Prevalência dos casos de câncer em pacientes do município de Ampére - PR, cadastrados no centro de oncologia (CEONC) de Cascavel no período de 2013 a 2016

Abstract

Cancer is a disease described since antiquity, characterized by uncontrolled cellular formation and malignant character with rapid spread. Studies on specific types of cancer associate their occurrence with factors such as: genetic predisposition, gender, age group and environmental influences (food and lifestyle). In Brazil there is a shortage of records and epidemiological data on the incidence of cancer by municipalities, especially those with a lower number of inhabitants and that are attended by the oncology centers, normally installed in larger municipalities, so the surveys aim to contribute to establish a scenario more punctual. In this sense, the objective of this project was to make a descriptive analytical study of the prevalence of cancer cases in the population of the city of Ampére-PR, considering data obtained from the DATASUS platform, according to registries registered by Ceonc - city of Cascavel, state of Paraná, from 2013 to 2016. For the evaluation and estimation of the epidemiological profile of the patients, the following factors were considered: specific type of cancer, its occurrence based on age, sex and residence in the area rural or urban. With the obtained data it was possible to estimate the total number of people affected by cancer and who were being treated at the Ceonc oncology center and related to the factors mentioned above. The most incident neoplasms were lung and bronchi, breast, cervix, colon, stomach and esophagus. The variables gender and place of residence did not show significant influences, since the age group indicated a higher case register in patients aged 61 to 80 years. As for the period, an increase of cases was identified in the year 2014, since it triggers future investigations.
