Abstract:

The objective was to describe the secular trend of cervical cancer mortality in Brazil and regions1980 to 2021. This is a population and ecological study, based on data available at the Department of Informatics of the Unified Health System, using codes 180 and C53. Crude rates, age-specific rates, and age-standardized rates were calculated for the Brazilian and world population. The Average Annual Percent Change (AAPC) was obtained by trend analysis using the Joinpoint Regression Program, with a significance level of 0.05 and 95% confidence intervals (95%CI). There were 171,793 deathscervical cancer. In Brazil (AAPC -0.3; CI95%-1.0; 0.4), North (AAPC 0.6; 95%CI -0.1; 1.3) and South (AAPC 0.0; 95%CI -0.5; 0.5) the trends were stationary in the Northeast (AAPC 0.6; 95%CI 0.3; 0.8) and in the Midwest (AAPC -1.3; 95%CI -1.5; -1.1) and Southeast (AAPC -0.9; 95%CI -1.4; -0.5) decreasing. Regional differences show that public policies need to be improved with regard to women\'s access to a health system that offers adequate prevention, screening and treatment through management strategies that reach the most vulnerable population, seeking to have an impact on the reduction of cervical cancer mortality.
