Mulheres Portadoras de lesões Precursoras do câncer do colo do Útero e hPV: descrição do Perfil socioeconôMico e deMográfico

Abstract

INTRODUÇÃOAs lesões precursoras do câncer do colo do útero (LPCCU) são entendidas como alterações cervicais pré-malignas, que constituem uma série de modificações no epitélio original e, quando não tratadas, podem evoluir para o câncer cervical 1 . A gravidade deste tipo de câncer está associada à infecção pelo papilomavírus humano em 99% dos casos. Desta maneira, entender a diversidade de fatores socioeconômicos e demográficos das mulheres portadoras de neoplasias intraepiteliais cervicais é fundamental, pois além de ser um importante problema de saúde pública, é o segundo câncer mais comum em mulheres de todo o mundo. À luz disso, no Brasil a estimativa de incidência feita para o ano de 2010 apontou para a ocorrência de 18.430 novos casos, e, anualmente, o óbito de 230 mil mulheres por ano, sendo estimados 9 milhões de infectados pelo HPV [2][3] . Neste sentido, o estudo acerca das LPCCU torna-se relevante, pois ainda que o HPV seja um dos principais fatores de risco para o câncer cervical, compõe uma das mais importantes doenças sexualmente transmissíveis 4 . A fase invasiva do câncer cervical é precedida pela neoplasia intraepitelial cervical (NIC), representada pelas NIC 1, NIC 2 e NIC 3 e associadas com as infecções pelo HPV, sendo que esta classificação apresenta diferentes processos de doença The data were highlighted in variables divided into economic characteristics, demographic and gynecologic obstetrics. The data were collected and analyzed by descriptive statistics by using single frequency (%). Results: the diagnosis of LPCCU ranged between the ages of 16 and 95 years old. GINR presented the highest percentage of women with LPCCU aged between 46 and 55. Family income in the two groups was highlighted by two minimum wages. The low level of education ranked high among the study subjects. Sexually transmitted disease was prevalent HPV infection. Conclusion: given the women's socio-economic and demographic profile in the study, should emphasize the focus on educational activities and preventive strategies to infection by HPV, which will favor lower incidence of cervical cancer and LPCCU.

Profile of women with cervical cancer attended for treatment in oncology center

“…A predominance of non-white women (91.75%) was found, approaching the results of Carvalho and Queiroz 16 and Ribeiro et al, 17 who found a frequency of 63.3% and 82.1%, respectively, of women of non-white color in the existence of the diagnosis. However, in contrast to these results, Carmo and Luiz 18 showed a predominance of the white race (55.5%) in women diagnosed with cervical cancer and treated at the National Cancer Institute, Rio de Janeiro, justifying the use of race/color as a social marker more related to envi- ronmental factors, contributing to the lack of access to cytopathological exams.…”

Sociodemographic and clinical factors of women with HPV and their association with HIV

“…Education is a determining factor in social vulnerability. Knowledge mediates attitudes that will benefit or not the risk perception regarding the cervical cancer precursor lesions ( 18 ) . Access to healthcare services and adherence to the HIV/AIDS treatment are also mediated by education, which impacts on the comprehension of the therapy, due to difficulties in the interpretation of the information provided by the health team and in the recognition of the importance of performing the treatment correctly ( 19 ) .…”

Most frequent dermatoses at a vulvar pathology outpatient clinic

“… 6 - 8 This discrepancy is possibly due to the diversity of the source of data. The predominance of condyloma acuminatum was in agreement with the findings by Carvalho and Queiroz 8 , but differed from the findings by Virgili et al . 6 and Farias et al .…”
