“…A recent study has shown that general accuracy of vital statistics has worsened in Argentina, Colombia and México during the period 2000-2011, 20 but is countered by one Colombian study that reported the reasonable quality of death certification for cancer deaths. 21 The declining lung cancer mortality rates observed among males in the seven countries with mortality data, accompanied by rising rates among females, probably reflects the historical and gender-specific smoking profiles, with smoking prevalence among men earlier and falling versus a later and rising smoking uptake among women. Unfortu- Bray F, Piñeros M and breast cancer incidence, given precursor lesions are not the target of the intervention.…”

Objective. To develop a situation analysis encompassing the patterns and trends in cancer incidence and mortality in South and Central America and the Caribbean, with comparisons globally and with selected external countries. Materials and methods. Data on cancer incidence and mortality rates for 31 countries were obtained from the 2012 GLOBOCAN database. Incidence and mortality trends for selected countries were analysed with data from the Cancer Incidence in Five Continents (CI5) series and the WHO Mortality Database, respectively. Results. In 2012, almost 1.1 million new cancer cases were estimated annually, with important variations in rates across countries. The most common cancer types were breast, prostate, colorectum and lung cancer; stomach and cervical cancer ranked high in less developed countries. Increasing trends were observed in prostate, breast and colorectal cancer; lung cancer mortality trends diverged among males and females, while cervix cancer incidence and stomach cancer mortality uniformly decreased. A 66% increase in cancer cases in the region by 2030 is projected based on population aging and growth. Conclusions. Cancer patterns and trends reflect the significant sociodemographic changes in the region: the growing burden imposes great challenges to national health care systems to implement cancer control actions, while improving cancer surveillance to effectively measure the response.Keywords: cancer; mortality; incidence; Latin America ResumenObjetivo. Analizar la situación y tendencias en la incidencia y mortalidad por cáncer en América del Sur, Central y el Caribe, en comparación con patrones mundiales. Material y métodos. Los datos de incidencia y mortalidad por cáncer de 31 países se obtuvieron de la base de datos de GLOBOCAN 2012. Para analizar las tendencias de incidencia y mortalidad en países seleccionados, los datos se obtuvieron de la serie Incidencia de Cáncer en Cinco Continentes (CI5) y de la base de datos de mortalidad de la OMS, respectivamente. Resultados. En 2012, se estimaron casi 1.1 millones de nuevos casos de cáncer al año, con variaciones importantes en las tasas entre los distintos países. Los tipos de cáncer más comunes fueron cáncer de mama, próstata, colon y recto, y de pulmón; los cánceres de estómago y cuello uterino ocuparon puestos altos en los países menos desarrollados. Se observaron tendencias crecientes en cáncer de próstata, mama y colorrectal; las tendencias de mortalidad por cáncer de pulmón presentaron tendencias divergentes entre hombres y mujeres, mientras que la incidencia de cáncer de cuello uterino y la mortalidad por cáncer de estómago disminuyeron. Para el año 2030 se espera un incremento del 66% en los casos de cáncer. Conclusiones. Los patrones y tendencias del cáncer reflejan los importantes cambios sociodemográficos en la región e imponen grandes desafíos a los sistemas de salud para responder a la creciente carga, así como para mejorar la vigilancia del cáncer.

“…The incidence / mortality ratio of the period of interest of each regional RCPob is incorporated into a mathematical model that uses this information and the mortality observed in each department as inputs to estimate the departmental and national incidence 3 , 11 . The validity of the estimates depends on the quality of the information and also on the accurate quality of the certification of general mortality and cancer in Colombia and the coverage of the certification is close to 100% 12 .…”

Background: The Cali Population Cancer Registry (RPCC) has been in continuous operation since 1962 with the objective of producing valid statistics on the incidence of cancer, its patterns, trends and survival rates.Methods: During the period 2008-2012, 23,046 new cases were registered and during 2011-2015 there were 12,761 cancer deaths. The trend of the rates was described with the APC average annual change rate and with the Joinpoint analysis. We analyzed the individual data of 38,671 adults (15-99 years) diagnosed with cancer between 1995-2009, and we calculated the standardized net survival by age for the 14 most common cancer body sites, using the Pohar-Perme method.Results: Prostate and breast cancer were the first cause of cancer morbidity. The incidence rates in these were susceptible to early detection, tumors stabilized after decades of growth, while an increase in the incidence of colon cancer and papillary thyroid carcinoma was observed. The incidence rates of cervical and stomach cancer and conditions related to infectious agents decreased, although the number of absolute cases increased, due to the growth and aging of the population. Gastric cancer was responsible for the highest number of cancer related deaths. The types of cancer related to tobacco consumption (lung, oral cavity, esophagus, pancreas, urinary bladder) showed low numbers and a tendency to decrease. During the period 2000-2004, the 5-year net survival improved for cancers of the breast, cervix, prostate, melanoma and thyroid, although in the period 2005-2009 a stagnation was observed. In stomach, liver and lung cancer, the 5-year net survival was less than 15%. The 5-year overall survival in children was 51.0% (95% CI: 47.5, 54.3) and in adolescents 44.6% (95% CI: 36.0, 52.8).Comment: RPCC has been an advisor to the Colombian government in the evaluation of CPRs in the country and its data has contributed significantly to different aspects of cancer control in Colombia.

“…Brazil recorded more than 1.31 million deaths in 2017, accounting for over 96% of all deaths; of these deaths, 36.5% were garbage codes (GCs). (3)(4)(5) GCs are a classic indicator of the quality of health information systems, (6)(7)(8) and have been used as an indicator of the level of comprehensiveness and specificity of information on death certificates. (9) It is not uncommon for records to not specify a valid COD, requiring in-field collection of supplementary information.…”

Background: Accurate cause of death (COD) data are essential for policy and planning. Garbage codes (GCs), such as external causes with no further specific information, are commonly used as an indicator of poor quality of COD information. The investigation of GC using an effective instrument is necessary to convert them into useful data for public health. Aim: This study was conducted to analyze the effectiveness of the new investigation of deaths from external causes (IDEC) form, proposed by Ministry of Health, Brazil, to improve the quality of COD. Methods: The study compared the performance of the IDEC form on 164 external GC deaths with a stratified matched sample of 2,283 external GC deaths that used the existing standard GC form. The percentage of GCs that were reclassified into valid causes was calculated. Analyses according to subgroup (age, type of external cause) and exploration of the reclassifications of deaths between different cause groups were conducted. Qualitative data on the feasibility of the form were recorded by form users. Results: Investigation using the new form reduced all external GCs by 93% (95% confidence interval [CI] -97%, -88%), while the existing form decreased GCs by 66% (95% CI -68%, -64%). The IDEC form was most effective for external-cause GCs not of undetermined intent. Deaths that remained GCs were mainly due to a lack of detailed information on the circumstances of death, primarily poisoning and unspecified vehicle accidents occurring in a residence or on a road without witnesses. The IDEC form was found to be satisfactorily feasible in general, with specific suggestions for further improvement determined. Conclusions: The new form was more effective than the current standard form in reducing GCs and improving the quality of external causes. Feedback from the fieldwork highlighted opportunities for further improvement of external cause data.
