To identify factors associated with early mortality by cancer in adolescents and young adults is proposed. Chances of death were 31% higher for males than for females. In the model adjusted for neoplasia type and age, individuals with non-hematologic neoplasia presented higher risk of dying. The chance of death by cancer in patients under age 25 was 33% greater when compared to older patients between 25–29 years old. Early mortality was associated with years in school and time between diagnosis and beginning of treatment.
