METHODS: Exploratory time series study of deaths from breast neoplasia. All women residing in Brazil, between 15 and 49 years of age, who died from ICD-10 C50, has participated. Data collection was carried out from DATASUS, for trend analysis the polynomial regression model was used. RESULTS: In the period there were 62,519 deaths from breast cancer in women outside the screening range, among them, married women and those with advanced education showed a higher death rate as well as in the South and Southeast regions. The trend was increasing in all regions of the country.
