Sobrevida em pacientes com câncer gástrico em Campinas, São Paulo, Brasil

Abstract: This study analyzes the survival of gastric cancer patients in the city of Campinas, São Paulo State, Brazil. Data from the Campinas Population-Based Cancer Registry (RCBP) related to gastric cancer cases diagnosed from 1991 to 1994 were analyzed. Observed and relative survival rates were calculated, and to compare rates between different groups and international populations, the relative mortality risk was used. One-year relative survival rate for patients with gastric cancer was 33%, and five-year relative s… Show more

“…The mortality due to GC has been decreasing worldwide, including in Latin America (230,231) . In Brazil, despite a mild decrease, mortality is high, and the survival rate during the first year of disease is estimated at 32% and decreases to 9% at the end of 5 years (232)(233)(234) .…”

“…Researchers believe that mortality and morbidity rates of gastric cancer is high even after early detection of the disease because of high costs of treatment. 6 According to the study of Biglarian et al 7 the mortality from gastric cancer in Iran has increased in recent years. According to the researches, the increase in the incidence and changes in the pattern of the disease (mostly involving proximal parts of the stomach compared to distal parts) are the main reasons for the increase in mortality from this disease.…”

“…According to the findings of other studies, later seeking for medical care could result in diagnosis of disease in higher stages which contributes to increased mortality rates in these patients. 6,8 Health care providers should pay more attention to early diagnosis of patients to reduce their mortality rate.…”
