Abstract
Cancer is proving to be a major concern in a worldwide context, particularly in underdeveloped countries. In 2005, out of a total of 58 million deaths worldwide, cancer was responsible for 7.6 million (13%). Of this total, more than 70% occurred in low and middle income countries. Cancer is currently the second leading cause of death in Brazil (10.3% of the total), excluding undetermined causes, behind only cardiovascular diseases. For 2018, there are an estimated 16,370 new cases, 2,300 of which are in the northern region of the country. Uterine cervix cancer is the second most frequent type of cancer among women worldwide. However, its frequency is variable according to the development of the country studied, and 83% of the cases recorded in the world occur in developing countries, where the cumulative risk is 1.5% at age 65. This study is a descriptive, retrospective, quantitative-interpretative study, with analysis of secondary data from the period from 2000 to 2015 of the Hospital Cancer Registry by the Health Information System (SIS-RHC), linked to the Regional Hospital of Araguaína. The data was tabulated in Excel electronic spreadsheets where statistical variables and frequencies were obtained for further analysis. A total of 2.664 women with cervical cancer were analyzed at the Regional Hospital of Araguaína. Being divided into 17 variables in the Tumor Form , the history of alcohol intake and tobacco presented the highest percentages of lack of completion (more than 31%). Subsequently, 25.9% did not contain schooling levels. In general, it can be noted that of the 17 references used in this study, 55.7% of the forms contained all the information and 12.2% had 4 or more missing data. It can be observed between the time of diagnosis and treatment that women diagnosed late presented. On overage, longer times between both actions. Most patients had a late diagnosis, with that , radiotherapy become the main form of treatment. Palavras – chave : Cervical cancer , Diagnosis, Radiotherapy
