    ORIGINAL ARTICLE Cervical cancer screening in Teresina, Piauí, Brazil: evaluation study using data of the Cervical Cancer Information System, 2006-2013* doi: 10.5123/S1679-49742017000100008 Andressa Moura Damacena1 Laércio Lima Luz2 Inês Echenique Mattos2 1Fundação Municipal de Saúde, Diretoria Regional de Saúde Sul, Teresina-PI, Brasil 2Fundação Oswaldo Cruz, Escola Nacional de Saúde Pública Sergio Arouca, Rio de Janeiro-RJ, Brasil Abstract Objective: to assess the cervical cancer screening tests in Teresina, Piauí, Brazil. Methods: this is an evaluation study of Teresina Cervical Cancer Information System (Siscolo), for the period from 2006 to 2013, based on descriptive statistical analyses. Results: 604,331 pap smear tests of women residents in Teresina were registered on the system; 1.8% presented premalignant or malignant cytological conditions (atypical cells, intraepithelial lesions and cancer); positive results were higher among women aged >64 years old; there was a reduction of 43.9% in the number of tests performed among women in the target age group of the screening program; there was an increment in the percentage of unsatisfactory samples, from 0.33 to 0.89%. Conclusion: Teresina cervical screening program presents some limitations that need to be overcome, especially concerning the insufficient tests offer, its low proportion of positive results and the growing number of unsatisfactory samples.

Some studies show that there is a difference in the symptomatic burden for this cancer among young adults and elderly individuals, which can deteriorate the quality of life of these patients. Objective: To investigate the difference in the pattern of symptoms among young adults and elderly patients with colon and rectum cancer. Method: Cross-sectional study using dataset on the prevalence of symptoms among colorectal cancer patients attended at the National Cancer Institute José Alencar Gomes da Silva (INCA) through a recently adapted inventory of symptoms for Brazil. Results: A total of 348 patients were interviewed, of which 101 were young adults (29.1%) and 247 (70.9%) were elderly individuals. There was a difference between the symptoms analyzed for pain (p=0.033), nervousness (p=0.013), drowsiness (p=0.033), sadness (p=0.003), problem with sexual interest or activity (p=0.014), loss of appetite (p= 0.028), irritation (p=0.013), change of food taste (p=0.042), hair loss (p=0.002.) and “I don’t look like myself” (p<0.001).

MÉTODOS: Estudo longitudinal não-concorrente de três coortes com histórico de tabagismo em um hospital especializado na cidade do Rio de Janeiro, RJ, entre 2000 e 2006. A amostra foi composta por 127 casos de câncer de pulmão, 80 de câncer de laringe e 35 de câncer de esôfago. A seleção dos cânceres foi realizada por meio da análise da freqüência e do valor monetário das hospitalizações, ponderados pela fração atribuível ao fumo na população. Os dados foram coletados dos prontuários. Os pacientes foram classifi cados conforme o perfi l de tabagismo, o diagnóstico principal, o estádio e as comorbidades. A análise estatística incluiu a distribuição log-normal para ajustar os valores do custo e a correlação de Spearman. RESULTADOS: Os pacientes eram fumantes pesados e foram diagnosticados em estádios avançados.
