1. INTRODUCTION
Rotary Club of Ribeirão Preto belongs to Rotary 4540 District of Rotary International, a region that host clubs in the north of the State of São Paulo and southern of the State of Minas Gerais in Brazil.
The project involves the entire regional community, since the partner: the Hospital of Cancer of Ribeirão Preto receives patients from a regional area with a population of about 1.3 million inhabitants. In particular, the hospital assists patients who cannot afford to pay for private medical care. The project is sustainable and results will be a great achievement to the local community.
About the disease:
Breast cancer, today, has become a public health problem. Both incidence rates and mortality rates have been steadily increasing in Brazil. According to INCA - National Institute and Cancer in 2018 is expected 59,700 new cases of breast cancer, which is the one that kills the most.
Unfortunately, in Brazil 60% of the cases are still diagnosed late (stages III and IV). This rate reaches 80% when we include stage II of the disease. Thus, unlike in developed countries, mortality rates have been increasing in our country, as well as the costs of treatment.
Treatment and compliance:
Early diagnosis, in turn, is still the greatest weapon to reduce mortality due to this disease, impacting on the reduction of costs. In developed countries this has been happening, thanks to the encouragement and investment in population screening programs through mammography, associated with clinical examination of the breasts, which have proven to reduce mortality rates by at least 30%
A major problem has been the lack of no information and awareness among population about the disease, associated with insufficient access to mammographic exams offered by the Unified Health System (SUS).
Early detection is one of the most efficient methods used to diagnose cancer. In the case of breast cancer it is known that 95% of the cases diagnosed at the beginning have a possibility of cure, and in the case of uterine cancer , the possible cure is about 100%.
With this background the project is aligned with Rotary's focus area of prevention and treatment of diseases, destined to low incoming women.
