“…Differences in cancer screening rates across the Hispanic groups may partially explain the observed mortality differences ( 67 ). Mexican and Central American women have lower cancer screening rates ( 68 , 69 ) which may contribute to higher proportion of deaths due to preventable and treatable cancers if detected early. In contrast, over 80% of Puerto Rican women report having had a Papanicolaou test, compared to 71.6% of Mexican women ( 70 , 71 ), yet both had the highest cervical cancer mortality rates in our study.…”

Introduction: National data on the epidemiology of cancer are commonly reported by broad racial/ethnic categories, such as “Hispanic.” However, few studies have disaggregated Hispanic groups and explored mortality differentials in this heterogeneous population. This paper aims to further examine cancer mortality differentials among Hispanic subgroups in the U.S.Materials and Methods: The study examined cancer deaths in the United States from 2004 to 2014 among decedents classified as Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban, Dominican, Central/South American and non-Hispanic white on the death certificate among those who were 20 years or older at the time of death. Data were obtained from the National Vital Statistics System. Sex-specific age-adjusted mortality rates were computed for a 10-year period and each individual year, for all cancers combined. Differences by age group, cancer sites, and age distribution were also assessed.Results: A total of 296,486 Hispanic cancer deaths were identified. Mortality rates of the Hispanic subgroups compare favorably with those of non-Hispanic whites. The mortality rates for Mexicans are very similar to those of all Hispanics combined, whereas the rates for Cuban and Puerto Ricans are higher. Dominicans and Central/South Americans had the overall lowest mortality rates. Statistically significant decreases in cancer mortality rates were noted in some sub-groups, but rates increased among Dominican women. Age-adjusted mortality rates by cancer site varied among Hispanics subgroups and gender. Among Cubans, only 5% of cancer deaths occurred before the age of 50 compared to 16% of cancer deaths among Central/South American.Conclusion: While it is common to present data on the burden of cancer among Hispanics as an aggregate group, this study illustrates that the burden of cancer varies by Hispanic subgroups. The disaggregation of Hispanics by ancestry/country of origin allows for a clearer understanding of the health status of this growing population and is needed if health disparities are to be adequately identified, understood and addressed.

“…Fatalism. Apathy, fatalism (i.e., cervical cancer is due to bad luck, fate, God's will, or there is not much a person can do about it), and not wanting to know if they have cancer are noted as barriers in three studies (Garrett & Barrington, 2013;Marván et al, 2013Marván et al, , 2016.…”

Objective: to understand the phenomenon lived by women in the nursing consultation in gynecological brachytherapy.Method: a qualitative study, with an approach using the Sociological Phenomenology of Alfred Schutz. Thirteen women submitted to brachytherapy treatment participated in two radiotherapy services: one located in Rio de Janeiro and the other in São Paulo, Brazil. The data collection took place between February and November 2012, through a semi-structured interview. Results: two concrete categories emerged: Seeking guidance and Experiencing fear. The experience lived by patients is that people who need guidance, fear the illness and treatment caused by the diagnosis and by the performance of procedures.Conclusion: the nursing consultation for the patient aids the nurse to understand that each patient has a different degree of understanding and that it is effective to personalize this teaching in order to take care of others. Método: estudio cualitativo, con abordaje de Fenomenología Social de Alfred Schutz. Participaron 13 mujeres sometidas a tratamiento por braquiterapia de dos servicios de radioterapia: uno localizado en Rio de Janeiro y otro en San Paulo, Brasil. La recolección ocurrió entre febrero y noviembre de 2012, por medio de entrevista semi-estructurada. DESCRIPTORS:Resultados: surgieron dos categorías concretas de lo vivido: Buscar orientaciones y Vivenciar el miedo. El tipo vivido de las clientes es el de personas que necesitan de orientación, sienten miedo ante la enfermedad y ante el tratamiento, permeados por el diagnóstico y por la realización de los procedimientos.Conclusión: la consulta de enfermería para la cliente subsidia al enfermero a comprender que cada cliente tiene un grado de entendimiento y que se hace vigente personalizar este enseñar para cuidar del otro. DESCRIPTORES:Rol de la enfermera. Atención de enfermería. Neoplasias del cuello uterino. Braquiterapia. Investigación cualitativa.
