Abstract: This study presents an analysis of cervical cancer screening using cytopathological exams in the city of Alegre between 2014 and 2023. Describing cervical cancer as a serious condition linked to HPV infection. The study employs a quantitative and descriptive methodology, analyzing secondary data from DATASUS/SISCAN to identify epidemiological and operational patterns of screening. It presents and discusses data on the number of exams, the sociodemographic characteristics of the women screened (age group and race/color), and technical aspects of the exams, such as the collection interval, sample adequacy, and results of previous cytology tests, including the identification of atypias. The conclusions highlight variations in collection and delivery intervals, the high conformity of sample adequacy, the diversity in the periodicity of exams, and the presence of low and high-grade atypias, highlighting the fragility of education data as a limitation for the complete understanding of the profile of the women screened. We believe that the study will contribute to health managers by enabling the identification of weaknesses and improvements in the examination recording processes.
