- Abstract
Considered the second leading cause of death in Brazil and the world, cancer is seen as a public health problem. The importance of health surveillance for monitoring, planning and carrying out actions to raise awareness and control cancer is well known. However, there are still no studies presenting the epidemiological situation in specific regions of the country, such as the metropolitan region of Cariri in Ceará. The present study aimed to determine the clinical-epidemiological profile of cancer cases in the metropolitan region of Cariri Ceará in the last ten years. This is an ecological, descriptive study, with a quantitative approach, based on secondary data, carried out through the DATASUS platform, with collection between the months of November and December 2023 according to the last update of the system on November 15 of the same year. The variables were evaluated according to: municipality of residence, detailed diagnosis, sex, age group, therapeutic modality, staging, establishment of diagnosis and treatment, within a ten-year time frame (2013-2022).
