Prevenção e Diagnóstico precoce de câncer de pele na Atenção Primária à Saúde pelos profissionais de saúde em Campo Alegre de Goiás.

Abstract

Skin cancer is one of the most prevalent neoplasms in Brazil, with a significant relationship to sun exposure and specific population risk factors. This intervention project (IP) aims to improve the prevention and early diagnosis of skin cancer at the Dr. Hélio Vaz Basic Health Unit in Campo Alegre de Goiás. The main objective is to implement educational actions and train health professionals, promoting knowledge about warning signs and preventive measures. The methodology involves conducting training sessions for the health team and creating protocols for evaluating skin lesions. The actions will be developed over twelve months, with continuous monitoring and annual evaluation of results. Expected results include increased knowledge among medical and non-medical professionals about skin cancer and greater early detection of suspicious lesions. It is expected that the proposed actions will contribute to a change in behavior regarding skin health. In conclusion, this project not only seeks to meet a community need but also to establish a health promotion model that can be replicated in other locations.
