Cervical cancer: primary or secondary level prevention?

One of the goals of the Health Ministery is to decrease cervical cancer mortality through a cervical cancer screening program using Papsmear todetect early the disease and provide adequate treatment of lesions – secondary level prevention program. It's been proved on literature that cytologyhas a hi...

description One of the goals of the Health Ministery is to decrease cervical cancer mortality through a cervical cancer screening program using Papsmear todetect early the disease and provide adequate treatment of lesions – secondary level prevention program. It's been proved on literature that cytologyhas a high specificity but a low sensitivity, and so, it is not a good screening test for a high prevalence disease, such as the HPV infection and its last consequence, cervical cancer, here in Brazil. More sensitive and low cost screening tests such as Visual Inspection with acetic Acid – VIA andCervicography are being proposed as adjunctive tests to cytology. In the case now presented, the importance of such strategies is reinforced, besidesmore effective diagnostic and therapeutics conducts are recommended.

O Ministério da Saúde tem como meta a prevenção da mortalidade materna por câncer cervical através de um programa de rastreamento com o testede Papanicolaou, visando a detecção precoce da doença – prevenção secundária e o tratamento adequado das lesões. Já é demonstrado na literaturaque a citologia oncótica tem alta especificidade, mas baixa sensibilidade, não se mostrando um teste de rastreamento efetivo para uma doença de altaprevalência, como é o caso da infecção por HPV e sua maior consequência, o câncer cervical, aqui no Brasil. Testes de rastreio mais sensíveis e debaixo custo como a Inspeção Visual com Ácido acético – IVA e a cervicografia estão sendo propostos como coadjuvantes à citologia oncótica. Nocaso aqui descrito fica reforçada a importância do uso destes testes coadjuvantes, além de condutas diagnósticas e terapêuticas mais efetivas para oscasos detectados.
