RESUMO

Objective: to assess compliance and identify lacks of adherence with the recommendations for breast cancer screening by mammography. Subject and Methods: Prospective study which follow-up 460 women in the city of Taubaté, São Paulo, Brazil, during five years after perform index mammography, 327 of them attended by the public health system and 133 by the private system. The adherence to mammographic screening were assessed through number of underwent mammographies in this period and repeated intervals among the exams at 18, 24 and 30 month, respectively. Prevalence of repeat mammography and predictors associated to adherence to current mammographic screening were analyzed. The repeated interval among mammographies above 30 month was selected to define lack of adherence to opportunistic mammographic screening. The outcomes associations with independent variables were studied by risk ratio (RR) and 95% confidence intervals (95%CI) performed through Cox-regression model. Results: although more than 90% of the studied women repeated the mammography at least once, the rate of correct compliance with the recommendations of mammographic screening, with repetition of the procedure every 24 months, was low, around 30%, in sample studied. The adherence flaws ocurred in about 51.1% of the interviewees and the unequal access to healthcare services, public or private (RR 1.44; 95%CI 1.06-1.96), absence of previous screening (RR 1.53; 95%CI 1.17-2.00), less visiting medical services (RR 1.41; 95%CI 1.05-1.89) were the associated factors to lack of adherence. Conclusion: we concluded that compliance with the recommendations to mammographic screening for breast cancer was low in both studied population segments. The opportunistic model of mammographic screening policies provokes recurrent lack of adherence which is more common among women attended in public healthcare services
