Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Malignant neoplasms of the stomach are one of the main causes of death globally, with Brazil registering around 625 thousand new cases annually between 2020 and 2022. The main risk factors include Helicobacter pylori infection, overweight, smoking, consumption of alcohol and family history of cancer. These neoplasms are usually asymptomatic at first and present symptoms such as weight loss, gastric fullness and difficulty swallowing in advanced stages. OBJECTIVE: This study aims to analyze deaths due to malignant neoplasia of the stomach in adults aged 20 to 49 years in Brazil between 2020 and 2023. METHODOLOGY: The research was retrospective and descriptive, using data from DATASUS during the month of April 2024. It was created a database in Excel and analyzed indicators such as sex, region, age group, annual incidence and race. RESULTS: During 2020 to 2023, Brazil recorded 2,521 deaths from malignant neoplasia of the stomach in adults aged 20 to 49 years, with a higher incidence in men (53.15%). The most affected age group was 40 to 49 years old (65.60%), with a predominance of deaths among brown individuals (49.22%). CONCLUSION: These data highlight the need for preventive strategies and more equitable health policies to reduce inequalities in access to medical care and improve the well-being of the Brazilian population.
