Abstract:
To analyze mortality from head and neck cancer (HNC) in the State of Santa Catarina from 1979 to 2023. Ecological study of data available in the Mortality Atlas of the National Cancer Institute and in the Mortality Information System. Approximately 13,309 deaths due to HNC were recorded in the Mortality Atlas, considering the period from 1979 to 2021 and 11,027 deaths recorded in SIM in the period from 1996 to 2023. The profile of these patients consisted predominantly of subjects aged 60-69 years old, male, white, married and with 1-3 years of education. Regarding types of cancer, most deaths occurred from laryngeal cancer, followed by oropharyngeal cancer. There is a need to improve health services, with an emphasis on diagnosis of the highest risk profiles, prevention and health promotion with publicity campaigns.
