Dissertação (Mestrado em Enfermagem)–Universidade Federal de Goiás, Goiânia, 2014.http://repositorio.bc.ufg.br/tede/handle/tede/4253Breast cancer is the most incident type among women, representing the fifth cause of death in this group worldwide and the leading cause of death among women in developing countries. Mortality rates from this disease can be reduced when early diagnosis is associated to appropriate treatment. The survival of women diagnosed is also changed when the tumor is found in early stage. The aim of this study was to analyze the prior practice of screening tests for breast cancer as well as the factors that influenced the realization of them among women diagnosed with breast cancer. This is a cross sectional analytical study with quantitative approach. Data collection was made in a High Complexity Oncology Center located in Goiânia-GO. Data were collected from June to August of 2013. The study population consisted of women between 40 and 69 years old, who were undergoing outpatient treatment in the referred hospital. Inclusion criteria were: female patient, aged between 40 and 69 years old, diagnosed with breast cancer and be in outpatient treatment for breast cancer. The sample consisted of 195 women. This study complied with the conditions set by resolution 466/2012 of the National Board of Health. Collection data used interview guideline and analysis of medical records seeking to highlight issues related to identity, socioeconomic and demographic data, knowledge, access to exams of early detection of breast cancer, factors involved in non-realization of exams, as well as information such as location, classification and tumor stage. Data analysis was performed using the electronic program Sigma Stat 3.5. The generated data in this investigation were organized to publish in two academic papers: "Factors related to the non-realization of exams for early detection of breast cancer" and "Relationship between early detection exams for breast cancer and the disease stage at diagnosis." The detection through accidental palpation of the nodule shows flaws in the implementation of strategies for early detection of breast cancer, knowing that when the lump has become palpable, the chances of it to be in advanced stage is big. The found frequencies of accomplishment of Clinical Breast Exam and Mammogram in this study indicate that there has been lack of access from women to these exams.application/pdfAcesso AbertoNeoplasias da mamaProgramas de rastreamentoDiagnóstico precoceSaúde da mulherBreast neoplasmsMass screeningEarly diagnosisWomen's healthCIENCIAS DA SAUDE::ENFERMAGEMDissertação
