Abstract:

After more than ten years of continuity in cancer prevention and control and oral health policies, challenges remain to guarantee access to diagnosis and treatment. The objective of the study is to analyze the oncology and oral health policies, regarding the process of implanting the care components related to oral cancer. Ten policies were analyzed,the point of view of Structuration Theory, in addition to data on the supply of services between 2002 and 2017. In primary and secondary health care level, low coverage and regional inadequate distribution were highlighted, despite increased funding and the number of services. In tertiary care, the unequal distribution of surgery performed was identified. The limitation of home care services has made it difficult for users to access palliative care. There was convergence between the analyzed policies and a concern with the regulation of authoritative resources and with the increase of allocative resources, which stimulated the expansion of services. Should be invest in the expansion, regionalization and universalization of services. A possible setback in these policies could aggravate the situation and contribute to the increase of health inequalities.
