Abstract
Introduction and aims of the study: cervical cancer is the fourth cause of cancer death among women in Brazil. Taking the current COVID-19 pandemic in consideration, the screening for cervical cancer with Pap smear may have been badly affected. The adherence to the test has diminished, maybe due to people's fear of frequenting health services. This study aims to analyze the number of Pap smears performed in Brazil before the COVID-19 pandemics and during, in order to track down a possible reduction in cervical cancer screening.
