Campanha Nacional de Prevenção ao Câncer de Pele: análise da taxa de resolutividade dos tumores cutâneos diagnosticados durante as campanhas do Dezembro Laranja de 2022 e 2023, realizadas em Jundiaí

INTRODUCTION: Cutaneous malignant tumors are preventable and have a high cure rate when diagnosed early, resulting in reduced morbidity and mortality. Early-stage cancer detection allows for timely treatment, leading to a better prognosis. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effectiveness of the “Skin Cancer Awareness Month” campaign in identifying potential cases of skin cancer and its resolution rate based on the time required for lesion treatment. METHOD: A retrospective analytical cross-sectional study with descriptive-quantitative characteristics. RESULTS: In 2022, the time between biopsy and curative surgery ranged from 94 to 218 days, with a median of 153 days. In 2023, the time between biopsy and curative surgery ranged from 12 to 249 days, with a median of 129 days. A statistically significant difference (p=0.04) was observed between the years 2022 and 2023 in the median time from biopsy to surgery. CONCLUSION: Improved efficiency in performing biopsies and surgeries, as well as enhanced patient adherence to treatment, was necessary.
