Abstract

Objective: To investigate public health policies aimed at the promotion and prevention of cervical cancer (CC), available in the literature from 2000 to 2020. Methods: This is an integrative review study of the National Library of Medicine (PUBMED), Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO) and Virtual Health Library (VHL) databases, published since 2000, in English, Portuguese and Spanish. Repeated works and those that did not answer the proposed research question were excluded. Then, four articles supported study. Results: It was possible to address the theme of cervical cancer, with regard to care management with an emphasis on primary health care, presenting the evolution of public policies implemented over the course of 20 years. Final considerations: The reviewed publications demonstrated that, over the period studied, there was a government effort to implement preventive measures aimed at reducing morbidity and mortality from the disease in the country, through the improvement of CC prevention and diagnosis indicators.
