Resumo: The accuracy of the cancer mortality figures was determined by comparing the underlying causes of death as coded on death certificates with pathology reports and hospital diagnoses of a sample of 966 deaths of the total deaths occurring in Salvador during 1983. The death certificates were found to be accurate in 65% of 485 cancer deaths studied. Thirty-five histologically confirmed cancer deaths were found in a random sample of 481 deaths from other causes (460 stating other causes and 21 stating cancer sites that were not under study). This means that, approximately 700 more cancer deaths may be hidden among the remaining 10,098 death certificates.

Foi determinada a precisão das informações contidas nas estatísticas de mortalidade por câncer, comparando-se a causa básica de morte da declaração de óbito (DO) com dados de laudo de anatomia patológica e de diagnóstico hospitalar de uma amostra de 966 declarações de óbito do total de mortes registradas na cidade de Salvador, no ano de 1983. Os laudos de anatomia patológica e dados de prontuários médicos hospitalares confirmam as informações das 485 declarações de óbito que se referiam aos neoplasmas selecionados,em apenas 65% das vezes. Além de observarmos este baixo percentual de confirmados para os neoplasmas selecionados, encontramos 35 declarações de óbito de indivíduos que tiveram câncer, com comprovação histológica, numa amostra aleatória de 481 declarações de óbito que se referiam a outras causas de morte. Projetando esses achados para as 10.098 mortes restantes teríamos aproximadamente 700 declarações de óbito cuja causa básica deveria ser câncer e não a registrada na declaração de óbito.
