Resumen
SANTOS, Wesley dos et al. Pancreatic cáncer incidence and mortality trends: a population-based study. Rev. salud pública [online]. 2022, vol.24, n.1, pp.1-. Epub 30-Mayo-2022. ISSN 0124-0064. https://doi.org/10.15446/rsap.v24n1.89397.
Objectives
To analyze trends in pancreatic cancer incidence and mortality in Latin American countries.
Methods
An ecological study with incidence data from the International Agency for Research on Cancer and mortality data from the World Health Organization. The trend of incidence by Joinpoint regression, the variation of the annual average and the 95% confidence interval were analyzed.
Results
There were increasing trends in incidence in Brazil, in males, aged 40-59 years, and reduction in Costa Rica. In females, there was stability in all age groups. The mortality rates increased in the elderly in Brazil (AAPC: 1.09%; 95% CI: 0.76; 1.42), Peru (AAPC: 1.76%; 95% CI: 0.36; 3.17) and El Salvador (AAPC: 2.88%; 95% CI: 0.38; 5.43), while in Mexico, there was a reduction. In females, this rate increased in Brazil (AAPC: 1.38%; 95% CI: 1.07; 1.69), Peru (AAPC: 2.25%; 95% CI: 0.68; 3.85), Chile (AAPC: 3.62%; 95% CI: 1.96; 5.31), Nicaragua (AAPC: 2.51%; 95% CI: 0.36; 4.71) and Paraguay (AAPC: 1.17%; 95% CI: 0.37; 1.98) and a downward trend was observed in Colombia and Ecuador.
Conclusions
Pancreatic cancer had a higher incidence in the elderly population of both sexes and an increase of the mortality trend in females was noted.
