Abstract

Introduction: Cervical cancer also called the cervical and originated by ongoing infection by certain oncogenic types of HPV (Human Papillomavirus). According to the INCA is considered a public health problem being the third most prevalent in the female population. The age range of women suffering from cervical cancer is 25 to 60 years of age. The development of cancer is from a change in the cervix, these changes are called percussive lesions that have a lot of chance of being cured if it is treated early, because the disease when it begins to appear symptoms is already in an advanced state like; vaginal bleeding, pain during intercourse. The means of preventing cervical cancer is cytopathological examination (pap smear). Objective: It is to show the mortality rate for cervical cancer in the last ten years in Goiás, together to verify the age groups of death due to cancer among women. Methods: This is an

exploratory, descriptive, bibliographic study with integrative and population- based analysis, through a literature review with surveys of publications in the

National Cancer Institute (INCA) database, Scielo. In addition to these research bases, DATASUS, IBGE, Mortality Information System (SIM) and Ministry of Health were used. The following descriptors were used for research; Cervical Cancer, Mortality, and Women. Results: According to the INCA, the mortality rate for cervical cancer in Goiás in the last ten years, according to the surveys of the scientific articles that the age group is 35 to 69 years of age among women. According to the Mortality Information System (SIM), in Table 1 in Goiás the mortality rate is between 35 to 69 years and 80 years above. The age range with the highest prevalence was 55-59 years of age, with 219 cases in the last ten years. The year with the highest prevalence of cases of cervical cancer was the year 2015 with 213 cases in the total of all age groups. Conclusion: The analysis of the study made it possible that although cervical cancer mortality is in second place, preventive programs need to be reinforced to make women aware of what cancer is really, which causes, because many do not have information as it should. We realized how important it is and the need to undergo cytopathological examination (Pap smear).
