METHODS: This is a descriptive ecological study, which included women aged 25 to 64 years living in Rio Grande do Sul, from 2013 to 2021. The research was carried out from August 2021 to July 2022 from the Information Systems on Cancer, Mortality and Panel-Oncology Brazil, evaluating diagnosis by year, age group, reason for the examination, deaths by years, color/race, education, marital status, staging and treatment methods, made available by the DATASUS. RESULTS: 261 cases of squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix were studied, of which 30% were in the 2020- 2021 biennium. It was observed that the age group most affected was 35-44 years (35.6%). According to the staging at the time of diagnosis, the majority (26.6%) did not apply, as they were treated by surgery. In more advanced stages, the main method of treatment is chemotherapy. The treatment time of most patients was longer than 60 days (44.4%). Regarding the mortality rate, it was 0.12% and the most affected group was from 45 to 54 years old (31.5%). Most victims were women who declared themselves white (82%) and single (41%).
