• Abstract: Breast cancer, as an important cause of morbidity and mortality in Brazil and around the world, requires a properly structured health care network. Objective: to identify the procedure and regulatory mechanism for referring women with breast cancer to highly complex oncological care in Pernambuco. Method: 6 interviews were carried out with regulation and coordination managers of the state oncology policy. Results: The study showed deficiencies in the care regulation system regarding access to breast cancer treatment; spontaneous demand was identified as the access mechanism used by users in oncology services. Conclusions: The findings suggest that it is necessary to invest in the expansion of network evaluation studies, in order to provide better access conditions, ensuring equal access to services.
