Investigate the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of physicians and nurses of the Family Health Strategy of Mossoró (RN) with respect to the early detection of breast cancer. |
There is a valuation of the clinical examination of the breast, in detriment to the request of mammography, in seeking the early diagnosis of breast cancer and insufficient number of qualified professionals, in addition to the ignorance of the population. |
There is a need for training the professionals in the area of health, increasing the availability of mammography, and increasing the education of the population on the subject. |

Evaluate the use of mammography in breast cancer screening in public and private health services. |
The mean age of women interviewed in both public and private services was the same. The screening of women is greater in private services, and 25% of the women aged over 50 years underwent no regular screening. |
Access to screening services was greater in the private network, being influenced by the form of access. In both services, mammography screening was initiated at a lower age in relation to current recommendations, and in both services there was failure of adherence to this screening. |

Evaluate the adherence to recommendations for opportunistic mammography screening of breast cancer. |
Most of the women interviewed used public services. Correct adherence to recommendations of the screening was very low in both groups studied. Lack of prior screening is one of the factors of failure of the adherence to the screening. |
To achieve the reduction of mortality rates in our country, it is crucial that we achieve and maintain high rates of adherence that represent obedience to intervals between repetitions of exams, properly defined as less than 24 months. |

Establish the profile of women using the public health service of Jundiaí, concerning the habit of breast self-examination, and determine the associated factors. |
Most of the women interviewed performed no breast self-examination (BSE) and were aged under 35 years. Women aged over 50 years had higher adherence to the BSE. This adherence is closely related to undergoing mammography exams. |
Breast self-examination is known by the women interviewed, although more than half of them perform no examination. The social factor and the medical education in health were fundamental in the habit of this examination, as well as in the practice of mammography. |
