    Abstract Background: Physical exercise in women with breast cancer has shown benefits in reducing fatigue levels during adjuvant radiotherapy and chemotherapy. However, it is not well understood which type of exercise is more effective.
    Objective: Assess the impact of different types of physical exercises on fatigue and which is the most effective in reducing this adverse effect during adjuvant treatment in breast cancer.
    Methods: The inclusion criteria were randomized clinical trials of physical exercise in women diagnosed with breast cancer in stages I to IV, above 18 years, evaluating fatigue using validated questionnaires. The meta-analysis pooled results by standardized mean difference (SMD).
    Results: A total of 20 randomized clinical trials involving 1793 participants revealed that the practice of physical exercise was statistically effective in reducing fatigue (SMD =  - 0.46; 95% CI: - 0.66, - 0.27). Our analysis of subgroups suggests that the supervised combination of resistance training (RT) with aerobic training (AT) is the most effective physical exercise to reduce fatigue (SMD =  - 1.13; 95% CI: - 2.09, - 0.17). The supervised RT was more effective (SMD =  - 0.30; 95% CI: - 0.46, - 0.15) than supervised AT or mind-body techniques. It was observed that only during chemotherapy, women with breast cancer in the intervention groups showed a significant reduction in fatigue (SMD =  - 0.38; 95% CI: - 0.55 to - 0.20).
    Conclusion: Physical exercise during adjuvant chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy in women with breast cancer can be considered beneficial in reducing fatigue, especially for women undergoing chemotherapy and for supervised training of resistance or combined RT and AT.

    Title translation Evaluation of missed opportunities in the control of vertical HIV transmission in Rio Branco, Acre State, Brazil.
    Abstract Vertical HIV transmission is still an important global public health problem. This study aimed to verify vertical HIV transmission in Rio Branco, Acre, Brazil, and to assess the possibility of its elimination. A cross-sectional study was conducted of HIV in pregnant women and a longitudinal study on the incidence of vertical HIV transmission in pregnant women living in the municipality (county) of Rio Branco in 2007-2015. The cohorts of pregnant women consisted of women who had liveborn children, stillbirths, or abortions. The data were obtained from the Brazilian Information System for Notificable Diseases (SINAN), Brazilian Information System on Live Births (SINASC), Brazilian Mortality Information System (SIM), and Brazilian Hospital Information Systems (SIH). Databases. Probabilistic database linkage was performed with the OpenRecLink software. The authors calculated the HIV prevalence rate in pregnant women, the vertical transmission rate, and the principal associated factors. HIV prevalence in pregnant women showed an upward trend, and the mean prevalence was 0.18%. Variables statistically associated with the occurrence of HIV in pregnant women were maternal age ≥ 20 years (p = 0.007), lower schooling (p = 0.054), and unmarried conjugal status/without partner (p = 0.001). Vertical HIV transmission was 6.9%. Use of antiretroviral therapy (ART) during prenatal care, even among pregnant women that already knew they were HIV-positive, was less than 90%. The elective cesarean rate was less than 60%, and the use of ART during delivery and by the newborn in the first 24 hours showed variations, depending on the period in which the maternal diagnosis was made. Although the strategies for the elimination of vertical HIV transmission are well established, this study's results point to important flaws in the cascade of care for HIV-infected pregnant women in Rio Branco.

    Abstract Aim: To evaluate the effect of delays in stage IA to IIIB cervical cancer treatment initiation and conclusion on hospital-based survival among Brazilian women.
    Methods: A retrospective follow-up study was conducted in a stage IA to IIIB cervical cancer cohort treated from 2012 and 2014 and followed until December 31, 2017 in Rio de Janeiro. Delay in treatment initiation definition was defined based on the Brazilian law of 60 days for treatment initiation after diagnosis. Delay in treatment conclusion was defined based on the literature and sample distributions: < 120/121-200/> 200 days. The endpoint was death(from all causes or cervical cancer). Death causes and dates were obtained by a record linkage procedure between the hospital cancer registry and the Mortality Information System. Global 36-month survival and HRs were estimated by the KaplanMeier method and proportional Cox regression models, respectively.
    Results: From 865 patients, 269(31.1%) died over the median follow-up time of 27 months. Delay on treatment initiation(>60-days) was 92.8%, while the delay in treatment conclusion(>120 days) was 87.5%. Overall survival was 61.3% (<60-days:62.6%; 61-90 days:63.5%). Among stage IIB-IIIB, women treated < 60-days presented 40.1% survival, while 61-90-days had 52.5%, and > 90-days had 53.3%. Delays in treatment conclusion significantly reduced survival[72.2%(<120-days) to 60.7%(>200-days)]. Multivariate analysis showed that delays in treatment initiation did not affect 36-month death risk. Compared to women concluding treatment in < 120-days, those taking 121-200-days or > 200-days showed increases in death risk of 89%(95%CI:1.10-3.24) and 111%(95%CI:1.31-3.39), respectively, regardless of age, stage, treatment protocol, and time to treatment initiation.
    Conclusion: Delays in cervical cancer treatment conclusion (but not treatment initiation) affected 36-month survival and death risk among Brazilians.

    Abstract Background: Averse birth-outcomes still affect newborns worldwide. Although high-quality prenatal care is the main strategy to prevent these outcomes, the effect of prenatal care based on Kotelchuck index combined with consultation contents is still unclear. Thus, this article to evaluate the effect of the quality of prenatal care (PC) process on birth indicators in a cohort of puerperaes who attended maternity hospitals in Brazilian western Amazon, city of Rio Branco, in the state of Acre, Brazil, in 2015.
    Methods: This research was a hospital-based cohort study. The sample consisted of 1,030 women who gave birth in maternity hospitals in the city between April 6 and June 30, 2015. This research was a hospital-based cohort study. The sample consisted of 1,030 women who gave birth in maternity hospitals in Rio Branco between April 6th. and June 30th., 2015. Prenatal care was classified as fully adequate when started ≤4th month; ≥80.0-109% expected consultations for GA according to the Kotelchuck Index; ≥5 records of blood pressure, weight, GA, fundal height, ≥4 records of fetal heart rate, fetal movements or equivalent to 75% of the number of consultations; in addition to recording ABO/RH, hemoglobin, VDRL, urine, glucose, anti-HIV and anti-toxoplamosis during the 1st trimester. The evaluated outcomes were low birth weight (LBW), preterm birth and vertical transmission of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/hepatitis/syphilis. Differences between proportions were assessed using the X² test, and the crude and adjusted odds ratios (OR) (95% CI) were estimated using unconditional logistic regression.
    Results: Overall cohort, the outcomes incidences were 8.8% for LBW, 9.2% for preterm birth, and 1.1% for vertical transmission (syphilis/HIV/hepatitis). Crude and adjusted OR showed that inadequate PC increased the risk statistically significant of LBW (ORcrude: 1.84; 95%CI: 0.99-3.44; ORadjusted: 1.87; 95%CI: 1.00-3.52), and preterm birth (ORcrude: 1.79; 95%CI: 1.00-3.29; ORadjusted: 3.98; 95%CI: 1.40-11.29).
    Conclusion: The results draw attention to the importance of quality PC in reducing the risks of LBW, preterm birth, and vertical transmission of syphilis/HIV/hepatitis. Moreover, using this proposed quality prenatal care indicator based on Kotelchuck index combined with consultations contents adjusted by GA may accurately predict unfavorable outcomes.

    Abstract Anemia during pregnancy is a significant risk factor for adverse maternal and fetal outcomes, including preterm birth, low birth weight, and maternal mortality. In Brazil, anemia prevention and treatment programs are available, but regional variations in prevalence and factors associated with antianemic drug use remain understudied. The objective was to identify the prevalence of gestational anemia and the factors associated with the use of antianemic drugs during pregnancy in a cross-sectional population-based study carried out in Rio Branco, AC. To do so, we planned a cross-sectional, population-based study with a total of 1190 postpartum women who gave birth between April 6 and July 10, 2015, were interviewed about demographic, socioeconomic, reproductive, and prenatal care factors. The prevalence of anemia during pregnancy was found to be 13.8 %, with 93.2 % of women using antianemic drugs, such as ferrous sulfate and folic acid. Factors positively associated with antianemic drug use were higher education (elementary school II RCajust = 2.46; 95 %, CI: 1.01-6.13; high school RCajust = 2.61; 95 %, CI: 1.11-6.12), primiparity (ACadjust = 1.69; 95 %, CI: 0.98-3.74), 6 to 8 prenatal consultations (ACjust = 2.16; 95, CI%: 1.15-4.05), and planned pregnancy (ARjust = 1.94; 95 %, CI: 1.05-3.74). Food security during pregnancy was inversely associated. These findings suggest that while anemia prevention and treatment programs exist, more targeted strategies are needed, particularly for women with lower socioeconomic status, to improve maternal and fetal health outcomes.

    Abstract Background: Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) is the most powerful predictor of relapse-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS). No studies have evaluated survival of acral melanoma (AM) undergoing SLNB in Brazil.
    Objective: The objective of this study was to investigate the factors associated with the survival of patients with AM undergoing SLNB.
    Materials and methods: Patients diagnosed with AM and submitted to SLNB were included in this study. We evaluated the epidemiologic, clinical, and histopathological data. Overall survival and RFS curves were estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Multivariable analyses were conducted using the Cox regression model.
    Results: Among the 201 patients, 117 (58.2%) were female. The median age was 64 years old. Median tumor depth was 5.0 mm. Lesions were ulcerated in 134 (66.7%). Five-year OS and RFS rates were 44.6% and 38.6%, respectively. Median follow-up time was 39 months. The factors associated with OS were Breslow thickness, ulceration, and SLNB status, and for RFS, they were Breslow thickness and SLNB status.
    Conclusion: This is the largest series of AM submitted to SLNB. The 5-year OS and RFS rates were low (44.6% and 38.6%, respectively), and the main prognostic factors for OS were Breslow thickness, ulceration, and the status of SLNB.

    Abstract OBJECTIVE To review the main instruments of functional assessment and health status cited in the literature to evaluate Brazilian workers and verify the compatibility of their items with the core set for professional rehabilitation. METHODS A review of the literature was conducted in the main databases in search of articles that used assessment instruments in populations of workers between 2007 and 2017. Subsequently, the contents of the identified instruments were retrieved, and two evaluators analyzed their items to verify the compatibility with the categories of the core set of the International Classification of Functioning for professional rehabilitation. Cohen's kappa coefficient was used to evaluate the agreement between the evaluators. RESULTS Five specific and eight generic instruments were selected to evaluate the functioning of workers. The analysis of the items of the total instruments allowed the definition of 58 categories (64.5%) of the core set with minimal overlap: 13 (76.5%) of the body functions component, 29 (72.5%) of the activities and participation component and 16 (49%) environmental factors. CONCLUSIONS The association of several instruments requires time and makes it difficult to use the classification. The development of instruments with direct association with its categories is essential to operationalize it.

    Abstract This study aimed to assess time trends in colorectal cancer incidence from 1983 to 2012 in Latin America. This was an ecological time-series study whose population consisted of individuals aged 20 years or older diagnosed with colorectal cancer. Data from population-based cancer registries in Cali (Colombia), Costa Rica, Goiânia (Brazil), and Quito (Ecuador), were used for rates estimation, while time trends estimations were proceeded by the Joinpoint Regression Program. The study showed an increase in colorectal cancer incidence in men and women in Cali (2.8% and 3.2%, respectively), Costa Rica (3.1% and 2.1%, respectively), and Quito (2.6% and 1.2%, respectively), whereas in Goiânia, only women showed an increase in colorectal cancer rates (3.3%). For colon cancer, we observed an increasing trend in incidence rates in men and women in Cali (3.1% and 2.9%, respectively), Costa Rica (3.9% and 2.8%, respectively), and Quito (2.9% and 1.8%). For rectal cancer, we observed an increasing trend in incidence in men and women in Cali (2.5% and 2.6%, respectively), Costa Rica (2.2% and 1%, respectively), and Goiânia (5.5% and 4.6%, respectively), while in Quito only men showed an upward trend (2.8%). The study found increases in colorectal cancer, colon cancer, and rectal cancer in four Latin America regions. This findings reflect lifestyle, such as dietary changes, following the economic opening, and the prevalence variations of colorectal cancer risk factors by sex and between the four studied regions. Finally, the different strategies adopted by regions for colorectal cancer diagnosis and screening seem to influence the observed variation between anatomical sites.

    Abstract Objectives: This study aims to estimate a population-based cancer incidence among indigenous populations in the State of Acre, Brazilian Western Amazon, to provide knowledge about cancer epidemiological profiles contributing to healthcare policies and service planning. Although cancer epidemiology in Brazil is well described through incidence and mortality estimate in the general population, cancer estimates among indigenous peoples are still unknown.
    Design: This is a descriptive study of cancer incidence among the indigenous population (2000-2012) in the State of Acre, Brazil. The sources used were population-based cancer registries of Goiânia, hospital-based cancer registry of Acre, São Paulo, and Porto Velho; Special Indigenous Health Districts databases of Acre, Goiânia, and São Paulo; Mortality Information System, and Rio Branco's public and private laboratories' reports. Standardized Incidence Ratio (SIR) was calculated using cancer incidence rates of Goiânia as reference.
    Results: From 137 cancer cases, 51.8% occurred in women and 32.1% in people aged 70 + . Among men, the most frequent cancer sites were stomach (25.8%), liver (15.1%), colorectal (7.6%), leukemia (7.6%), and prostate (6.1%). Among women, the most frequent were cervical (50.7%), stomach (8.5%), leukemia (5.6%), liver (4.3%), and breast (4.3%). Among men, there was an excess of cancer cases for stomach (SIR=1.75; 95%CI:1.67-1.83), liver (SIR=1.77; 95%CI:1.66-1.88), and leukemia (SIR=1.64; 95%CI:1.49-1.78). In women, an excess of cancer cases was observed for cervical (SIR=4.49; 95%CI:4.34-4.64) and liver (SIR=2.11; 95%CI:1.88-2.34). A lower cancer incidence for prostate (SIR=0.06; 95%CI:0.05-0.07) and female breast (SIR=0.12; 95%CI:0.11-0.14) was observed.
    Conclusions: Cervical, stomach, and liver cancers corresponded to 52% of the cases and were highly incident among the Brazilian indigenous population of Western Amazon compared to non-indigenous counterparts. Despite the low frequency of breast and prostate cancer, the fact they were present among indigenous peoples suggests a complex epidemiological transition framework in these populations.

    Abstract Objective:  The objective of this study was to identify the perspective of the specialists about functioning in women with cervical cancer (CC).
    Methods:  A study was conducted with specialists using the Delphi methodology. The specialist contacts were found in oncology organizations and associations, as well as in a referral hospital in the treatment of CC. The questions that the experts answered covered the biopsychosocial domains of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF).
    Results:  Twenty-five specialists participated in the study. The experts' responses generated 485 significant concepts. The categories that presented the highest frequencies of reporting by the specialists were health services, systems and policies; structure of the reproductive system; health professionals and sexual function.
    Conclusion:  Regarding the perception of the specialists, this study concluded that 24 categories of ICF are the most relevant in the context of functioning in women with CC. The results suggest that the biopsychosocial perspective was incorporated in the experts' perceptions about the functioning phenomenon in women with CC in Brazil.
