Years of life lost as a measure of cancer burden in Colombia, 1997-2012

Abstract: Introduction:There is hardly any information regarding years of life lost due to cancer in Colombia. Objective: To quantify total and average years of life lost due to cancer in Colombia, and to investigate changes in this burden between 1997 and 2012. Materials and methods: We obtained sex-specific data on age distribution, remaining life expectancy, deaths due to specific cancers and total number of deaths from the Colombian Departamento Administrativo Nacional de Estadísticas. We calculated years of life lo… Show more

“…The results of this study reveal the magnitude of premature mortality from cancer in the state of Mato Gross, from 2000 to 2019. The gross increase in PYLL in the period, also verified in another study 7 , may be associated with the growth of the population of Mato Grosso, since an increase in PYLL is expected as the population grows 16 . Between 2000 and 2019, the population of Mato Grosso increased by 39.1% 13 , which has been attributed, in part, to the intense migratory flow generated by agribusiness and its indirect effects on municipal economies, especially in the strengthening of the tertiary sector 17 .…”

“…There is a shortage of certain types of specialists, essential for the provision of quality cancer care, in addition to the limitations and deficiencies of primary health care in the early identification of suspected cases of cancer. This reveals the need for measures that promote the education and training of professionals working in primary care and directly in cancer care 7,25 . In Mato Grosso, an aggravating factor is the centralization of the network in the capital, with few services offered in other cities, making access to an early diagnosis and timely treatment difficult 26 .…”

“…For the PYLL coefficient for cancer, there was a decline of 4.9% for males and an increase of 33.20% for females. A study conducted in Colombia on premature mortality shows that from 1997 to 2012 the total PYLL for cancer increased, being higher in women than in men (18) .…”
