RESUMOO rastreamento para o câncer de mama ou a realização regular do exame de mamografi a é uma realidade em países desenvolvidos. A enfermagem atua de diferentes maneiras neste processo, tendo importante papel no enfrentamento das barreiras relacionadas com a não adesão ao rastreamento; porém, sua efetividade é pouco comprovada, havendo limitado número de estudos clínicos sobre o tema. Realizou-se revisão integrativa sobre o tema na PubMed e na literatura latino-americana LILACS, avaliando estudos clínicos controlados que comprovassem a efetividade das ações de enfermagem, utilizando as palavras-chave rastreamento para o câncer de mama, enfermagem e estudos clínicos. Na PubMed foram identifi cadas 110 publicações sobre o tema, das quais 18 estudos clínicos apresentando as ações de enfermagem. Não se identifi cou nenhum estudo na LILACS. A presente revisão mostrou a efetividade da enfermagem no contexto do rastreamento do câncer de mama, apresentando novas perspectivas de atuação profi ssional, dentro de um contexto multidisciplinar de qualifi cação de ações relacionadas à saúde da mulher.

ABSTRACTMammographic breast cancer screening is a fact in developed countries. Nursing acts in different ways in this process, having an important role in the barriers related to non-adherence to screening, but its effectiveness is little proven, with limited number of clinical trials about this topic. An integrative review of the literature in PubMed and LILACS (Latin American Literature) was conducted, aiming to evaluate controlled clinical trials about nurse´s role in breast cancer screening. It was used the key words breast cancer screening, clinical trials and nurse. From 110 publications in PubMed, 18 were clinical trials and showed the nurse´s role in breast cancer screening. None publication was observed in LILACS database. This review shows the effectiveness of nursing in breast cancer screening, presenting new nurse´s role in the multidisciplinary team that qualify actions related to women´s health.

Mammography is the best exam for early diagnosis of breast cancer. Developing countries frequently have a low income of mammography and absence of organized screening. The knowledge of vulnerable population and strategies to increase adherence are important to improve the implementation of an organized breast-screening program. A mammography regional-screening program was implemented in a place around 54.238 women, aged 40-69 years old. It was proposed to perform biannual mammography free of cost for the women. We analyze the first 2 years of the implementation of the project. Mammography was realized in 17.964 women. 42.1% of the women hadn't done de mammography in their lives and these women were principally from low socio-economic status (OR=2.99), low education (OR=3.00). The best strategies to include these women were mobile unit (OR=1.43) and Family Health Program (OR=1.79). The incidence of early breast tumors before the project was 14.5%, a fact that changed to 43.2% in this phase. Multivariate analysis showed that the association of illiterate and the mobile unit achieve more women who had not performed mammography in their lives. The strategies to increase adherence to mammography must be multiple and a large organization is necessary to overpass the barriers related to system health and education.
