Tendência da mortalidade por câncer do útero no Município de São Paulo entre 1980 e 1999

Abstract

Uterine cervical cancer shows a higher incidence in some Brazilian cities. It is a common cause of death in women from developing countries, despite the longstanding availability of an effective screening test, the Pap smear. This study aimed to evaluate the temporal trends of crude, age-adjusted, and age-specific mortality rates from cervical cancer, endometrial cancer, and cancer of the uterus not otherwise specified (NOS) in the city of São Paulo from 1980 to 1999. Results showed a slight reduction in cervical cancer rates, a decrease in NOS uterine cancer rates, and an increase in endometrial cancer mortality rates. The fall in mortality from NOS uterine cancer indicates an improvement in diagnostic accuracy and quality of information on death certificates and may point to an increase in coverage of cervical cancer screening using the Pap smear.

Tendências da mortalidade por câncer nas capitais dos estados do Brasil, 1980-2004

“…If applicable to other capitals, this finding may explain the behavior of mortality rates observed in this study in association with the two diagnoses above. 15 It is also important to remember that the population of São Paulo alone corresponds to around one fourth of the total population of the capitals included in this study (10.7 millions of inhabitants of a total of 42.7 millions in 2004).…”

Perfil dos pacientes portadores de câncer colorretal operados em um hospital geral: necessitamos de um programa de rastreamento acessível e efetivo

“…9 Outros cânceres em que foi implementado um método nacional de rastreio apresentaram diminuição de sua mortalidade, como o câncer de mama, colo de útero e próstata. [10][11][12] . Os resultados de ensaios clínicos randomizados que comparam a mortalidade entre mulheres rastreadas e não rastreadas com mamografia, como método de detecção precoce, evidenciaram redução da mortalidade por câncer de mama no grupo Tabela 1 -Sintomas.…”

Cervical cancer mortality trends in Brazil, 1981-2006

“…A decrease in cervical cancer mortality had already been detected in some places in Brazil, like the city of São Paulo, but in the period studied (1980-1999) the observed decline was not statistically significant 25 . Antunes & Wünsch-Fillho 15 observed the important impact on cervical cancer mortality in this city after proportionally reallocating the deaths initially classified as "part unspecified" into either cervix uteri or corpus uteri.…”
