad es el virus del papiloma humano. De acuerdo a los resultados, se pudo evidenciar que gran parte de la población encuestada tienen desconocimientos del tema tratado, así mismo sus prevenciones y sus síntomas, y toman esto como anomalías pasajeras.
INTRODUCTION: Cervical cancer is a disease that affects women from the age of 20, and sometimes develops from an early age such as 18 years. Many times it can lead to death. The lack of information has caused an increase in the mortality rate from this disease. OBJECTIVE: This research was to determine the mortality rate from cervical cancer that exists in women between 20 and 50 years of age in Public Hospitals in the city of Guayaquil -Ecuador. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The present investigation was descriptive, quantitative and of prevalence. A sample of 224 patients was obtained. Carrying out a virtual survey with 12 questions divided into 3 categories in which the percentages of: Knowledge, Prevention, Symptoms are calculated. RESULTS: The responses of the surveyed patients vary in their percentage, 50.4% have little or no information about this disease while 10% know a lot about the subject. CONCLUSION: Cervical cancer affects countless women between 20 and 50 years of age, one of the reasons for women to suffer from this disease is the human papillomavirus. According to the results, it was possible to show that a large part of the surveyed population has ignorance of the subject treated, likewise its preventions and its symptoms, and they take this as temporary anomalies.

RESUMEN Objetivo: Estimar la incidencia de cáncer de cuello uterino y sobrevida de pacientes con esta enfermedad según subtipo histológico y estadios en Manizales, Colombia para el periodo 2008-2012, y comparar cambios en la sobrevida con el quinquenio anterior. Materiales y métodos: A partir de datos poblacionales, se estandarizaron las tasas de incidencia según la edad para cada subtipo histológico. Se realizó un seguimiento activo y pasivo para determinar el estado vital y la causa de muerte a 60 meses. Se ajustaron funciones de Kaplan-Meier y modelos de Cox para estimar la sobrevida global y según covariables. Resultados: Se presentaron 217 casos nuevos para una incidencia media de 17,8 por 100000 mujeres-año. Hubo mayor frecuencia de estadios III-IV en pacientes de nivel socioeconómico medio y bajo. La sobrevida a cinco años fue de 68,9%; la edad (>70 años) se asoció con menor sobrevida (p<0,001). El riesgo de fallecer fue 90% mayor en pacientes con muestra histológicas no diferenciadas o desconocidas comparado con el carcinoma escamocelular (hazard ratio [HR] 1,9; IC 95%: 1,1-3,3); 1,7 veces mayor para personas mayores de 70 años (HR 2,7; IC 95%: 1,6-4,8); y tres veces mayor para estadio III (HR 4,3; IC 95%: 1,8-10,2) y siete veces mayor para estadio IV (HR 8,7; IC 95%: 3,6-20,1) en comparación con el estadio I. Conclusión: La incidencia de cáncer del cuello uterino en Manizales es similar a la global y a la continental, y fue más baja que otras ciudades colombianas con características similares. Hubo mayor frecuencia de estadios avanzados en mujeres de bajo nivel socioeconómico. La sobrevida se asoció con la edad, el subtipo histológico y la estadificación.
ABSTRACT Objective: To estimate the cervical cancer incidence and survival rates by histological subtype and stage in Manizales, Colombia during 2008-2012; and to compare the survival rate to the one from the previous five years. Materials and methods: Using population-based data, incidence rates by age were standardized for each histological subtype. Active and passive follow-up was performed to determine vital status and cause of death at 60 months. The Kaplan-Meier method and Cox models were adjusted to estimate overall survival by each covariant. Results: A total of 217 new cases were observed; with a mean incidence of 17.8 per 100,000 woman-years. Stages III-IV were more frequently observed in patients of medium and low socioeconomic status. At 5 years, the survival rate was 68.9%; ages over 70 years were associated with lower survival rates (p<0.001). Risk of death was 90% higher in patients with undifferentiated or unknown histological samples, when compared with those with squamous cell carcinoma (HR 1.9, 95% CI: 1.1-3.3). Likewise, the risk of death was 1.7 times higher for patients aged over 70 years (HR 2.7, 95% CI 1.6-4.8); and it was also found to be 3 times higher for stage III (HR 4.3, 95% CI: 1.8-10.2) and 7 times higher for stage IV (HR 8.7, 95% CI: 3.6-20.1), when compared with stage I. Conclusion: The incidence rate of cervical cancer in Manizales was found to be similar to the global and continental rates and lower than those from other Colombian cities with similar characteristics. Advanced stages were more frequent in women of low socioeconomic status. Survival was associated with age, histological subtype and staging.

Abstract Objective To evaluate the outcomes of surgical treatment in patients with chemoradiotherapy (CRT)-resistant and locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC). Methods Patients with LACC who underwent surgery due to resistance to CRT between 2005 and 2015 were reviewed retrospectively. Disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) related factors were analyzed. Results A total of 23 patients were included in the study and the median age was 51 years old. A total of 14 patients (60.8%) experienced recurrence; among these recurrences, 8 of them were local, 5 were distant, 1 was both distant and local. A total of 9 patients (39%) died. The Median DFS and OS durations were 15 and 32 months, respectively. A total of 17 patients (74%) had undergone simple hysterectomy, 4 (17%) radical hysterectomy, and 2 (9%) total pelvic exenteration. Postoperative grade 3 and 4 complications were seen in 12 patients (52%). Macroscopic tumor presence in the pathology specimen was associated with distant recurrence and positive surgical margins with local recurrence (Log-Rank test p = 0.029 and p = 0.048, respectively). The only factor associated with OS was surgical margin positivity (Log-Rank test p = 0.008). The type of surgery, grades 3 and 4 postoperative complications, brachytherapy, and tumor histology were not associated with recurrence. Conclusion In patients with LACC, hysterectomy is an option in the presence of a central residual tumor after CRT. However, the risk of grades 3 and 4 complications of performed surgery is high. The presence of macroscopic tumor in the pathology specimen and positive surgical margins are poor prognostic factors. The goal of the surgeon should be to achieve a negative surgical margin. It does not seem important if the surgery is simple or radical.

ABSTRACT OBJECTIVE To verify the spatial pattern of mortality from breast and cervical cancer in areas of primary health care, considering socioeconomic conditions. METHODS This is an ecological study, from January 2000 to December 2016. The study area is the municipality of São Paulo, Brazil, and its 456 coverage areas of primary health units. Information on deaths of women aged 20 years or over were geocoded according to residence address. We calculated mortality rates, standardized by age, and smoothed by the local empirical Bayesian method, and grouped into three or two years to reduce the random fluctuation of the data. In addition, bivariate global and local Moran indexes were calculated to verify the existence of spatial agglomeration of standardized mortality rates with a domain of socioeconomic condition, elaborated based on the Índice Paulista de Vulnerabilidade Social (IPVS - São Paulo Index of Social Vulnerability). RESULTS The success rate of geocoding was 98.9%. Mortality from breast cancer, without stratification by time, showed a pattern with higher rates located in central regions with better socioeconomic conditions. It showed a decrease at the end of the period and a change in spatial pattern, with increased mortality in peripheral regions. On the other hand, mortality from cervical cancer remained with the highest rates in peripheral regions with worse socioeconomic conditions, despite being reduced over time. CONCLUSION The spatial pattern of mortality from the studied cancers, over time, suggests association with the best socioeconomic conditions of the municipality, either as protection (cervical) or risk (breast). This knowledge may direct resources to prevent and promote health in the territories.
RESUMO OBJETIVOS Verificar o padrão espacial da mortalidade pelos cânceres de mama e do colo do útero, em áreas da atenção primária à saúde, levando em consideração as condições socioeconômicas. MÉTODOS O estudo é ecológico, de janeiro de 2000 a dezembro de 2016. A área de estudo é o município de São Paulo, Brasil, e suas 456 áreas de abrangência das unidades básicas de saúde. As informações sobre óbitos de mulheres com 20 anos ou mais de idade foram geocodificadas segundo endereço de residência. Foram calculadas as taxas de mortalidade, padronizadas por idade, e suavizadas pelo método bayesiano empírico local, além de agrupadas em três ou dois anos para reduzir a flutuação aleatória dos dados. Além disso, foram calculados os índices de Moran global e local bivariados, para verificar a existência de aglomeração espacial das taxas de mortalidade padronizadas com um domínio de condição socioeconômica, elaborado a partir do Índice Paulista de Vulnerabilidade Social. RESULTADOS A taxa de sucesso da geocodificação foi de 98,9%. A mortalidade por câncer de mama, sem estratificação por tempo, apresentou um padrão com maiores taxas localizadas nas regiões centrais e com melhores condições socioeconômicas. Apresentou queda ao final do período e mudança de padrão espacial, com aumento da mortalidade nas regiões periféricas. Já a mortalidade por câncer do colo do útero manteve-se com as maiores taxas nas regiões periféricas e com piores condições socioeconômicas, apesar de apresentar redução ao longo do tempo. CONCLUSÃO O padrão espacial da mortalidade pelos cânceres do estudo, ao longo do tempo, sugere associação com as melhores condições socioeconômicas do município, seja como proteção (colo) ou risco (mama). Esse conhecimento pode direcionar recursos para a prevenção e a promoção da saúde nos territórios.

ABSTRACT OBJECTIVE: To verify the effect of the Pact for Health on premature mortality (30-69 years) attributed to cervical cancer in Brazil and its macroregions, using interrupted time series analysis. METHODS: Segmented regression was used to assess "change in level" and "change in trend" in premature mortality rates attributed to cervical cancer considering the post-Pact period (2010-2018), controlling by the pre-Pact period (1998-2006). Understanding the triennium 2007-2009 as essential for the adoption and implementation of the policy, it was excluded from the main modeling, but assessed in the sensitivity analysis. RESULTS: From 1998 to 2018, there were more than 119,000 deaths due to cervical cancer in women aged 30 to 69 years in Brazil. The Northern region experienced the highest rates (> 20 per 100,000). Comparing with baseline (1998-2006), segmented regression showed a progressive increase in changing trend from cervical cancer deaths in Brazil as a whole (coefficient = 0.513; 95%CI 0.430 to 0.596) and in the Southeast region (coefficient = 0.515; 95%CI 0.358 to 0.674), South region (coefficient = 0.925; 95%CI 0.642 to 1.208), and Midwest region (coefficient = 0.590; 95%CI 0.103 to 1.077). The Northeast region presented the most promising effects with immediate reduction in change level (-0.635; 95%CI −1.177 to −0.092) and progressive reduction in the changing trend of premature deaths (coefficient= −0.151; 95%CI −0.231 to −0.007). CONCLUSIONS: Premature mortality rates due to cervical cancer are high in Brazil and its macroregions. This interrupted time series was not able to reveal the effectiveness of initiatives related to the Pact for Health on premature deaths from cervical cancer nationally and in all macroregions equally. The best results are restricted to the Northeast region.
RESUMO OBJETIVO: Verificar o efeito do Pacto Pela Saúde na mortalidade prematura (30-69 anos) atribuída a câncer de colo uterino no Brasil e nas suas macrorregiões, utilizando modelagem de séries temporais interrompidas. MÉTODOS: A regressão segmentada foi usada para avaliar "mudança de nível" e "mudança de tendência" das taxas de mortes prematuras por câncer de colo uterino no período pós-Pacto (2010-2018), controlando pelo período pré-Pacto (1998-2006). Entendendo o triênio 2007-2009 como essencial para adesão e implantação da política ele foi excluído da modelagem principal, mas avaliado na análise de sensibilidade. RESULTADOS: De 1998 a 2018, houve mais de 119 mil óbitos por câncer de colo uterino, em mulheres de 30 a 69 anos, no Brasil. A região Norte experimentou as taxas mais altas (> 20 por 100 mil). Comparando à linha de base (1998-2006), a regressão segmentada mostrou progressiva elevação das mortes por câncer de colo uterino no Brasil como um todo (coeficiente angular = 0,513; IC95% 0,430 a 0,596) e nas regiões Sudeste (coeficiente = 0,515; IC95% 0,358 a 0,674), Sul (coeficiente = 0,925; IC95% 0,642 a 1,208), e Centro-Oeste (coeficiente = 0,590; IC95% 0,103 a 1,077). A região Nordeste apresentou os efeitos mais promissores com redução imediata no nível (-0,635; IC95% −1,177 a −0,092) e redução progressiva na tendência de mortes prematuras (coeficiente= −0,151; IC95% −0,231 a −0,007). CONCLUSÕES: As taxas de mortalidade prematuras por câncer de colo uterino são altas no Brasil e nas suas macrorregiões. Esta série temporal interrompida não foi capaz de revelar efetividade das iniciativas relacionadas ao Pacto pela Saúde sobre as mortes prematuras por câncer de colo uterino nacionalmente e tampouco em todas as macrorregiões igualmente. Os melhores resultados estão restritos à região Nordeste.

RESUMO Objetivos: Analisar os resultados de morbidade e sobrevida após cirurgias curativas e paliativas em pacientes com câncer cervical recidivado após tratamento primário com radioterapia e quimioterapia. Outro objetivo foi avaliar os fatores associados aos procedimentos curativos e não curativos. Métodos: Coorte retrospectiva de pacientes submetidos à cirurgias curativas e paliativas, entre janeiro de 2011 a dezembro de 2017, em um centro de alta complexidade em oncolologia. O desfecho da morbidade foi relatado de acordo com a classificação de Clavien-Dindo e a análise de sobrevida foi realizada pelo método de Kaplan-Meir. Para avaliar os fatores associados aos procedimentos, foi realizada análise univariada pelo teste U de Mann-Whitney. Resultados: Foram realizadas duas histerectomias radicais, três exenterações pélvicas com intenção curativa e cinco exenterações pélvicas paliativas. No grupo curativo, houve complicações maiores em 40% dos casos, e o tempo mediano de sobrevida foi 16 meses. No grupo paliativo, houve complicações maiores em 60% dos casos, e o tempo mediano de sobrevida foi 5 meses. Estadiamento avançado (p=0,02), sintomas (p=0,04), tamanho do tumor maior que cinco centímetros (p=0,04) e mais de três órgãos envolvidos (p=0,003) foram fatores significativamente associados a cirurgia não curativa. Conclusões: As taxas de morbidade foram maiores no grupo paliativo, e o tempo mediano de sobrevida foi menor no grupo paliativo do que no grupo curativo, entretanto esta diferença na sobrevida não teve significância estatística. Estádio avançado, sintomas, tamanho tumoral e número de órgãos envolvidos são fatores que devem ser levados em consideração na indicação de resgate cirúrgico.
ABSTRACT Objectives: To analyze the results of morbidity and survival after curative and palliative surgery in recurrent cervical cancer patients who underwent chemoradiation as their primary treatment. Another goal was to assess the factors associated with curative and non-curative procedures. Methods: This was a retrospective cohort consisting of patients undergoing surgery curative and palliative from January 2011 to December 2017 at a high complexity oncology center. Outcome of morbidity was reported according to the Clavien-Dindo classification, and survival analysis was carried out using the Kaplan-Meir method. To assess the factors associated with the procedures, a univariate analysis using the Mann-Whitney U test was performed. Results: Two radical hysterectomies, three pelvic exenterations with curative intent, and five palliatives pelvic exenterations were performed. In the curative group, there were major complications in 40% of the cases, and the median survival time was 16 months. In the palliative group, there were major complications in 60% of the cases, and the median survival time was 5 months. Advanced staging (p-value= 0.02), symptoms (p-value=0.04), tumor size greater than five centimeters (p-value=0.04), and more than three organs involved (p-value=0.003) were factors significantly associated with non-curative surgery. Conclusions: The morbidity rates of this study were higher in palliative group, and the median survival time was lower in the palliative group than the curative group, but this difference in survival was not statistically significant. Advanced stage, symptoms, tumor size and number of organs involved are factors that should be taken into consideration when indicating surgical salvage.

Our aim was to review the major contributions of studies conducted in different Latin American (LA) countries to the field of human papillomavirus (HPV) epidemiology, natural history, risk of disease, and prevention strategies, mainly in the uterine cervix. Although cytological screening is established in several countries in LA, incidence and mortality rates from cervical cancer (CC) are still extremely high. Finally, data from large cohort studies conducted in LA countries provided seminal data to propose primary and secondary prevention modalities: the HPV vaccine has been introduced in the national immunization programs of several LA countries and multiple screening experiences using HPV testing are under evaluation in the region.

RESUMEN Introducción: entre las enfermedades crónicas no transmisibles se encuentra el cáncer cérvico uterino, el cual constituye una de las principales causas de muerte en la actualidad. En los últimos años la morbilidad de este tipo de cáncer ha influido notablemente en los indicadores de salud y la calidad de vida de la población femenina mundial. Objetivo: diseñar una intervención educativa para la prevención del cáncer cérvico uterino, en estudiantes de primer año de la carrera de Medicina en la Universidad de Ciencias Médicas de Matanzas. Materiales y métodos: investigación de Desarrollo la cual requiere un estudio observacional, descriptivo, que se inserta en el Programa Ramal Enfermedades Crónicas no Transmisibles. El universo de estudio 740 adolescentes la muestra 246 alumnos, seleccionada mediante un muestreo sistemático. Resultados: la mayoría de los estudiantes reflejan como estado civil solteros o bajo unión consensual, el comienzo de las relaciones sexuales tiene mayor incidencia en las edades de 14 a 15 años aunque es significativa la cifra de adolescentes que entre los 16 y 17 años que inician las relaciones sexuales. En cuanto a la presencia de los factores de riesgo del cáncer cérvico uterino como múltiples compañeros sexuales, uso de tabletas anticonceptivas, presencia del hábito de fumar así como infecciones de transmisión sexual se evidenciaron con cifras más significativas múltiples compañeros sexuales y el uso de tabletas anticonceptivas, en cuanto a la distribución de motivos que impulsaron al inicio de las relaciones sexuales, se destacan los motivos de experimentar sensaciones nuevas, el hecho de complacer a la pareja y la presión grupal respectivamente, solo 5.28% responde a una búsqueda de placer. Conclusiones: los estudiantes presentan factores de riesgo de considerable magnitud de padecer cáncer cérvico uterino. Se diseñó la propuesta de intervención educativa.
ABSTRACT Introduction: cervical cancer is one of the non-communicable chronic diseases. It is currently one of the main causes of death. During the last years, this kind of cancer morbidity has notably struck on health and life quality indicators of female population around the world. Objective: to design an educative intervention for preventing cervical cancer in students of the first year of Medicine studies in the University of Medical Sciences of Matanzas. Materials and methods: development research demanding a descriptive, observational study, inserted in the Branch Program Non-communicable Chronic Diseases. The universe of study is 740 teenagers, and the sample, systematically sampled, 246 students. Results: most of students gave the category of single or consensual union as marital status; the beginning of sexual relationships has higher incidence at the age of 14-15 years, although it is significant the quantity of adolescents beginning sexual relationships at the ages of 16 and 17 years. In order to the presence of cervical cancer risk factors like multiple sexual partners, contraceptive tablets use, smoking habit and sexually transmitted infections (STI), multiple sexual partners and the use of contraceptive tablets showed the most significant quantities; and about the distribution of the motives boosting the beginning of sexual relationships are highlighted the motives of experimenting new sensations, the fact of pleasing the sexual partner and the group pressure, respectively; just 5.28 % answered it was looking for pleasure. Conclusions: students have considerable risk factors of suffering cervical cancer. A proposal of educative intervention was designed.

ABSTRACT Objective To describe cervical cancer mortality rates and their corresponding trends, and to analyze the spatial correlations of this type of cancer in Natal-RN, Brazil, between 2000 and 2012. Materials and Methods The simple linear regression model, the empirical Bayes method and the Global Moran's index were used for the statistical analysis. Results The mortality coefficient of cervical cancer in Natal, standardized by age range, was 5.5 per 100 000 women. All historical series for the coefficients studied were classified as stable. The Global Moran's index obtained was 0.048, with a p-value for the spatial test correlation between neighborhoods of 0.300. The average family income by neighborhood showed no significant correlation to cervical cancer mortality rates. Conclusion This study found a temporal stabilization and spatial independence trend of cervical cancer mortality rates in women from Natal, as well as the absence of correlation between these rates and the average family income of the of the participating women distributed by neighborhoods. In view of this, changes in the public policies should be made aimed at preventing the disease; adopting these measures could positively impact the screening program, improving the coverage of Pap smears and immunization campaigns against HPV, in order to reverse this trend and achieve a reduction of mortality rates.(AU)
RESUMEN Objetivo Describir las tasas de mortalidad por cáncer de cuello uterino y sus tendencias, así como analizar las correlaciones espaciales de este tipo de cáncer en Natal-RN, Brasil, entre 2000 y 2012. Materiales y Métodos Para el análisis estadístico se utilizaron el modelo de regresión lineal simple, la estimación empírica de Bayes y el índice Moran Global. Resultados La tasa de mortalidad por cáncer de cuello uterino en Natal, estandarizado por rango de edad, fue 5.5 por cada 100 000 mujeres. Todas las series históricas para los coeficientes estudiados se clasificaron como estables. El índice Moran Global obtenido fue 0.048, con un valor p de 0.300 para la correlación de prueba espacial entre vecindarios. El ingreso familiar promedio por vecindario no mostró correlación significativa con las tasas de mortalidad por cáncer de cuello uterino. Conclusión En este estudio se observó una tendencia temporal de estabilización e independencia espacial de la tasa de mortalidad por cáncer cervical en mujeres de Natal, así como la ausencia de correlación entre estas tasas y el ingreso familiar promedio de las mujeres participantes, distribuidas por vecindarios de la ciudad. En vista de esto, se sugiere que se adopten cambios en las políticas públicas dirigidas a la prevención de la enfermedad que apunten a medidas que puedan tener un impacto positivo en el programa de monitoreo, mejorando la cobertura de la prueba de Papanicolaou, así como de las campañas de vacunación contra el VPH, con el objetivo de revertir esta tendencia y lograr una reducción en las tasas de mortalidad de la enfermedad.(AU)

Abstract Objective The present study aimed to examine which development indicators are correlated with cervical cancer (CC) mortality rates in Brazil. Methods This was an ecological study that correlatedmortality rates and indicators, such as human development index (HDI), gross domestic product (GDP) per capita, illiteracy rate, fertility rate, screening coverage, proportion of private health insurance use, density of physicians, and density of radiotherapy centers. Themortality rateswere obtained fromthe Brazilian national registry, while the indicators were based on official reports from the Ministry of Health. Univariate and multivariate linear regression was used. Results Among the states of Brazil, the average age-specific CC mortality rate from 2008 to 2012 varied from 4.6 to 22.9 per 100,000 women/year. In the univariate analysis, HDI, proportion of private health insurance use, density of physicians, and density of radiotherapy centers were inversely correlated with the mortality rates. Fertility rate was positively correlated with the mortality rates. In the multivariate analysis, only fertility rate was significantly associated with the CC mortality rate (coefficient of correlation: 9.38; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 5.16-13.59). Conclusion A decrease in the fertility rate, as expected when the level of development of the regions increases, is related to a decrease in the mortality rate of CC. The results of the present study can help to better monitor the quality assessment of CC programs both among and within countries.
Resumo Objetivo O presente estudo teve como objetivo examinar quais indicadores de desenvolvimento estão correlacionados com as taxas de mortalidade por câncer do colo do útero no Brasil. Métodos Este foi um estudo ecológico que correlacionou as taxas de mortalidade com indicadores como índice de desenvolvimento humano (IDH), produto interno bruto (PIB) per capita, taxa de analfabetismo, taxa de fertilidade, cobertura do rastreamento, proporção do uso do seguro privado de saúde, densidade de médicos e densidade de centros de radioterapia. A fonte das taxas de mortalidade foi o registro nacional, enquanto que os indicadores foram baseados em relatórios oficiais do Ministério da Saúde. Foi utilizada regressão linear univariada e multivariada. Resultados Entre os estados, a taxa média de mortalidade específica por idade por câncer do colo do útero de 2008 a 2012 variou de 4.6 a 22.9 por 100.000 mulheres/ano. Na análise univariada, foram inversamente correlacionadas com as taxas de mortalidade: IDH, proporção do uso do seguro privado de saúde, densidade de médicos e densidade de centros de radioterapia. A taxa de fertilidade foi positivamente correlacionada com a mortalidade. Na análise multivariada, apenas a taxa de fertilidade foi significativamente associada à taxa de mortalidade por câncer do colo do útero (coeficiente de correlação: 9,38; índice de confiança [IC] 95%: 5,16-13,59). Conclusão A diminuição da taxa de fertilidade, como esperado quando o nível de desenvolvimento das regiões aumenta, está relacionada a uma diminuição da taxa de mortalidade por câncer do colo do útero. Os resultados do presente estudo podem ajudar amonitorarmelhor a avaliação da qualidade dos programas de câncer do colo do útero nos países tanto interna quanto externamente.

O câncer do colo do útero é o câncer mais comum na gravidez, com uma estimativa de 1 a 12 casos por 10.000 gestações. Com a melhora do rastreio do câncer do colo do útero e uma tendência feminina de engravidar em idade mais avançada, observa-se que cerca de 43% das pacientes diagnosticadas com câncer do colo do útero têm menos de 45 anos e 20% a 28% são menores de 40 anos. O diagnóstico e o tratamento da doença na gravidez são difíceis e desafiadores, pois geram angústia para a gestante, sua família e os profissionais de saúde. Novos estudos destacam que a preservação da fertilidade e a qualidade de vida estão se tornando preocupações cada vez mais importantes de mulheres jovens com câncer e que os procedimentos cirúrgicos devem ser menos invasivos. O comitê de oncologia da FIGO revisou o sistema de estadiamento do câncer do colo do útero. Este artigo discute o diagnóstico e tratamento do câncer do colo do útero com base no estágio da doença, incluindo atenção a questões de fertilidade e qualidade de vida.(AU)
Cervical cancer is the most common cancer in pregnancy, with an estimated 1-12 cases per 10,000 pregnancies. With improved cervical cancer screening and a tendency to become pregnant at a later age, it is noted that about 43% of patients diagnosed with cervical cancer are younger than 45 and 20-28% are younger than 40 years. Diagnosis and treatment of the disease in pregnancy are difficult and challenging, as they create distress for pregnant women, their families and health professionals. New studies highlight that preserving fertility and quality of life are becoming increasingly important concerns for young women with cancer and that surgical procedures should be less invasive. The FIGO oncology committee reviewed the staging system for cervical cancer. This article discusses the diagnosis and treatment of cervical cancer based on the stage of the disease, including attention to issues of fertility and quality of life.(AU)

Objective: To analyze the mortality and years of life lost (YLL) trends of cervical cancer in Tianjin, and provide references for the research and prevention programs of cervical cancer. Methods: Mortality rate, standard mortality rate, cumulative rate (0-74 years-old) and truncated rate (35-64 years-old) of cervical cancer from 1999 to 2015 were calculated. The annual percentage change of the mortality rate and YLL rate were analyzed by using Joinpoint regression analysis, and the trend in different age-groups were analyzed. Results: From 1999 to 2015, 1 741 cases died of cervical cancer in Tianjin, the average crude mortality rate was 2.15/100 000. The average age-standardized rate of (ASR) China and ASR world were 1.47/100 000 and 1.50/100 000 respectively. The average YLL was 3 347.97 person-years. Deaths occurred in those aged 0-34 years, 35-64 years and 65 years and over accounted for 3.10%, 57.84% and 39.06% of the total, respectively. The mortality rate of cervical cancer in urban area was higher than that in rural area, with a ratio of 1.37∶1 between urban area and rural area. The age-specific mortality rate of cervical cancer during 1999-2015 increased with age. Two peaks of mortality rate were observed in those aged 50 years and aged 75 years, during 2014-2015. From 1999 to 2011, the mortality rate of cervical cancer was stable (APC=-0.2%, P=0.80), but there was a rapid increase from 2011 to 2015 (APC=21.6%, P<0.01). But group aged 20-49 years, it showed an upward trend from 1999 to 2015 (APC=6.9%, P<0.01). For group aged 50-69 years, it showed a downward trend from 1999 to 2007 (APC=-9.2%, P<0.01), and an upward trend from 2007 to 2015 (APC=14.5%, P<0.01). For group aged 70 years and over, it showed a downward trend from 1999 to 2009 (APC=-10.2%, P<0.01), but the difference in the mortality were not significant from 2009 to 2015 (APC=7.8%, P=0.10). Since 2008, the YLL rate of cervical cancer in group aged 50-70 years had exceeded that in group aged >70 years and the gap gradually widened. Conclusions: There had been a rapid increase trend of cervical cancer mortality since 2011 in Tianjin. Women aged 50-70 years were the main group of life loss.

O câncer do colo uterino é um importante problema de saúde pública e está associado à infecção persistente pelo vírus do HPV como principal fator de risco. Ao longo dos anos políticas públicas vêm sendo desenvolvidas para reduzir as taxas de mortalidade e incidência desse tipo de câncer no Brasil. Uma das estratégias principais para sua prevenção é a realização do exame citopatológico ou de papanicolaou, introduzido nos programas de rastreamento para detecção de lesões precursoras do câncer do colo uterino em mulheres, que tem sido bastante efetivo e eficiente em países desenvolvidos. Assim, este trabalho tem como objetivo analisar os reflexos das políticas brasileiras de promoção à prevenção do câncer do colo uterino sobre a mortalidade no Brasil e no estado da Bahia mortalidade esta verificada pela evolução temporal diante das ações implantadas no período entre 1988 e 2015. Os resultados indicaram que mesmo diante dos avanços nas políticas públicas instituídas, houve aumento das taxas de mortalidade por câncer do colo do útero no Brasil e na Bahia. Portanto, espera-se que este trabalho sirva de reflexão sobre as políticas públicas brasileiras voltadas para a conscientização quanto à prevenção do câncer do colo uterino.
Cervical cancer is a major public health issue that is associated with persistent HPV infection as a main risk factor. Over the years, public policies have been developed to reduce the mortality and incidence rates of cervical cancer in Brazil. One of the main strategies for cancer prevention is the cytopathological examination or Papanicolaou, introduced in screening programs for detection of previous lesions of cervical cancer in women, and has been very effective and efficient in developed countries. This study thus analyzed the Brazilian policies for promotion of the prevention of cervical cancer concerning mortality in Brazil and the state of Bahia. This mortality is verified by the temporal evolution of the actions implemented in the period between 1988 and 2015. The results indicated that even in the face of advancements in implemented public policies, death rates for cervical cancer in Brazil and Bahia increased. This paper should serve as a reflection on Brazilian public policies aimed at cervical cancer.

El cáncer cérvico-uterino, fiel indicador de inequidad social, sigue siendo un grave problema de salud pública en la República Argentina. Se suele afirmar que su frecuencia en mujeres jóvenes es baja y que las más expuestas son aquellas mayores de 35 años. Sin embargo, como ginecólogos oncólogos, con frecuencia acompañamos a morir a mujeres jóvenes que no han tenido acceso a tamizaje ni a tratamiento oportuno y adecuado del cáncer invasor. Esto ha motivado el presente análisis de frecuencia y supervivencia del cáncer cérvico-uterino en el contexto demográfico de las mujeres asistidas en el hospital de referencia en cáncer ginecológico de Buenos Aires. De los 748 casos analizados retrospectivamente (2007-2011), el 84.0% (n = 627) residía en el Área Metropolitana de Buenos Aires y el 76.9% (n = 576) fue admitido en estadios loco-regionalmente avanzados. El 53.6% (n = 401) presentó un diámetro tumoral > 4 cm y el 24.2% (n = 181) > 6 cm. Las tasas más bajas de supervivencia se observaron en tumores > 6 cm y en el subgrupo etario < 35 años. Tanto el tamaño tumoral como la edad conservaron su valor pronóstico tras ser ajustados en el análisis multivariado. En el subgrupo < 35 años, el 48% (n = 70) murió durante los 5 años siguientes al diagnóstico y la probabilidad de sobrevivir otros 5 años fue < 50%. Estos resultados representan una alerta sanitaria sobre la situación de mujeres jóvenes con cáncer cérvico-uterino en el Área Metropolitana de Buenos Aires, la cual concentra casi un tercio de la población del país.
he cervical cancer, which is a reliable indicator of social inequality, remains a major public health issue in Argentina. It is generally accepted that its frequency among young women is low, being the most exposed those over 35 years old. Nevertheless, as gynecologic oncologists, we have been accompanying young patients to their death, mostly women with neither access to screening strategies nor timely or suitable treatment. Such a situation motivated the present analysis of our data on frequency, survival, and demography of cervical cancer collected at the referral cancer hospital of Buenos Aires City. Of 748 cases retrospectively assessed (2007-2011), 84.0% (n = 627) resided in the Metropolitan Area of Buenos Aires; 76.9% (n = 576) were admitted at a locoregionally advanced stage. Regarding tumor size, 53.6% (n = 401) had tumors > 4 cm diameter and 24.2% (n = 181) > 6 cm. The lowest rates of disease-free survival and cause-specific survival were observed for tumor sizes > 6 cm and the age subgroup < 35 years old. Both tumor size and age retained their prognostic value after multivariate analysis adjustment. When focusing in patients under 35 years old, 48% (n = 70) died within 5 years following diagnosis and their probability of surviving 5 years more was < 50%. These figures raise a public health alert on young women with cervical cancer living in the Metropolitan Area of Buenos Aires, which concentrates almost one third of the country population.

ABSTRACT Objective: To describe occurrences of mortality due to cervical cancer in Recife (PE), in northeastern Brazil. Method: This was a time-series ecological study using data from the Mortality Information System (SIM) regarding the total number of deaths due to cervical cancer (C53 ICD10) that occurred between 2000 and 2012. Results: It was observed that the risk of death due to this form of cancer was higher among women over 60 years of age, those of mixed skin color (53.24%), those who only worked at home (63.16%) and those who did not have a partner (44.32%). Conclusion: Additional efforts towards maintaining early detection and health education programs and towards using therapeutic strategies of greater efficiency are needed, given that mortality due to this form of cancer is considered avoidable when diagnosed early.
RESUMO Objetivo: Descrever a ocorrência da mortalidade por câncer no colo uterino no Recife (PE), região nordeste do Brasil. Métodos: Estudo ecológico de série temporal com dados do Sistema de Informações sobre Mortalidade (SIM), referente ao total de óbitos por câncer no colo uterino (C53 - CID10), ocorridos no período de 2000 a 2012. Resultados: Observou-se que o risco de morte por esta neoplasia cresce em mulheres a partir dos 60 anos, pardas (53,24%), donas de casa (63,16%) e sem companheiros (44,32%). Conclusão: É necessário esforço adicional através da manutenção de programas de detecção precoce, educação em saúde e uso de estratégias terapêuticas mais eficientes, pois a mortalidade por essa neoplasia é considerada evitável quando diagnosticada precocemente.

RESUMEN Objetivos Determinar las características clínicas, histológicas y los factores pronósticos del cáncer cervical (CC) en pacientes jóvenes peruanas. Materiales y métodos Análisis retrospectivo de pacientes de 35 años de edad o menos diagnosticadas con CC entre el 2008 y el 2012 en el Instituto Nacional de Enfermedades Neoplásicas. Resultados 449 pacientes tenían neoplasias epiteliales. Los tipos histológicos principales fueron: carcinoma de células escamosas (84,9%), adenocarcinoma (11,0%) y carcinoma adenoescamoso (2,4%). El tamaño tumoral promedio fue 4,98 cm. También se identificó anemia (55,7%), creatinina elevada (21,2%) e hidronefrosis (13,8%). El 82,3% de los pacientes presentaron enfermedad localmente avanzada. Los estadios IIB (47,4%) y IIIB (25,8%) fueron los más comunes. La supervivencia global a 5 años fue de 59,5% (I, 90,9%; II, 57,5%; III, 42,7% y IV, 13,3%). La creatinina elevada, la anemia, el tamaño tumoral, el compromiso parametrial y la hidronefrosis fueron factores que afectaron la supervivencia. No se encontró relación significativa entre el tipo histológico y la supervivencia. La presencia de anemia (Hazard Ratio ajustado [HRa]: 2,5; intervalo de confianza al 95% [IC 95%]: 1,6-4,0) y la hidronefrosis (HRa: 1,6; IC 95%: 1,0-4,0) estuvieron independientemente asociados con la supervivencia; asimismo, el compromiso parametrial con (HRa: 3,3; IC 95%: 1,5-7,2) o sin (HRa: 2,6; IC 95%: 1,3-5,3) extensión al hueso pélvico. Conclusiones El cáncer cervical en jóvenes peruanas es diagnosticado en estadios avanzados. La supervivencia global en cada estadio es similar a la reportada en pacientes mayores. Se confirmó la importancia de los factores convencionales relacionados con el pronóstico. La anemia fue un factor de pronóstico independiente importante que requiere mayores investigaciones.
ABSTRACT Objective To determine the clinical and histological characteristics and prognostic factors of cervical cancer (CC) in young Peruvian patients. Materials and methods Retrospective analysis of patients younger than 35 years old diagnosed with CC between 2008 and 2012 in the Instituto Nacional de Enfermedades Neoplásicas. Results 449 patients had epithelial neoplasms. The main histological types were: squamous cell carcinoma (84.9%), adenocarcinoma (11.0%) and adenosquamous carcinoma (2.4%). The average tumor size was 4.98 cm. Anemia (55.7%), elevated creatinine (21.2%) and hydronephrosis (13.8%) were also identified. 82.3% of the patients presented locally advanced disease. Stages IIB (47.4%) and IIIB (25.8%) were the most common. Overall 5-year survival was 59.5% (I, 90.9%; II, 57.5%; III, 42.7% and IV, 13.3%). Elevated creatinine, anemia, tumor size, parametrial involvement and hydronephrosis were factors that affected survival. No significant relation was found between histological type and survival. The presence of anemia (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR]: 2.5; 95% confidence interval [CI 95%]: 1.6-4.0) and hydronephrosis (aHR: 1.6; CI 95%: 1.0-4.0) were independently associated with survival; likewise, the parametrial commitment with (aHR: 3.3; CI 95%: 1.5-7.2) or without (aRH: 2.6; CI 95%: 1.3-5.3) extension to the pelvic bone. Conclusions Cervical cancer in young Peruvians is diagnosed in advanced stages. Overall survival in each stage is similar to the reported in older patients. The importance of conventional prognosis- related factors was confirmed. Anemia was an important independent prognostic factor requiring further investigations.
