“…First, people with lifestyle risk factors often take less care of themselves and participate less in screening programs 40 . Second, inadequate knowledge about cancer risk factors and early detection may provide a barrier to adherence to screening guidelines 41 . Finally, the lack of recommendations from health professionals could result in a decrease in participation in screening.…”

This study aimed to investigate clustering patterns of lifestyle risk factors for stomach cancer and examine the association of risk factor clusters with stomach cancer screening adherence. Data from the 2019 Korean National Cancer Screening Survey, an annual cross-sectional nationwide survey, were used. The study population included 3539 adults aged 40–74 years with no history of cancer. Six stomach cancer risk factors, including smoking, drinking, physical inactivity, obesity, meat intake, and salted food intake, as well as stomach cancer screening behaviors, were assessed. The most frequent risk factor for stomach cancer was physical inactivity, followed by smoking in males and high salted food intake in females. Compared with participants subjects with no risk factors, those with three or more risk factors were less likely to adhere to screening guidelines (males: adjusted odds ratio [aOR] = 0.35, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.23–0.53; females: aOR = 0.32, 95% CI 0.21–0.48). Our findings indicate a disparity in stomach cancer screening, such that those with more risk factors are less likely to get screened. Increasing public awareness, providing behavioral counseling, and targeting high-risk populations for screening interventions are critical for promoting cancer screening adherence and reducing the disparity in cancer screening.

“…Organized screening programs have higher attendance and rate of detection of in situ breast cancer screening 11 , 12 . There are several barriers to access to mammographic services in developing countries, such as travel distance, educational, financial, and social inequalities 13 , 14 . Also, in an opportunistic screening scenario, patient behavior is determinant for mammographic screening coverage.…”

OBJECTIVE:The coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic has disrupted cancer screening worldwide. This study aims to analyze the changes in the rates of screening mammograms and BIRADS 4 or 5 mammograms during the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic in the opportunistic scenario. METHODS: We integrated three different public databases from the state of São Paulo, Brazil, to obtain the rate of screening mammograms per 1,000, and the rate of BIRADS 4 or 5 mammograms per 100,000 women aged from 50 to 69 years in the years from January 2017 to December 2020. RESULTS: The mean monthly screening mammograms decreased from 14.8/1,000 in 2019 to 9.25/1,000 in 2020, with the lowest rates being recorded in May 2020 (3.1/1,000). The mean monthly high-risk mammograms decreased from 12.8/100,000 in 2019 to 9.1/100,000 in 2020, with the lowest rates being recorded in April 2020 (4.3/100,000). CONCLUSIONS: Coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic significantly decreased mammography screening in an opportunistic scenario, a warning sign for decreasing diagnosis of breast cancer in early stages, and increasing advanced stage diagnosis and mortality in the future.

“…Tentando entender as falhas no rastreamento ou onde podemos avançar, estudos mostram que a desigualdade social ainda influencia no acesso ao rastreio de câncer de mama: mulheres pretas e pardas, com menor escolaridade, solteiras ou que vivem sem companheiro, fumantes e que não possuíam plano de saúde realizaram mamografia com menor frequência. Tiensoli et al (2020). Um recorte social que evidencia as maiores vítimas do diagnóstico tardio.…”

O presente artigo busca elucidar para a população e para os profissionais da saúde, os riscos, benefícios, desvantagens e principais usos da ressonância magnética no rastreio e manejo do câncer de mama no Brasil. Dessa forma, buscou-se em artigos e trabalhos da área, em bases do Scielo as informações mais atuais e relevantes nesse cenário, dentro dos últimos 5 anos, explicando desde a realidade atual do câncer de mama no país, até os princípios do funcionamento desse equipamento, que representa uma grande evolução nos exames de imagem. Como resultado, foi obtida uma série de informações que garante a indicação da ressonância magnética no câncer de mama como uma boa ferramenta para suporte das decisões clínicas e acompanhamento dos pacientes. Dessa forma, notou-se que mesmo com o grande apoio tecnológico fornecido, ainda é imprescindível a boa conduta e formação médica para a aplicação do conhecimento de forma correta, garantindo a saúde e integridade dos pacientes. Sendo assim, muito ainda se espera da evolução do método e seu aperfeiçoamento para o futuro, para que possa oferecer um diagnóstico ainda mais precoce e fidedigno, garantindo o tratamento precoce e melhora do prognóstico dos pacientes acometidos.
