PROSTATE CANCER RISK FACTORS: POPULATION FROM A BASIC HEALTH UNITABSTRACT: The present investigation aimed to identify prostate cancer risk factors in men assisted in a basic health unit in the state of São Paulo in November 2015. It was a descriptive, cross-sectional and quantitative study, with a sample of 150 male users that went to the unit for a medical appointment and/or nursing care. The most relevant risk factors were age, level of education, sedentary lifestyle, consumption of alcohol, red meat, milk and fat and a high body mass index. The most used screening test was the prostatespecific antigen exam, followed by a rectal examination. The number of participants that presented at least one prostate cancer risk factor was high and that family history prompted men to seek prevention measures, such as appointments with urologists and screening exams. DESCRIPTORS: Men's health; Prostatic neoplasms; Risk factors; Primary health care. El estudio apuntó a identificar los factores de riesgo de cáncer de próstata entre hombres atendidos durante noviembre de 2015 en un Centro de Salud del Estado de São Paulo. Estudio descriptivo, transversal, de abordaje cuantitativo. Muestra integrada por 150 usuarios masculinos, que comparecieron en la unidad para realización de consulta y/o acogimiento de enfermería. Los factores de riesgo de mayor relevancia resultaron: edad, nivel de escolarización, sedentarismo, abuso de bebidas alcohólicas, ingesta de carnes rojas, leche y grasas, e Índice de Masa Corporal elevado. El examen de rastreo más realizado fue el de Antígeno Prostático Específico, seguido del tacto rectal. El número de participantes que presentó factores de riesgo de cáncer de próstata fue elevado. Se observó que la historia familiar de la enfermedad motiva a los hombres a buscar medidas preventivas, realizando consultas con el urólogo y análisis de rastreo.

“…In Brazil, this type of cancer has greater incidence in the Midwest Region followed by the Southern Region. Risk factors have not been conclusively established although studies point to age, hereditary factors and dark skin as potential players in the development of the disease (Medeiros et al, 2011). Colon and rectum cancers appeared as the third most frequent cancers.…”

Cancer encompasses more than 100 diseases that increase in frequency in older populations. Causal agents include hereditary factors, as well as the exposure to environmental elements. Sociodemographic profile, as a determinant of exposure to different environmental factors, also affects cancer incidence. In Brazil, between 2010 and 2011, 489.270 new cases of cancer were recorded. In face of these facts, the present survey aimed at characterizing the demographic profile as well as the professional activities of patients with a cancer diagnostic who received care from an out-patient clinic in the city of Guarapuava, state of Parana, Brazil. To this end, 460 medical charts were analyzed from the years 2010 and 2011. The most common types of cancer observed were non-melanoma skin cancer (156 cases, 34%), breast (18.3%), prostate (17.5%), colon and rectum (12.7%), cervical (8%), lungs (5%) and stomach (2.3%). In general, the more relevant risk factors were: being white and female, having more than 60 years of age and exposure to pesticides, sun and tobacco. The average age of cancer patients was above 60, highlighting the continued need for early prevention and diagnostic programs in a country with ageing population.

“…To do this, there was set up to NiAMHP, which directed the focus of attention of professionals to the most common disorders in the male population, especially in relation to prostate cancer. This disease is the sixth most common malignancy in the world in number of new cases, the third most common cancer in the male population and more neoplasia presented by european men, American and some parts of Africa [3,6,8,10].…”

Introduction: Prostate cancer is one of the most prevalent diseases in the male population worldwide. This type of cancer can be detected early in a basic health unit through the evaluation of the prostate with the digital rectal exam, and the serum prostate specific antigen.Objective: evaluating the prevention of prostate cancer in primary care from the analysis of scientific productions.Method: it was decided to carry out an integrative review, using the descriptors: human health, primary care, prostate, prostate cancer and men's health; the databases consulted were LiLACS, ScieLO and PubMeD, from 2008 to September 2015. Results:The findings showed that interventions associated to health education may result in changes of behavior and habits of health, particularly for individuals who have risk factors or are in the early stages of the disease. Conclusion:it is expected that this study will encourage professionals of the units to initiate changes that result in a better acceptance of men to action and better efficiency indexes in the collection and
