Article Synopsis
- Bone cancers, specifically osteosarcoma and Ewing sarcoma, are common among Brazilian children, adolescents, and young adults aged 15-29 years, with this study focusing on their incidence and mortality trends.
- The study utilized data from multiple cancer registries and the Atlas of Cancer Mortality, revealing median incidence rates of 5.74 cases per million in children and 11.25 in young adults, with regional variations in mortality trends across Brazil.
- While some registries showed stable or decreasing incidence rates, especially among adolescents and young adults, the findings highlight the need for continued monitoring of cancer epidemiology trends in different regions of Brazil.
Purpose: High incidence rates for cervical cancer in adolescents and young adults (AYAs: 15-29 years) make this the most common carcinoma in Brazil. Our aim was to analyze the incidence trends for cervical cancer (CC) and in situ neoplasia (IsN) among this age group.
Methods: Incidence data were extracted from 21 Brazilian population-based cancer registries (PBCRs).
Purpose: Adolescents and young adults (AYA) with cancer comprise an intermediate age group between pediatric and adult oncology, and have a spectrum of different types of cancers. Survival among this group has not improved as much as in younger children with cancer. The aim of this study was evaluate the trends in cancer mortality of AYA aged 15-29 years in Brazil.
