This paper presents the current pattern of cancer incidence in Brazil by analyzing the country’s cancer epidemiological profile. The authors highlight the observed overlapping distribution of cancer incidence in Brazil in tumor sites normally associated with higher socioeconomic status (cancers of the breast, prostate, and colon/rectum, among others) and poverty (cervix, stomach, oral cavity, and penis).
