Abstract

Objective: To analyze the spatial distribution and temporal trend of mortality due to penile
cancer in Sergipe.
Method: An ecological study with spatial analysis techniques. Secondary data on penile cancer
deaths from residents of Sergipe municipalities from 2000 to 2015 were used, obtained from
the Mortality Information System. The analysis of the temporal trends was performed in the
Joinpoint program through Poisson regression. Spatial analyses were performed using the
empirical Bayesian model, kernel estimator and Moran indexes.
Results: 67 deaths due to penile cancer occurred and a rising trend in mortality rates from
0.11 (2000) to 0.64 (2015) per 100,000 men was recorded. A positive spatial autocorrelation
(I=0.64; p=0.01) was observed with areas of higher risk of death in the southern region of the
state.
Conclusion: There was an increase in the coefficients of mortality due to penile cancer and
heterogeneous geographical distribution of the risk areas.
