Abstract

Breast cancer is the most common in the world and Brazilian women. In Brazil, the estimate is approximately 57.12 million new cases in 2014. Objectives: to analyze the mortality and the flow of deaths from breast cancer in health micro-regions in the state of Minas Gerais, from 2008 to 2012, considering the provision of services specialized in cancer care. Methods: This was an ecological study using mortality data (SIM), demographics (IBGE) and health facilities (CNES). Deaths were corrected by ill-defined causes and later made the calculation of mortality rates from breast cancer standardized by the standard world population for the state of Minas Gerais and its 77 micro-regions. Deaths were analyzed in the municipality of residence and the occurrence of the municipality being built maps flows that allow viewing distances. We used the TABWIN software, Terraview, geoda and Microsoft Excel. Results: We identified 5885 deaths from female breast cancer in Minas Gerais resulting in standardized mortality rate of 10.3 per 100,000 women. The regions with the highest rates were Alem Paraíba (17.0 / 100,000), Belo Horizonte / Nova Lima / Caeté (13.6 / 100,000) and Juiz de Fora / Lima Duarte / Bom Jardim (13.4 / 100,000). The lowest rates were found in Brasília de Minas (2.9 / 100,000), Pedra Azul (3.3 / 100,000) and Padre Paraíso (3.3 / 100,000). The analysis of the flow of deaths shows that the municipalities that received the most number of outpatients were: Belo Horizonte, Ipatinga, Muriaé, Juiz de Fora and Montes Claros, and 20% of patients traveled higher distances of 150 km for assistance.
