Abstract:
:This study analyzes the health of Kaingáng women in the Faxinal indigenous territory in Paraná State, Brazil, with regard to risk factors for breast cancer. A descriptive and exploratory investigation was undertaken that included 95.4% of females 20 years or over. Data showed that 92.3% of Kaingáng women reported breastfeeding for more than one year; 41.4% had more than 5 children; mean age at menarche was 13.4 years; 61.5% had never heard of breast cancer; breast self-examination was only performed by 2.9%; 81.7% reported no clinical breast examination by a physician; 99% had never had a mammogram. No cases of breast or non-breast cancer were reported. The study highlights protective factors against carcinogenesis and the absence of key risk factors like hormone replacement therapy for more than five years and alcohol consumption in most Kaingáng women.
