“…Higher mortality rates were observed for men in the south and southeast, whose rate ratio reached values of 1.72 for the city of Florianópolis and 0.20 for the city of Manaus (19) , both in Brazil. Our findings indicated differences in the risk of death by sex when rates were analyzed by age group; we observed a higher risk of death among men aged 70 to 79 years after 1997.…”

Em relação à mortalidade, no Brasil, este tipo de neoplasia situa-se na quinta posição entre as causas de óbitos mais frequentes para ambos os sexos 31 . A variabilidade dos comportamentos clínico e biológico do CCR tem suscitado grande interesse pelo estudo de fatores que possam estar associados à progressão da neoplasia e, conseqüentemente, ao prog- nóstico da doença 26,37 .…”
