“…O entrevistado pode dizer que realizou os exames por considerar esta resposta adequada e esperada. Resultados de estudos apontam a existência de diferenças significativas entre a informação referida da realização dos exames de detecção do câncer de próstata e a existente nos prontuários médicos 37,38 , mas observa-se na literatura cientifica que esse mé-todo de obtenção de informação, por meio de inquéritos epidemiológicos, tem sido amplamente utilizado como forma de monitorar o conhecimento e execução, por parte da população, das recomendações sobre práticas preventivas para vários tipos de câncer 39 .…”

O câncer de próstata tem crescimento lento, é raro antes dos 50 anos de idade, sendo que 85% dos casos são diagnosticados após os 65 anos e a sua historia natural ainda é pouco conhecida 3,4 .Até o momento, somente alguns marcadores ou fatores de riscos foram identificados como idade, raça/etnia e a história familiar deste câncer em pai ou irmão 5,6 . Pesquisas sobre outros possí-veis fatores de risco, como ingestão de gorduras, consumo de álcool, tabagismo e vasectomia, têm apresentado resultados contraditórios 3,6 . Alguns estudos apontaram a ingestão de licopeno, encontrado nos tomates e produtos derivados, bem como a ingestão de selênio como fatores de proteção para o câncer de próstata, mas também são relatadas controvérsias sobre este assunto 8,9 .O rastreamento do câncer de próstata é realizado por meio do toque retal e da dosagem do Antígeno Específico Prostático (PSA). O toque retal é utilizado para avaliar o tamanho, a forma ARTIGO ARTICLE Amorim VMSL et al. 348 Cad. Saúde Pública, Rio de Janeiro, 27(2):347-356, fev, 2011

“…The 2-year concordance between selfreport and medical audit measures of screening ranges from 66% for DRE (63) to 74.4% for PSA (64) with discrepancies evident in both self-report and chart measures (65). Self-reported frequency is sometimes higher than that indicated by charts (66), although nearly one third of men in one study were not aware of that a PSA test had just been done (67). Screening data were positively skewed (skewness = 2.18 for PSA and 2.25 for DRE) and were improved with a square root transformation (68).…”

Fears regarding prostate cancer and the associated screening are widespread. However, the relations between anxiety, cancer worry, and screening fear and screening behavior are complex, because anxieties stemming from different sources have different effects on behavior. In differentiating among anxieties from different sources (trait anxiety, cancer worry, and screening fear), we expected that cancer worry would be associated with more frequent screening, whereas fear of screening would be associated with less frequent screening. Hypotheses were tested in a sample of 533 men (ages 45-70 years) recruited using a stratified cluster-sampling plan. Men provided information on demographic and structural variables (age, education, income, marital status, physician discussion of risk and screening, access, and insurance) and completed a set of anxiety measures (trait anxiety, cancer worry, and screening fear). As expected, two-step multiple regressions controlling for demographics, health insurance status, physician discussion, and health-care system barriers showed that prostate-specific antigen and digital rectal examination frequencies had unique associations with cancer worry and screening fear. Specifically, whereas cancer worry was associated with more frequent screening, fear of screening was associated with less frequent screening at least for digital rectal examination; trait anxiety was inconsistently related to screening. Data are discussed in terms of their implications for male screening and the understanding of how anxiety motivates health behaviors. It is suggested that understanding the source of anxiety and the manner in which health behaviors such as cancer screenings may enhance or reduce felt anxiety is a likely key to understanding the associations between anxiety and behavioral outcomes.

“…Second, we rely on self-reported colonoscopy. However, validation studies have shown that self-reported data on colonoscopy are very dependable (Baier et al, 2000;Hall et al, 2004;Hoffmeister et al, 2007). Third, as only 38.5% of individuals originally invited (random population sample) had agreed to participate in the EPIC study, the studied cohort is a selfselected subgroup of the underlying population (Boeing et al, 1999a(Boeing et al, , 1999b.…”

We aimed to describe the utilization of colonoscopy and its association with sociodemographic characteristics within the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC)-Heidelberg cohort study. We included 15 014 study participants (43% men) of the EPIC-Heidelberg cohort recruited between 1994 and 1998. At baseline recruitment, as well as in the 3-yearly follow-up surveys, study participants completed questionnaires on lifestyle, socioeconomic background variables, health status, and use of medications and medical services, including colonoscopy examinations. The present analyses focused on participants who completed the question on colonoscopy examination in all follow-up rounds. Our results show that by the end of the fourth follow-up round, more than half of all participants of the EPIC-Heidelberg cohort had had a colonoscopy. Colonoscopy was associated with some socioeconomic and demographic characteristics: a positive association with vocational training level as well as overall socioeconomic status level [International Standard Classification of Education (ISCED) classification]. A negative association was found for household size and employment status. Colonoscopy usage increased steeply within the subgroup of participants older than 55 years of age and decreased again within the subgroup of participants older than 75 years of age. Organized colorectal cancer screening should include a written invitation system, to overcome the problem of sociodemographic-related differential awareness of and attendance at colonoscopy examinations. Also, the high proportion of prescreened individuals should be taken into account to avoid unnecessary re-examinations.
