Introduction: The breast cancer is that with higher incidence among women, and reduces survival among those with cancer. Objective: Evaluate the survival and its prognostic factors in women with breast cancer, treated by public sector, in Joinville, Santa Catarina, Brazil.

In the analysis of survival it has been applied the Kaplan-Meier‘s statistical method and the Cox’s method. Results: 170 women have been evaluated. The survival in ten years was 83.1% (95% CI 74.1 to 89.3%), and 21 (12.4%) deaths were identified at the time period. The probability of being alive was smaller for those in advanced stages of cancer; the risk of death was higher among those who had another kinds of cancer associated, and among those unsatisfied with life. The death’s ratio was 17.1 times bigger among women diagnosed in advanced stages. Conclusions: The variable staging presented higher association with the survival in evaluated women.
