Cervical cancer is a health issue that disproportionately affects developing countries, where the Papanicolaou test (Pap smear) remains an important screening tool. Brazilian government recommendations have focused on female population aged from 25 to 64 years old. In this study, we examined incidence and mortality rates of invasive cervical lesions in situ precancerous lesions, aiming calculate their respective statistics over time mid-sized city, Aracaju. The 1996–2015 database Aracaju...

Abstract Emerging economy countries in epidemiological transition have been especially challenged the fight against cancer. This was an ecological study that aimed to describe temporal trend of cancer mortality a Brazilian northeastern state with medium Human Development Index using official data from 1980 2018.

This study aimed to translate the Skin Cancer Index (SCI) into Portuguese, adapt it for Brazilian culture, and clinically validate it.A five-stage cross-cultural adaptation model was followed, with subsequent clinical validation. Inter-rater agreement assessed using content validity index (CVI). The hypothesis of non-inferiority CVI at 80% probability level evaluated an exact binomial test. We used Spearman's rank-order Pearson's product-moment correlation analysis, internal consistency...
