Abstract

Cervical cancer (CCU) is one of the main causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide, representing a major challenge for public health in terms of health romotion, prevention of further complications, early diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation and palliative care in order to improve the population's quality of life. This study aims to characterize the profile of women who underwent treatment for CCU at the Center for High Complexity in Oncology (CACON) of a University Hospital Professor Alberto Antunes (HUPAA) from January to December 2020. This is a study retrospective, documentary, descriptive and quantitative developed at CACON carried out after approval by the research ethics committee, based on resolutions 466/2 and 510/16 which govern research with human beings. The medical records of women over 18 years of age who fit the ICD'sof the 10th Revision of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD10) were included in the present study, as follows: C530- Malignant neoplasm of the endocervix, C531- Malignant neoplasm of the exocervix, C538- Neoplasm cervical cancer with invasive lesion, C539- Unspecified malignant neoplasm of the cervix and who underwent some type of CACON/HUPAA treatment for CCU from January to December 2020. The medical records that responded were also included to all the questions of the questionnaire, being excluded all the records that did not answer to all the questions of the questionnaire and that were lacking information, therefore they did not serve as subsidy to delineate the profile established in the study. The results showed the predominance of women aged between 50 and 59 (29.0%), with an average age of 53.16 years, prevalence of brown color in 25 (80.7%) women, with married marital status 14 (45.1%) and illiterate 10 (32.2%). The prevalence for squamous cell carcinoma was 13 (41.9%), moderately differentiated histological grade (Grade 2) in addition, the most performed treatments were radiotherapy associated with chemotherapy 10 (32.2%) and chemotherapy, radiotherapy and brachytherapy 10 (32, 2%) and women had 3 or more pregnancies 24 (77.4%) and deliveries 22 (70.9%). The study showed that age, education, marital status, number of pregnancies and deliveries, type and histological grade were among the characteristics most related to cervical cancer in the study population. As well as the importance of more studies that present the profile of women with CC, which factors favor and decrease the chances of having the pathology, so that preventive, screening and active search measures are adopted in this public.
