Objetivou-se descrever as ações de saúde pública para o controle do câncer de mama no Brasil. Revisão narrativa, sem restrição temporal, foi realizada em sites governamentais e analisada com base nas políticas de saúde vigentes no País. São resultados foram identificadas 48 publicações, constatando-se que o tratamento dessa neoplasia passou a ser considerado no cenário da saúde pública a partir de 1984 e que só em 1996 iniciou-se um programa específico para esse agravo. As ações, recursos, público-alvo e indicadores de rastreio foram definidos em 2004, mas o monitoramento destas práticas por sistema informatizado ocorreu após dois anos de sua implantação. Em conclusão, evidenciou-se, pela documentação analisada, que houve um aumento considerável de intervenções públicas para o controle do câncer de mama a partir de 1998 e, que o direcionamento para as ações de rastreio e detecção precoce se deu a partir de 2004.
ABSTRACT
This study described public healthcare measures for breast cancer control in Brazil. A narrative review of official government websites was performed, with no time restriction, and analyzed against current health policies in place in Brazil. As a result, 48 publications were detected, revealing that cancer treatment has been considered in public health circles since 1984, but not until 1996 was a specific program started for this disease. In 2004, the measures, resources, target public and screening and early detection indicators were defined, but computerized monitoring of these practices started two years after implementation. In conclusion, the documentation reviewed showed that public health interventions for breast cancer control have increased considerably since 1998, and that more policies have been directed to screening and early detection since 2004.
