Abstract

Objective: to compare the incidence, prevalence, mortality, and case fatality rates of breast cancer in Brazilian women. Methods: this was a descriptive ecological study using data made available by the Information and Informatics Department of the Unified Health System on the occurrence of diagnosed cases and mortality from breast cancer. Rates were estimated for women aged 15 to 39 and 40 and over from 2013 to 2024, considering the regions of Brazil. Results: a high occurrence of breast cancer was observed, with a higher incidence and prevalence in women aged 40 and over and in the South. Most deaths were also in this age group, mainly in the South and Southeast. Overall, lethality was higher in the Midwest and Southeast. Conclusion: breast cancer incidence and prevalence rates were high, especially among women aged 40 and over and in the South. There was a progressive increase in cases in the 15-39 age group. Most deaths occurred in women aged 40 or over, and overall lethality was higher in the Central-West and Southeast. Contributions to practice: the results highlight the importance of early detection and expanding access to screening measures.
