Solid neoplasms have a heterogeneous incidence worldwide and in Brazil. Thus, the region delimited by the Legal Amazon has a distinct epidemiological profile. In Pará, Ophir Loyola Cancer Hospital(OLCH) accounts for 71.11% of hospital visits in the state.
This was an ecological, exploratory, and mixed descriptive studythat investigated the epidemiological profile of patients with cancer treated at OLCH from January to December 2020. Sociodemographic data at admission were the primary variables, which were analyzed according to spatial distribution.
In this study, the data of 2952 patients were analyzed, with the majority being between the ages of 50 and 79 years (62.47%), female (59.49%), and diagnosed but without previous treatment (87.30%). The most common cancers were breast (16.50%), cervical (13.40%), stomach (8.98%), and prostate (7.72%). Of the 12 integration regions, Guajará had the highest number of referrals (49.86%), followed by Guamá (12.94%) and Caeté River (8.98%).
The profile of care at OLCH showed a high incidence of solid malignancies compared to that in other regions of Brazil, indicating environmental and sociocultural influences on the carcinogenic profile present in the eastern Amazon.
实体肿瘤在全球和巴西各地的发病率存在差异。因此，亚马孙法定地区的流行病学特征也不同。在帕拉州，Ophir Loyola 癌症医院（OLCH）承担了该州 71.11%的住院就诊量。
这是一项生态、探索性、混合描述性研究，调查了 2020 年 1 月至 12 月在 OLCH 接受治疗的癌症患者的流行病学特征。入院时的社会人口学数据是主要变量，根据空间分布进行了分析。
本研究共分析了 2952 名患者的数据，其中大多数患者年龄在 50 至 79 岁之间（62.47%）、女性（59.49%）、确诊但未经前期治疗（87.30%）。最常见的癌症是乳腺癌（16.50%）、宫颈癌（13.40%）、胃癌（8.98%）和前列腺癌（7.72%）。在 12 个整合区中，瓜雅拉地区转诊人数最多（49.86%），其次是瓜马（12.94%）和卡埃特河（8.98%）。
OLCH 的护理特征显示，与巴西其他地区相比，实体恶性肿瘤的发病率较高，这表明环境和社会文化因素对亚马逊东部地区存在的致癌特征有影响。
