Contribuições de Documentos Orientadores para a Promoção da Atividade FÃsica no Sistema Único de Saúde na Prevenção e no Controle de Câncer
A prevenção e o controle do câncer são prioridades globais e a prevenção primária tem grande potencial de diminuir tanto os casos novos quanto as mortes por câncer. Entre as ações de prevenção primária, a atividade fÃsica (AF) tem sido ressaltada por diferentes instituições como importante aliada para a prevenção e o controle da doença. Assim, o objetivo do presente artigo de opinião é destacar a importância de documentos orientadores para a promoção da AF no Sistema Único de Saúde e suas contribuições para o controle do câncer no Brasil. São abordados os seguintes documentos: Guia de atividade fÃsica para a população brasileira; Guia de atividade fÃsica para a população brasileira: recomendações para gestores e profissionais de saúde; Dieta, nutrição, atividade fÃsica e câncer: uma perspectiva global – um resumo do terceiro relatório de especialistas com uma perspectiva brasileira; Atividade FÃsica e Câncer: recomendações para prevenção e controle. Conclui-se que esses documentos têm o potencial de ampliar conhecimentos e práticas de gestores e profissionais de saúde sobre a relação entre AF e prevenção e controle de câncer, subsidiando a atuação tanto na Atenção Primária à Saúde não apenas com enfoque na prevenção, mas também de pessoas a partir do diagnóstico, como na atenção especializada, e podem contribuir para a mudança do paradigma vigente e favorecer o incremento da atividade fÃsica durante e após o tratamento do câncer
Relationship between children's and maternal nutrition and diet in the first 1,000 days of a child’s life and the risk of childhood cancer: A scoping review
The objective of this scoping review is to understand the extent and type of evidence concerning the relationship between children's and maternal nutrition and diet in the first 1,000 days of a child's life and the risk of childhood cancer
Relationship between nutritional and dietary factors and the risk of recurrence or new primary tumors in survivors of pediatric and adolescent cancer: A scoping review
Objective: This scoping review aims to map the dietary and nutritional risk factors that in-crease the risk of recurrence or a new primary tumor in survivors of pediatric and ado-lescent cancer.
Introduction: Pediatric and adolescent cancer survivors are more likely to recurrence or develop a new primary tumor. Diet and nutrition play an essential role in favoring this scenar-io.
Inclusion criteria: We will guide the research question by the PCC (population, concept, and context) strategy, adapted from the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) Manual. The population in survivors of pediatric and adolescent cancer, the concept is dietary and nutritional risk factors, and the context is recurrence or new primary tumors. We will include cohort and case-control studies.
Methods: We will conduct a scoping review following the PRISMA-ScR checklist using the Rayyan software and Microsoft Excel. We will include studies published in Pubmed/Medline and Embasewith no publication year or language restriction
Costs of cancer attributable to excess body weight in the Brazilian public health system in 2018.
ObjectivesThe prevalence of excess body weight (EBW) has increased over the last decades in Brazil, where 55.4% of the adult population was overweight in 2019. EBW is a well-known risk factor for several types of cancer. We estimated the federal cost of EBW-related cancers in adults, considering the medical expenditures in the Brazilian Public Health System.MethodsWe calculated the costs related to 11 types of cancer considering the procedures performed in 2018 by all organizations that provide cancer care in the public health system. We obtained data from the Hospital and Ambulatory Information Systems of the Brazilian Public Health System. We calculated the fractions of cancer attributable to EBW using the relative risks from the literature and prevalence from a nationally representative survey. We converted the monetary values in Reais (R), considering the purchasing power parity (PPP) of 2018.ResultsIn Brazil, the 2018 federal cost for all types of cancers combined was Int 710 million was spent on EBW-related cancer care and Int 20.41 million (of which 80% was for chemotherapy) and Int$ 10.06 million (of which 82% was for surgery), respectively. Approximately 80% of EBW-attributable costs were due to breast, endometrial and colorectal cancers.ConclusionA total of 1.76% of all federal cancer-related costs could be associated with EBW, representing a substantial economic burden for the public health system. We highlight the need for integrated policies for excess body weight control and cancer prevention
The current and future costs of colorectal cancer attributable to red and processed meat consumption in Brazil
Abstract Background Compelling evidence supports the association between red and processed meat consumption and increased risk of colorectal cancer. Herein, we estimated the current (2018) and future (2030) federal direct healthcare costs of colorectal cancer in the Brazilian Unified Health System attributable to red and processed meat consumption. Considering reduced red and processed meat consumption, we also projected attributable costs of colorectal cancer in 2040. Methods We retrieved information on red and processed meat consumption from two nationally representative dietary surveys, the Household Budget Survey 2008–2009 and 2017–2018; relative risks for colorectal cancer from a meta-analysis; direct healthcare costs of inpatient and outpatient procedures in adults ≥ 30 years with colorectal cancer (C18-C20) from 2008–2019 by sex. Results Attributable costs of colorectal cancer were calculated via comparative risk assessment, assuming a 10-year lag. In 2018, US 86.6 million (19.3%). Counterfactual scenarios of reducing red and processed meat consumption in 2030 suggested that US 13 to 74 million could be saved in 2040, respectively. Conclusion Red and processed meat consumption has an escalating economic impact on the Brazilian Unified Health System. Our findings support interventions and policies focused on primary prevention and cancer
