Prevalência e fatores associados à realização de exames de rastreamento para câncer de próstata em idosos de Juiz de Fora, MG, Brasil

Abstract: Pouco se conhece sobre as práticas de rastreamento para câncer de próstata em idosos brasileiros. O objetivo deste estudo foi estimar a prevalência de realização de exames de rastreamento para câncer de próstata em idosos de Juiz de Fora (MG) e analisar os fatores associados. Trata-se de estudo seccional com 2825 homens de 60 anos ou mais que participaram da campanha de vacinação contra gripe de 2006. Foram analisadas variáveis sociodemográficas e relativas a condições de saúde e ao uso de serviços de saúde. U… Show more

“…PCa screening rate (SPCa) is higher in comparison in USA and western Europe than in other countries, where it has been applied systematically (10). In under-developed countries, such as Brazil, there are no government SPCa rates and the numbers are opportunistic, according to information of population studies derived from isolated municipal campaigns (11). In 2008, it was estimated that there were 899.000 new cases of PCa documented in the World and 258.000 deaths.…”

“…USA are the fourth group (7.5 to 11.5), but Brazil, Australia and Northern Europe remain in the second place, with 15.3 to 22 deaths by 100.000 inhabitants (12). That means that in North America there is a high incidence of PCa but with low mortality (11). Recently, a Spanish study, where the incidence and mortality are similar to USA, showed no benefit of screening on mortality, justifying the theory that locals with low mortality do not benefit from screening (13).…”
