| Sumario: | Objective: To analyze the colorectal cancer mortality rate in Brazil. Methods: Descriptive and retrospective spatial time series study conducted from January 2005 to June 2015 using data from the Mortality Information System. The annual trend of deaths by region was assessed using the Mann-Kendall test and linear regressions to evaluate the direction of the growth. The significance level was set at 5% and the software R Core Team 2015 was used. Results: The mortality rate in Brazil was 7.98 deaths/100,000 inhabitants for the year 2014. Higher rates were observed in the South and Southeast regions. Regarding the number of deaths by sex, the female gender prevailed in all Brazilian regions, especially in the Southeast region. Conclusion: The study of colorectal cancer is epidemiologically important as it demonstrates a steady increase in mortality rates. |
