RESUMO
This research is a descriptive temporalseries study about mortality due to breast cancer among women aged 50 years old and more in the State of São Paulo, according to the distribution in the metropolitan area and the countryside. From informations obtained at the Banco de Dados do Sistema de Informação sobre Mortalidade (SIM) DATASUS/CENEPI, and from other subsidiary sources, its evolution was studied, in a triennial fashion, in the period between 1979 and 1997. In the State of São Paulo, the data show that mortality due to breast cancer in the female population, in the age group studied, presented a trend toward a sharper increase in the metropolitan area (56,57%). Higher coeficients were observed in the 75-years-old or more age group, whose mortality coeficient, in the last triennial, revealed an increase (47,65%), most of all in the metropolitan area, in spite of the expansion of screening programs and the efficient interventions on the pre-malignant diseases and lesions. The specific mortality rates for age groups, calculated for the four triennials, demonstrate that the risk of death due to breast cancer didn t raise in a continual fashion with the age, oscillating among the age groups, in women over 50 years old. The brazilian and the international data are compared, and conclusions are drawn, like that which includes Brazil in the same level as developed countries, as for the high mortality rates due to this neoplasm, but not as for the execution of the necessary measures destinated to prevention, early diagnosis and control of this disease. Beyond the comments about the statistical data, a bibliographic review is carried on about this disease risk factors. Suggestions are presented, in particular the mportance of public health politics towards the female group in the age group over 50 years old, given the specific needs they present, which include preventive and breast cancer early diagnosis measures.
