Abstract

Objective: to identify associations between clinical and sociodemographic variables among women with breast cancer. Methods: ecological, retrospective study conducted in accordance with the Standards for Quality Improvement Reporting Excellence. Records from women with breast cancer (ICD-10 code C50) diagnosed between 2015 and 2021 were included. Descriptive analysis, chi-square tests (α = 5%), and simple correspondence analysis were performed to examine associations among age, educational attainment, marital status, race/skin color, state, and clinical stage, using Hospital-Based Cancer Registry data. Results: advanced-stage disease was associated with not completing elementary school, age 30–59 years, and being classified as Brown or Black (p < 0.005), whereas higher educational attainment and treatment in states located in the South and Southeast Regions were associated with early-stage disease. Conclusion: breast cancer in Brazilian women was more often diagnosed at an advanced stage among Brown and Black women, those with lower educational attainment, and those treated in the North and Northeast Regions. Contributions to practice: early diagnosis is especially needed for women with lower educational attainment, those aged 30 or older, and those in the North and Northeast Regions.
