EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS TO MODERNIZE CERVICAL CANCER DETECTION AND PREVENTION PROGRAMS IN BRAZIL: CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES - A NARRATIVE REVIEW
State-of-the-art molecular testing and effective screening of at-risk vulnerable populations for cervical lesions and for the presence of HPV still face regional, logistical and infrastructure barriers. To improve cervical cancer prevention, detection and treatment in Brazil, it is necessary to provide upgraded vaccination, screening and treatment strategies, with a focus on an equitable country-wide access to comparable health services.
