Indigenous health in Brazil is a challenge. National studies based on the analysis of mortality rates among indigenous peoples have revealed that lung, cervical, prostate, and stomach cancers are among the leading causes of death. Thus, the objective was to present the difficulties in preventing the development of neoplasms in indigenous societies and the most frequent cancers. This is an integrative literature review using the main databases: Virtual Health Library, National Library of Medicine, Cochrane Library and Scientific Electronic Library Online, with Health Sciences Descriptors Indigenous Peoples, Neoplasm and Brazil, Added the Boolean operator AND. Applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 15 articles remained in the final sample. The main difficulties encountered in the prevention of neoplasms in Brazilian indigenous peoples were: sociocultural practices, barriers to health care access, lack of information, and genetic causes. The main difficulties encountered in the prevention of neoplasms in Brazilian indigenous peoples were: sociocultural practices, barriers to accessing health care, lack of information and genetic causes. The most prevalent type of neoplasm was cervical cancer, followed by stomach cancer. Barriers to access to healthcare for the indigenous population were found, which may contribute to delays in the treatment of preventable diseases. Therefore, measures to improve access to healthcare are necessary, with the aim of early treatment and screening for neoplasms.
