The present study has as main topic of discussion the Community Health Agent as essential actor for prevention and control of cancer, along with the staff of FHS. We focus our attention here specifically, through the eyes of the CHW, the risks and to facilitate the development of cancer attitudes, as well as alarm signals. We had as guiding to this research the following question: the Community Health Workers, after receiving proper training, attain sufficient skills to work in cancer control, through actions of risk identification and health education? So if systematized the main objective, which was to develop a model of intervention that contribute to cancer control in primary care, with the CHW as the primary mediator. This is an intervention research, cross-sectional qualitative approach, having as object of study, the work of CHW as an instrument of the ESF for cancer control. A sample of five CHW's was selected as the main participants and eight families as secondary participants. For production data, a field research was used, which included the observational method. This production was divided into two stages: a study of effectiveness and efficiency study. Regarding data analysis, we had two periods of interpretation seeking to organize our discussion into two interpretive matrices: considerations of the activities and the corollary of the actions, each with their respective categories and themes. This analysis relied on the theoretical and methodological support of thematic content analysis proposed by Bardin (2011). As for the results, we implement after prior intervention plan, we could reach results supported the model of intervention that we propose to research. Thus, it was possible to see how this should be organized and what steps should be performed. At first, this intervention has sparked changes in the daily lives of participants, resulting in positive health behaviors. The CHW's met expectations and after work training performed well in research and health education activities. Therefore, this research still can not answer whether the intervention produced, in short, is capable of causing long-term changes, and especially if these changes have helped in reducing cancer rates. It is worth to notice that such interventions to be successful, the partnerships need to be strengthened. This way, we can have an efficient public health and at the same time, a primary care quality, it requires in fact, that all work together.
