“…Regression analysis of trends in other parts of the world shows that the decline in gastric cancer shows no evidence of stabilization not only in Brazil but also in Europe and in other areas of world (32) . There is a predominance of cases in males, which is com patible with the natural history of disease and this pattern is also observed in the rest of the world (25) .…”

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.

“…The different mortality trends encountered herein can be partially attributed to that fact that therapeutic services are much more limited in less developed regions of Brazil (the North and Northeast). In municipalities in the interior of these areas, Silva et al 19 have found increases in cancer rates twice as high as those registered in capital cities of the country. In these regions, low-income individuals that use the public health system occasionally suffer as a result of late diagnoses, precariousness of services and tardiness in beginning treatment, which compromises prognostics.…”

Future burden of prostate cancer mortality in Brazil: a population-based study

Prostate cancer mortality projections at the nationwide and regional levels to the year 2025 are carried out in this ecological study that is based on an analysis of Brazilian trends between 1996 and 2010. The predictions were made for the period 2011-2025 utilizing the Nordpred program based on the period of 1996-2010, using the age-period-cohort model. A significant increase was observed in the Brazilian rates between 1996 and 2006, followed by a non-significant decrease. The projections indicate a decrease in rates at a national level as well as for the Central, South and Southeast regions. Increases are expected for the North and Northeast regions. In conclusion, a reduction in the mortality rates for prostate cancer in Brazil is expected to the year 2025, as well as for the Central, South and Southeast regions. However, an increase in the absolute number of deaths in all regions is expected due to the anticipated aging of the population.

“…The reduction on CC mortality verified recently in a few state capitals may be partially attributed to this program, which has been intensified in the last decade [18]. Nevertheless, the incidence of CC in 2012 was estimated to be of about 17/100,000 women with huge regional differences.…”

J. E. Levi et al. 471consisted of 2464 subjects under routine screening. Cervical samples were collected using SurePath liquid cytology (LBC) device, and split into aliquots which were submitted to molecular testing by Hybrid Capture and cobas HPV. Colposcopy and biopsies were made according to the standard guidelines, directed by cytological diagnosis. Results: Prevalence of HSIL was 5.97% and 0.7% in Group A and B respectively. High-Risk HPV DNA was found in about 9% of group B women, while in group A this frequency was 24%. Having CIN3+ as the study end-point, the negative predictive values for molecular methods were above 99.8%. All "in-situ" and invasive cervical carcinomas were detected by both HPV nucleic acid assays. Conclusion: Use of HPV DNA testing was feasible and highly sensitive in cancer screening settings of Brazil.
