Abstract
This article aims to analyze the epidemiology of hospitalizations for malignant breast neoplasia in Brazil from 2018 to 2022. This is a descriptive, cross-sectional and epidemiological research. Data on hospitalizations for malignant breast neoplasia were obtained through the Hospital Information System of the Information Technology Department of the Unified Health System (SIH/DATASUS), considering the period from 2018 to 2022. Thus, the following variables were analyzed: year hospitalization, type of care, deaths, sex, age group, ethnicity, and region of the country. During the period analyzed, 354,911 hospitalizations for malignant breast neoplasia were recorded in Brazil. Thus, it was noted that women over 50 years of age and of the white race constitute the profile most affected by breast cancer, in accordance with the age at which mammography screening begins according to the Ministry of Health.
