Objective:
to assess the implementation of actions for early detection of breast cancer in Primary Care and to verify the adequacy of these actions with the Ministry of Health recommendations.
Method:
a cross-sectional study conducted from September 2017 to March 2018 with 736 women registered in Basic Health Units in two municipalities in Acre. For data collection, a validated questionnaire was used. In statistical analysis, the chi-square test or Fisher’s exact test was applied.
Results:
the frequency of mammography was 42%. Of the women at standard risk for breast cancer, only 5,8% underwent mammography properly.
Conclusion:
there was a low compliance of early detection actions to the Ministry of Health recommendations; thus, the need to adopt measures to increase professionals’ adherence to government proposals is highlighted, as well as continuous actions assessments.

Objectives:
to analyze Brazilian scientific production on patient access to the oncology network under the “Sixty-Day Law”.
Methods:
integrative review of the literature in the databases Lilacs, PubMed and Scielo. The descriptors used were: neoplasms, health services accessibility, early detection of cancer. Articles published from 2015 to March 2019 were included.
Results:
17 articles were analyzed and four themes emerged: inequality in access; qualification of Primary Care professionals; time as a determinant factor; information system as limiting factor.
Conclusions:
the access to the oncology network is unequal and there are several barriers faced by the users. A continuing education of health professionals is necessary to implement preventive strategies. Treatment initiation is late, showing non-compliance with the law. The health care network is highly fragmented, there is lack of coordination between the services and, consequently, there is a lack of patient follow-up.

Objective:
to analyze the scientific production on "breast cancer" in the period from 2002 to 2013 and determine the public policies for screening and early diagnosis of breast cancer.
Method:
this is an integrative literature review conducted in the databases MEDLINE, LILACS, SciELO and Google Scholar. Inclusion criteria: year and period of publication; availability of the full article; publication in Brazil; and the cross-check of the keywords Breast Cancer, Primary Health Care, Screening Programs, and Early Detection of Cancer.
Results:
after analysis, four thematic categories were obtained: breast self-examination, clinical examination of breast, mammography, and factors that hinder the adherence to the screening.
Conclusion:
health professionals have deficits of knowledge on the area, indicating the need for other studies on the subject addressed and greater investment in continuing education of professionals.
