Abstract:

The objective was to analyze five-year survival for patients with laryngeal cancer treated at the Brazil’s Unified Health System and regions between January 2002 and June 2010. In Brazil, information regarding magnitude and survival of laryngeal cancer, which makes it difficult adopt specific strategies for its control in the country In order to achieve this objective, a retrospective cohort study was conducted based on the National Oncology Database. The probability of survival for laryngeal cancer according to age, sex and Brazilian regions/states was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. The log-rank test was used to assess the differences observed, considering a significance level of 5%. Survival in Brazil was estimated at 50.8% (95%CI: 49.9%-51.8%), being lower in male patients (49.1%; 95%CI: 48.10%-50.16%); aged between 50 and 60 years (48.4%; 95%CI: 46.7%-50.0%); and for residents of the Norther region (45.5%; 95%CI: 39.5%-51.3%). The variation in survival for laryngeal cancer in Brazil shows disparities between Brazilian regions/states, may be linked to inequality of access to diagnosis and/or treatment.
