ABSTRACT

Se presentan resultados de una investigación orientada al desarrollo de un sistema para seguimiento, evaluación de efectividad de programas de prevención y control del cáncer en Venezuela. Se elaboraron y verificaron empíricamente modelos de políticas públicas para cada uno de estos tipos de cánceres: cuello uterino, mama, pulmón, estómago, próstata. Los análisis de correlación realizados indicaron que el cáncer de estómago está relacionado positivamente con variaciones en el analfabetismo y el PIB per cápita. En el cáncer de próstata la correlación es negativa. El análisis de series de tiempo utilizando las estandarizadas indica que la mortalidad por cáncer de pulmón, próstata y mama aumenta con el tiempo. El cáncer de estómago la tasa de mortalidad disminuye a medida que pasa el tiempo. En cáncer de cuello uterino no hubo relación con variable temporal. La experiencia alcanzada permitirá refinar modelos con información más específica y extender el análisis a los estados.


The paper presents the results of a research project focused on the development of a monitoring and evaluation system for programs of control and prevention of cancer in Venezuela. Policy models were designed and empirically validated for the following types of cancer: uterine cervix, the breast, lung, the stomach and prostate. Analysis of correlation indicated that stomach cancer was positively correlated to variations in illiteracy and GNP per capita. In the case of cancer of prostate the correlation was negative. Analysis of time series using standardized mortality rates indicate that mortality rates for lung cancer, the breast cancer and prostate cancer increased historically. In the case of stomach cancer the mortality rate decreased historically. In the case of the uterine cervix cancer there was no significant relation. The experience acquired in these analyses would be useful to refine policy models using complementary data and including states as units of analysis.
