title: Public actions for control of breast cancer in Brazil: integrative review.
abstract: 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.
  
  
  METHODS
  this is an integrative literature review conducted in the databases MEDLINE, LILACS, SciELO and Google Scholar.
  
  
  METHODS
  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.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  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.
