Brazilian women, particularly high-risk populations, may face increased healthcare costs for preventive medications and monitoring. However, potential reduction in expensive cancer treatments could offset costs. Access disparities may widen between public and private healthcare systems.
Brazilian health authorities (ANVISA, SUS) may need to evaluate coverage policies for preventive medications. Potential for expanded pharmaceutical reimbursement programs, increased screening protocols, and public health campaigns. May require physician training on risk assessment and patient counseling regarding medication trade-offs.
