Abstract

Introduction: In Mexico, ovarian cancer accounting for 5.3% of cancer diagnoses in all age groups and 21% of gynecological cancers and it has had a steady increase in the last three decades. Objective: To determine mortality trends from ovarian cancer and potential years of life lost (PYLL) by state and socioeconomic region of Mexico between 2000 and 2014. Method: Records of ovarian cancer were obtained from the National Institute of Statistics and Geography. ICD-10 codes corresponding to ovarian cancer as the basic cause of death were identified. Mortality rates and YPLL rates were calculated by nationwide, states and socioeconomic region. Results: Between 2000 and 2014, age-adjusted rates per 100,000 women increased from 3.3 to 4.1. The highest mortality rates were identified in region 7, in Chihuahua, Baja California Sur, Colima, Quintana Roo, Zacatecas, Sonora, Coahuila, Aguascalientes and Queretaro. The highest rates of PYLL due to ovarian cancer were recorded in regions 7, 5 and 6, Nayarit, Baja California Sur, Zacatecas, Colima, Tlaxcala, Oaxaca, Quintana Roo, Coahuila, Aguascalientes and Queretaro. Conclusions: Mexico’s socioeconomic region 7 had the highest rates of PYLL and mortality from ovarian cancer.
