Abstract:

The objective of this study was to identify the facilitating and coercive factors of the organization of the health care network that intervene in the access to the diagnosis and treatment of oral cancer. This is a case study of the Metropolitan I health region of the state of Rio de Janeiro, with data collection in information systems and 26 interviews with managers and professionals. Data analysis was performed using descriptive statistics and thematic analysis, in the light of Giddens\' Structuring Theory. Very low oral health coverage was identified in primary care with prioritization of access to priority groups and urgencies, making access to oral cancer diagnosis at this level of care difficult. The presence of the secondary network in all cities facilitates the diagnosis, but there are limits to treatment. Dentistry schools operate in the diagnosis as an informal network, an important action, but not financed. The regulation for the diagnosis was not restrictive, but for the treatment, the regulation was considered not transparent and time-consuming, with a lack of vacancies. Despite the advances, previous coercive factors and agents\' actions still persist, restricting the diagnosis and timely treatment of oral cancer.
