Abstract
Objective: To analyze the overall and cancer-specific five-year survival rates for female breast cancer in Greater Cuiabá, Mato Grosso, Brazil.
Methods: A non-concurrent, population-based cohort study using the Population-Based Cancer Registry of Greater Cuiabá (Cuiabá and Varzea Grande), including women diagnosed with breast cancer from 2008 to 2013, followed through 2018 in the regional mortality database. The sample consisted of a total of 1,220 women. Five-year survival analysis was performed using Kaplan-Meier curves and the Cox proportional hazards regression model, computing hazard ratios for variable estimation. Survival curves were compared using the log-rank test (p<0.05). Probabilistic linkage technique by the RecLink III software and survival analysis were conducted using STATA software version 12.0.
Results: There was no statistical difference between the overall (OS) and cancer-specific survival (SS) rates (OS 78.0%, 95%CI 75.6-80.2; SS 81.0%, 95%CI 78.7-83.2). Women with lower educational levels (OS=58.33%; SS=64.89%) and those without a partner (OS 64.81%; SS 70.41%) exhibited poorer survival.
Conclusion: This study demonstrates that educational level and marital status significantly impact both overall and cancer-specific survival rates for female breast cancer. There is a need to propose policies that address the profile of women with lower survival rates.
