Perfil epidemiológico dos óbitos por câncer de pele no Município de Goiânia

Abstract

Skin cancer is still a global health problem. One of the reasons for the development of cancer is the alteration in the synthesis of these cells, causing an uncontrolled cell production. With the passing of the years were emerging new techniques that was possible to close the safe diagnosis of skin cancer. In Brazil cases of skin cancer still persist, this is due to the fact that the country has predominantly hot climate most of the year, that is, susceptible to higher incidences compared to countries with more temperate or cold climates, since one of the primary factors for skin cancer is exposure to sunlight. Although the country is more susceptible to more cases per year due to this climate factor, the same country is also characterized by mixed peoples and that has more resistance to ultraviolet radiation. However, not all regions of Brazil has the same race/color characteristic, the southern region being the most affected by the severe in comparison to the northern and northeastern region. The next 10 years from 2012 to 2021 tell a bit of the epidemiological evolution of skin cancer in Brazil and also between the states and municipalities.
