“…Corroborating the results obtained herein, studies show that older women are at higher risk of cancer and but have the lowest rates of participation in CC screening programs (Cadete et al, 2017). The incidence in Denmark is bimodal, with peaks at 35-40 years and 75 years.…”

Objective: This study aimed to analyze the trend in cervical cancer (ICD C53) mortality in Brazilian regions in women who are who are screened and not screened from 1996 to 2015. Methods: An epidemiological study, of time series of mortality from cervical cancer performed in 90,856 women under 24 years old (343 women), between 25 and 64 years old (32,703 women), and over 65 years old (10,909 women). The data from this research were collected from the DATASUS, from the SIM Health Surveillance Secretariat files, captured through TABNET selecting the resident population by gender and age group and ICD 10 C53 from 1996 to 2015. Results: Among women, 43.8% were white, and 76% had less than eight years of formal education. Polynomial regression showed an increasing trend in cervical cancer mortality in Brazil for women aged 15 -24 years (p=0.01). Between 25 -64 and 65 years or older it remained constant, but high (p=0.07; 0.99). The Northeast region pointed a growing trend in women aged 15 to 24 (p=0.01), 25 to 64 years (p=0.01) and 65 or older (p=0.001). The Northeast presented the highest average growth per year. In the Southeast, South and Midwest regions, decreasing trends were observed despite the high rates. The Joinpoint regression showed a 95% confidence interval, and that mortality from cervical cancer in the North region increased throughout the period analyzed. an increasing trend was observed from 1996 to 1998, whereas in the Midwest region, the trend remained stable throughout the period analyzed. The Federal District presented an upward trend from 1996 to 2015. In Brazil, an upward trend was observed throughout the whole period analyzed. Conclusions: Cervical cancer mortality in younger women is becoming more predominant, in addition to the high rate observed for women aged 65 or older.

“…The concept of fatalism has been studied in several studies and found to be complicit in the decision-making process. Findings also suggest that this philosophical perspective may both encourage and/or discourage cancer screening in minority patients [16,26,31,22]. Religion may also play a complex role in cancer screening behaviors of minority adults.…”

“…Accordingly, those with lower levels of education may not have knowledge of the linkages between cancer and cancer screening [11][12][13][14][15]. As mentioned earlier, several studies have shown lack of health insurance or having public health insurance versus private as a correlate of both cancer disparities and cancer screening disparities [16,17,14,7]. But even with insurance the cost sharing for screening services may also be greater [18].…”

“…For example, individuals may worry about receiving their results and the ramifications that accompany a positive test [18,25,15]. Racial minority patients may also feel that they are healthy, aging well, and do not need to see a doctor if they do not have symptoms [29,16,26]. Contrarily, these patients may have low self-efficacy and may be incapable of seeking out cancer screening services on their own [30,23].…”

“…Some studies have found that a strong sense of religion can promote cancer screening, but others say that it does not [19,22,15]. Other less discussed influences that are associated with decreased cancer screening in racial minority adults include modesty [22], low cognitive status [13], lack of community participatory activities [17], time orientation [16], living outside of urban areas [11], being single, and smoking [6].…”

BackgroundRacial minority populations face an increased burden relative to cancer interventions. Compared to Caucasians, the cancer screening rate is substantially lower among African American, Asian American, Latinx American, and American Indian/Alaska Native populations. Barriers such as low health literacy, lack of health insurance, and miscommunication between patients and providers have been identified as important factors that result in low screening rates among minority adults. This study was to identify interventions targeting racial minority adults 40 years of age or older that were effective in increasing cancer screening uptake rates. MethodsA systematic review of articles published in and after January 2009 was conducted using PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines. Twenty-six published studies of cancer screening intervention tested with minority adults were identified through the searches of CINAHL, Global Health, PsycINFO, PubMed, and Scopus databases. ResultsThirteen (50%) of the studies utilized lay community health workers to increase cancer awareness and knowledge and to encourage screening. These methods took place over the telephone, at community education sessions, or within the context of personalized patient navigation support. The intervention programs utilized culturally relevant materials as well as spoken and written information in the targeted population's native language. Various intervention designs resulted in statistically significant increases in cancer screening adherence. However, we found no intervention that consistently elevated cancer screening rates across all racial/ethnic minority adults. ConclusionsThe finding suggests that highly segmented interventions are needed in order to improve cancer screening among various racial/ethnic minority adults.
