Dissemination of Antimicrobial Resistance and Potassium Tellurite (Pt) in the Hospital Environment: Can the Use of Means With Tellurite and the Detection of Insertion Sequences Contribute to Prevention and Intervention?

According to information released by the National Cancer Institute (INCA), cervical cancer ranks as the third most common cancer among women.Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection occurs most frequently in young women, given that it is a disease that affects women of reproductive age, a period that largely coincides with peak sexual activity.Currently, the Pap smear or oncological colpocytology is a highly effective method for detecting precancerous and cancerous lesions, contributing significantly to the reduction of mortality from cervical cancer.OBJECTIVE: This study aims to conduct a comprehensive investigation into the early detection of HPV and cervical cancer in primary health care.METHODOLOGY: The methodology includes a literature review of renowned databases, such as PubMed, Scielo, the Ministry of Health, and Fiocruz, covering the period from 2006 to 2023, using keywords such as HPV, cervical cancer, early detection, precancerous lesions, and primary health care.RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: Among the challenges faced by the primary health care system regarding cervical cancer and human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, there is a complex interplay of factors that influence the effectiveness of prevention and control strategies.However, limited awareness and inconsistent adherence to screening programs emerge as prominent challenges, resulting in late diagnoses that compromise treatment success rates.CONCLUSION: The complexity of these issues underscores the need for a multidisciplinary and collaborative approach involving healthcare professionals, researchers, public policy makers, and the community.By addressing these challenges and prioritizing emerging areas of research, it is possible to significantly improve the prevention, detection, and management of HPV-related conditions and CIN within the primary care system, thereby promoting women's health and well-being on a global scale.
