INCIDENCE AND MORTALITY TRENDS FOR BREAST CÂNCER IN GOIÂNIA: ANALYSIS 0F15YEARS (1988-2002)
Keywords:
Breast cancer, Epidemiology, Incidence, MortalityAbstract
The authors propose to evaluate the trend of incidence and mortality rates for
breast câncer in Goiânia, Goiás, Brazil, for a period of 15 years. Absolute values of
new breast câncer cases per year were crossed with the number of inhabitants for
the corresponding year (Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística - IBGE). The
values were adjusted for sex and age, according to international standards. Incidence
and mortality rates were calculated by dividing the number of new cases, or deaths, by
years, by the number of inhabitants for the corresponding year. The trend was verified
by means of a polynomial analysis for both the incidence and the mortality. During
that period 2,904 cases were recorded. The adjusted rate for the world population was
31.88/100,000 in 1988, and that figure increased to 51.35/100,000 in 2002 (R2 = 0.10).
The adjusted mortality rate was 14.87/100,000 in 1988, increasing to 25.09/100.000
in 1993 and decreasing to 18.18/100,000 in 2002 (R2 = 0.12). A slight increase was
verified in the incidence rate of breast câncer in Goiânia. Although mortality remained
unchanged from 1988 through 2002, a very discrete decline was detected for the last
seven years.
