The research aims to describe the temporal-spatial dynamics of deaths from esophageal cancer in the southern region of Brazil, from sex and age group, during the years 2007 to 2017, according to municipalities of residence. The research is a descriptive study, with a quantitative methodological approach. The annual temporal distribution of cases is continuous and the spatial distribution of mortality rates is concentrated in the mesoregions of the Northwest Rio-Grandense, Metropolitan Region of Porto Alegre and Centro Oriental Rio-Grandense for both sexes. Due to the higher male mortality, following the world and Brazilian trend, the mesoregions of the Northeast Rio-Grandense, Southwest Paranaense, North Central Paranaense and Western Catarinense present concentrations for this sex. Female deaths are concentrated in the 75-79 year age group and in the male deaths in the 60-64 year age group in Rio Grande do Sul. In Paraná and Santa Catarina, the peak of women's deaths is in the 65-69 age group and the of men is at 60-64 years old. This research updates the epidemiological profile of the region, which, when mentioned, did not go beyond the regional analysis, so it also deepens it.
