Abstract

Backgroud: Few studies have been found that report cancer survival in children and adolescents in Brazil over the years due to limited information. We aim to analyse the cancer survival time of children and adolescents (0-19 years) residents in Campinas, Southeastern Brazil diagnosed in 1996-2005, attended in the reference service of childhood cancer. Methodology: This is a cohort retrospect study and the follow-up censored date was December 31, 2011. Cancers were classified according to the International Classification of Childhood Cancer Groups. By design, just the 4 most common groups were studied: Group I, Group II, Group III and Group IX. Kaplan-Meier estimation methods, log-rank test and Cox regression were used for survival analysis. Results: A total of 180 cases were diagnosed during the study period. Significant differences in survival times were found by diagnostic groups adjusted for age and sex (p=0.001). In conclusion, five-year survival was higher in children than in adolescents similar to the findings reported in the literature.
