“…Psychological sequelae can include depression, sleeping difficulties, difficulty concentrating, and anxiety to a greater level and consequence than many other cancer patient populations, as well as the general public [22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29].

En los PMBI existen limitaciones no solo en la cobertura y el acceso a los servicios médicos de atención y prevención de la salud, sino también por la presencia de determinantes de la salud como el bajo ingreso económico y las disparidades socioepidemiológicas, que han impedido la disminución de las tasas de CCU bajo los programas de tamización basados de citología exfoliativa de Papanicolaou, tal como ocurrió en el siglo pasado en los países con altos ingresos (4)(5)(6)(7).…”
