Screening for cervical cancer in imprisoned women in Brazil.

Context And Objective: Incarcerated women are more vulnerable to developing cervical cancer than women in general; therefore, screening and intervention programs must be included in their healthcare provision. We therefore aimed to investigate the state of cervical cancer screening for imprisoned women in Mato Grosso do Sul, and to analyze the interventions geared toward the control of cervical cancer.

Materials And Methods: This was a cross-sectional study with analysis of primary and secondary data.
