Análise do perfil de morbimortalidade por cancêr de mama em mulheres no Estado da Bahia

Abstract

Breast cancer is considered a major public health problem, responsible for the second leading cause of morbidity and mortality in women in all regions of Brazil, including the state of Bahia. Objective: To analyze the profile of morbidity and mortality due to breast cancer in women in the state of Bahia, from 2008 to 2017. Methodology: This is a temporal ecological study of quantitative character. It presents as a unit of analysis the state of Bahia and its time frame, the period from 2008 to 2017. The information systems used form: SIH-SUS and SIM with data extracted from the online platform of the SUS Department of Informatics.Results: The highest number of cases of breast cancer diagnosed in the age group of 40 to 59 years (53.7%) and the highest mortality rate in the age group of 60 years or over 51.9 per 100,000 women was observed. The highest number of deaths was observed in women with low education (21.4%), brown (55.5%) and single (34.2%). It was possible to verify the increase in the lethality rate in both age groups. Final considerations: Given the scenario of breast cancer in the state of Bahia, more control and screening actions are needed in women over 40 years in the state, allowing the diagnosis in early stages of cancer in order to reduce the high mortality rate and improve survival of these women.
