Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the screening for Breast Cancer through the request for mammography. Methods: This is a quantitative, applied, exploratory research and survey of secondary data recurring to the request for mammograms, in the database of the DATASUS Information System, between the periods of July / 2018 to July / 2020 at intervals of pre and post training applied in the Xingu Integration Region, located in the northern region of Brazil, State of Pará. Results: The screening mammography factor age (40 to 49 years) in the Xingu integration region received a request in the order of 634 for 350. There is also a persistence disparity for screening mammography (1,108) in face of requests for diagnostic mammography (12). Conclusion: There was a decrease in the number of screening mammograms based on the target population by age, highlighting the percentage increase in the number of screening mammograms at the ages recommended by the Ministry of Health and a decrease at other ages. The results achieved were positive and effects generated, but included. Thus, reinforcing the need for continuing education for professionals in the region on the subject.
