    Objective: Evaluate the implementation of actions for early detection of breast cancer in Primary Health Care (PHC) by users of Basic Health Units (UBS) in two municipalities of Western Amazon. Method: Cross-sectional study. The sample consisted of 736 women from 35 to 69 years old, eligible UBS users. The collection took place in Family Health Strategy UBS from September / 2017 to March 2018, using a structured questionnaire, based on national protocols and guidelines published until 2015 as references. Statistical analysis was performed using the R® Core Team (2018) software, applying Chi-square or Fisher Exact tests, with a significance level of 5%. Results: Among the 736 women, 82.3% lived in the urban area, 40.1% were married, 76.4% of mixed race / brown color, 48.2% were illiterate or had not completed elementary school and 63.9% were from the city. class of. The frequency of breast examination in women at high risk and standard risk was 39.7% and mammography 42%. The adequacy of clinical breast examination reached 21% of women at risk for breast cancer. Proper mammography was performed in 66.7% in high-risk women and 5.8% in standard-risk women. Most women were instructed to have mammography after 40 years, consequently, the prevalence of annual mammographic examination was higher in women from 40 to 49 years. There was greater adequacy in the clinical examination of breasts and mammography in women with standard risk for breast cancer in Cruzeiro do Sul than in Rodrigues Alves, but this is much lower than recommended. Conclusion: In the socio-demographic characterization of the age groups, it was found that low education and income are more frequent in women from 50 to 69 years old than in women from 35 to 39 years old and from 40 to 49 years old, making them more vulnerable. socially. The early detection actions implemented are in disagreement with national recommendations, which may pose a higher risk to women. Given this, it is necessary to create strategies to increase the adherence of health professionals to government proposals, as well as continuous evaluation of actions performed in PHC services.
