Abstract
The objective is to epidemiologically analyze the number of hospitalizations and absolute deaths due to breast neoplasms in Brazil in women from 2010 to 2020. Descriptive and retrospective study on the number of hospitalizations and absolute deaths due to breast neoplasms in Brazil in women in the years 2010 to 2020. The data were obtained by the Information Technology Department of the Brazilian Unified Health System (DATASUS). The variables analyzed were absolute deaths, hospitalizations, race, age group and region. From 2010-2020, 170,010 absolute deaths and 633,204 hospitalizations due to malignant breast neoplasia were recorded in Brazil. The Southeast region had the highest number of hospitalizations, representing 51.32%. As for absolute deaths, the region that listed the most was the Southeast, corresponding to 50.72%. As for race, white was the one with the most absolute deaths and hospitalizations, representing 59.23% and 45.46% of cases, respectively. In relation to the age group, the one with the highest number of hospitalizations was those aged 50 to 59, with 27.87%. In the period analyzed, 170,010 absolute deaths and 633,204 hospitalizations due to malignant breast neoplasia were recorded in women in Brazil. The Southeast region represented more than half of both variables. The white and brown race accounted for the vast majority of absolute deaths and hospitalizations, with the majority being white. As for the age group, the one with the highest number of hospitalizations was those between 50 and 59 years old, however, the one with the highest number of absolute deaths was those over 70 years old. The age group of those under 40 years old recorded the fewest absolute deaths and hospitalizations.
