Abstract:

Objective: Analyze the temporal trends of cervical cancer mortality in Brazil and calculate the projection of mortality until the year 2030. Methodology: Deaths occurred within the period 1996-2010 were analyzed (Mortality Information System). Mortality trend analysis utilized the Joinpoint regression, while Nordpred was utilized for the calculation of projections. Results: For Brazil, decreasing trends were identified (APC=1.7% CI95%-2.2; -1.1 p<0.05). The Midwest region presented significant reducing trends (APC= -1.3% per year), along with the Southeast (APC=-3.3%) and South (APC=-3.9%) regions. The North and Northeast regions presented stable trends. The states of Acre (APC = -6.5%) and Rio Grande do Sul (APC = -4.1%) presented the most pronounced reducing trends. Analysis of the mortality projections revealed a reduction in mortality rates in Brazil, starting from the first projected period, with a considerable reduction for the South region. Mortality rates until the year 2030 will be explained, mostly, by reductions in disease risk. Conclusions: Cervical cancer mortality presents reducing trends, however these are unequally distributed throughout the country, where the North and Northeast regions present the highest mortality rates.
