| Summary: | Introduction: Faced with a pandemic scenario, anxiety and concern have arisen among health services, including Primary Care. Because it was necessary to reorganize the service flow in the Basic Health Units (UBS), which, in addition to promoting the fight against the pandemic and transmission prevention measures, also had the essential activities inherent to this point of the network limited. In this sense, women's health was one of the areas affected, namely by the limitation in routine screening tests for Cervical Cancer (CC). Objective: To describe the cytopathological findings found in the reports of exams performed between 2020 and 2021 and their main changes. Methods: This research is a cross-sectional, documentary, descriptive-exploratory, retrospective study with a quantitative approach. The variables analyzed were those contained in the report of the Cytopathological Examination of Cervix Cancer using the statistical program Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 20.0. Results: Analyzing the reports of altered cytopathological exams of women between 2020 and 2021, it was possible to observe the presence of alteration in 10.9% (29) of the reports. By using n=29, the prevalence of ASC-H (34.5%), followed by HSIL (27.6%), ASC-US (24%), LSIL (6.9%), AGC (3,5%) and HSIL-MICRO (3.5%) of the total number of altered exams. Conclusion: The situational diagnosis shows that PCCU coverage needs to be improved to ensure adequate diagnosis for women and the achievement of better health indicators, thus reducing the incidence of mortality from this type of cancer in women. |
