Título

Colorectal Neoplasia: An investigation of the mortality rate in the Federative States (Units) of Brazil, from 2008 to 2018.

Introdução

The study aims to evaluate the mortality rate of Colorectal Cancer in the Federal Units of Brazil in the last 10 years, using aggregate data. This is a quantitative descriptive theoretical study, in which aggregate data from 26 Brazilian states plus the Federal District were analyzed, in a retrograde time series, referring to the years from 2008 to 2018. Analyzing the evolution of the crude death rate of Colorectal Cancer in Brazil, we see that the rate shows linear and uniform growth in all years from 2008 to 2018, and this growth happens in both sexes, maintaining a well-balanced rate in all years.

Objetivo

Primary: Evaluate the colorectal cancer mortality rate in the Federative States (Units) of Brazil in the last 10 years, using aggregated data.
Secondary: Assess the colorectal cancer mortality rate according to the gender, Assess the mortality rate of colorectal carcinoma according to the age group.

Método

The present study has been based on a quantitative descriptive theoretical basis, which has aggregated data from the 26 Brazilian states and the Federal District analyzed in a retrograde time series, referring to the years 2008 to 2018. Data on the mortality rate were collected in data banks from the Mortality Information System (SIM), the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Study (IBGE) and the National Cancer Institute (INCA)

Resultados

In general, the mortality rate in females was lower than in males in the vast majority of the states. When comparing the male and female mortality rates in the Midwest and Southeast regions, we can see the parity between the rates of the two genders. Despite the female mortality rate being at a level below the male average, the South region still had high levels of deaths from CCR. The peak of mortality due to CCR in the Southern region was in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, exceeding 300 deaths in the year 2017. The highest mortality was observed in elderly people. There was a predominance of mortality in males, mainly from the 7th to the 8th decade of life.

Conclusão

The analysis of the mortality rate over these 10 years of study has shown a high lethality in Brazil, thus being a suggestive element the increase of screening culture, especially in remote regions. A slight increase in the mortality rate among adults aged 40 to 49 years was observed, which is a fact that indicates the need of a change for the beginning of the screening from the age of 45 years old.
