Results:The estimated costs amounted to INT$ 59.7 billion in the year 2015 with an exponential increase from 2010 to 2015. The costs of mortality represent 63% of total costs of cancer, direct costs account for 20% and morbidity, 17%. Health expenditures are estimated at 9.5% of GDP and the average cost with cancer was estimated at 1.7% of GDP per year. It is expected that cancer costs reach approximately INT$ 81 billion in 2020. Conclusion:Cancer costs have increased significantly over the past five years and will increase until 2020.
OBJETIVOS: O presente estudo teve por objetivo analisar o papel da fisioterapia no cuidado às sobreviventes do câncer do colo do útero a partir do olhar de pacientes sobreviventes e de fisioterapeutas.
