Abstract

Introduction: Breast cancer, given its high prevalence, particularly in societies whose epidemiological transition is completed, has been object of a number of population-based studies towards a better understanding of the natural history of the disease, the process of falling sick and mortality. It is speculated that mortality has different patterns according to age. Objective: to evaluate the trend of mortality due to breast cancer in different age groups in Brazil between 1980 and 2011. Method: A descriptive, retrospective study based on secondary data collected from the Department of Information Technology of Sistema Único de Saúde (Unified Healthcare System). The age groups were divided into two groups: up to 50 and older than 50 years old. For trend analysis, we used polynomial regression and joinpoint. Results: The results show an increasing trend in mortality due to breast cancer for women up to 50 years of age, and a decreasing trend for women over 50 years old. Conclusion: It’s necessary a more detailed discussion about the relation between cost and effectiveness, as well as the validity of implementing mammography as an option for younger women in Brazil.
