Diferenças de gênero na tendência de mortalidade por câncer de pulmão nas macrorregiões brasileiras

Abstract: O câncer de pulmão é a primeira causa de óbito por câncer entre homens e a segunda entre mulheres no Brasil. Em países desenvolvidos, a mortalidade por este tipo de câncer vem declinando entre homens, mas não entre as mulheres. Este estudo analisou as tendências de mortalidade por câncer de pulmão no Brasil para homens e mulheres durante o período de 1979 a 2003 em todo o país e nas cinco macrorregiões. Foram calculadas taxas de mortalidade padronizadas por idade e específicas para os grupos etários de 40-59 e… Show more

“…Silva et al 18 , analyzing mortality from lung cancer in Brazil over the period 1979-2003, identified an increase of 29.0% among men and 86.0% among women. Analysis by region showed that in the Southeast region, between 1996 and 2003, the youngest age group (40-59 years) showed a decrease in mortality among men and an increase among women.…”

“…Considering the importance of lung cancer in the epidemiological profile of the Brazilian population 18 and the persisting problems regarding the quality of death reports in the country, mortality analyses should incorporate methods to correct underreporting of deaths and redistribute ill-defined and nonspecific causes of death. Following such adjustments, time analyses aimed at determining the existence of significant increasing or decreasing trends are important to assess whether mortality rate reduction targets are being met.…”

“…Over the same period, that rate increased from 3.0 to 5.4 deaths/100,000 population among women. Mendonça et al ( 7 ) observed that, although the magnitude of lung cancer mortality is greater among men, the increase in the age-adjusted mortality rate was much greater among women (80%) than among men (23.6%) in the study period (1979-2003).…”

“…Among females, an expressive increase of 20.7% in the coefficient was reported for the period, with lung cancer as the second leading cause of death from neoplasms in females after breast cancer. 17 Increased lung cancer mortality among males in Northeast Brazilian state capital cities and the fall in this rate with effect from the mid 1990s in the other state capitals have been reported elsewhere, 18 as has the difference in mortality behavior between the interior regions of states and their capitals. 19 Repeated identification of an irregular and especially unfavorable pattern in mortality from this neoplasm, with evidence of geographic disparity, suggests the need for greater surveillance efforts to ensure that lung cancer risk factor control programs reach the entire population equally, thus impacting positively on the scenario analyzed.…”
