“…There are differences among Brazilian regions and states. In a Brazilian study it was observed that, in Belém (13) rates found in men were similar to that of Brazil (20) and in rural area of the state of Rio de Janei ro (16) . On the other hand, they were higher than those observed for the state of Rio Grande do Sul (26) .…”

CONTEXT: The most recent global estimate revealed the presence of about one million new cases of stomach cancer for the year 2008, setting itself as the fourth most common cause of cancer. OBJECTIVE: The present study aims to assess the trend of mortality from stomach cancer in Brazil according to regions between 1980 and 2009. METHODS: Data on deaths from stomach cancer were obtained from the Mortality Information System, and the demographic data, from the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics. The rates of mortality were standardized by age according to world population. The trend curves were calculated for Brazilian regions by sex. The technique used was polynomial regression and joinpoint. RESULTS: The tendency for males and females is similar in all regions, although the magnitude is higher among men in all places. Regions Midwest, South, Southeast tended to decline, while the Northern region showed no significant trend, and the Northeast tended to increase. CONCLUSION: It is therefore a need to evaluate public health policies for gastric cancer aimed at the demographic transition (change of urbanization and lifestyle) that is occurring throughout the country.

“…A trend for an increase in lung cancer mortality rates in women has already been seen in a study conducted in Rio Grande do Sul, between 1979 and 1995. 17 This trend towards increase lung cancer mortality in the South region may be a reflection of the prevalence of smoking among women, given that the greatest prevalence of female smokers aged 18 or over in the Brazilian capitals was found in Porto Alegre (21%), followed by Curitiba (17%), with Florianó-polis in 9 th place with a prevalence of 11%. 18 The analysis of female breast cancer mortality trends demonstrated a significant increase in mortality for Brazil in the Northeast, North and Mid-West regions, a decrease for the Southeast region, and stationary trend for the South.…”

Conflict of interest: noneObjective: to analyze female breast cancer mortality trends in Brazil and its regions. Methods: female breast cancer mortality in Brazil and its regions was analyzed using mortality data from the Ministry of Health's Mortality Information System and the National Cancer Institute between 1991 and 2010. The variables analyzed were. proportional mortality from female breast cancer in relation to total deaths in women, mortality rates of the five primary locations of the neoplasms most common in women, and mortality rates for female breast cancer: Linear regression models were estimated to analyze mortality trends: Results: a growth in proportional mortality due to female breast cancer in Brazil and its regions was observed: In relation to the mortality rates for the five primary types of cancer, breast cancer persisted in first place in Brazil and its regions, except the North region, where cervical cancer was the most frequent: Rising female breast cancer mortality rates were observed for Brazil (p = 0.017), Northeastern (p < 0.001), North (p < 0.001) and the Mid-West (p = 0.001), regions, and declining rates for the Southeast region (p = 0.047), and stable rates for the South region. Conclusion: the results emphasize the importance of the disease in terms of public health in the country, reinforcing the need for early detection and appropriate treatment.

“…A significant proportion of deaths from cervical cancer is reported as neoplasm of "uterus, not otherwise specifi ed (NOS)," which hinders the assessment of the actual impact of this disease. In an attempt to address this issue and generate more realistic statistics, researchers 7,9,19 have included in their analysis total cases of uterine cancer not otherwise specifi ed, in addition to cervical cancer cases. In fact, Wünsch & Moncau (2002 ) 19 claim that this inclusion has allowed to reset trends based on socioeconomic profi le of populations and Brazilian macroregions.…”

OBJECTIVE:To develop a methodology for correction of reported cervical cancer deaths in Brazil.METHODS: Data on 9,607,177 cancer deaths were obtained from the Brazilian National Mortality Database for the period between 1996 and 2005. For correction of underreporting of deaths, factors generated by the Global Burden of Disease Study in Brazil-1998 were used. Proportional distribution was used in order to correct the categories of unknown, incomplete or ill-defi ned death diagnosis. The corrections were applied to each Brazilian state and the results were presented for Brazil nationwide, macroregions, and geographical areas (capital, other cities of metropolitan areas and interior cities) as percent variability of cervical mortality rates before and after correction. Corrections were analyzed by multivariate linear regression with interaction terms between macroregion and geographical area. RESULTS:After correction, cervical cancer mortality rates showed an increment of 103% nationwide, ranging between 35% (Southern region capitals) and 339% (Northeastern region interior cities). The reallocation of cervical cancer deaths not otherwise specifi ed resulted in greater mortality rate increments. The percent correction by year of death revealed steady trends nationwide. CONCLUSIONS:The study results showed that the proposed methodology was appropriate for the correction of cervical cancer mortality rates in Brazil. It evidenced that cervical cancer mortality is even higher than that reported.
