Abstract
The Pap smear (PCCU) is a gynecological examination performed in women in order to detect damage to the cervix. Changes can be observed as a tissue disorder that makes up it. The objective of this work is to show confirmed cases of cervical cancer in Brazil between 2010 and 2014. The research was conducted with data taken from DATASUS (http://datasus.saude.gov.br). When there is good performance to prevent a disease considered serious, the result is satisfactory and effective. Through the results obtained by analyzing the data between the years 2010 and 2014, respectively, it is concluded that over the years the search for the test gradually increased, but some aspects persisted, such as the shame of performing the pcc test, fear, pain, among others. However, the results showed a high rate of tests in the southeast region and a lower rate in the north, with low dissemination and little awareness for women in the northern region. Therefore, the dissemination, awareness and performance of the cytopathological examination is very important for the prevention of cervical cancer, which today is the leading cause of mortality among Brazilian women

Summary
Preventive tests are performed to identify possible diseases and treat them in their beginnings (BRASIL, 2013). The Pap smear (PCCU) is a gynecological examination performed in women in order to detect damage to the cervix, which can become harmful to health (TEIXEIRA et al, 2015). This test is used to discover early changes in the cervix. It assists in the early diagnosis of female cancer, and can be treated in its initial state, avoiding an increase in the mortality rate among women (ARAÚJO et al, 2016) This examination should be performed by women who have a sexually active life or who are over 18 years of age. It relies on collecting and analyzing cervical samples to identify cancer (BARBER et al, 2009)
