Abstract

Objective: to measure the burden of cancer using the indicator Disability Adjusted Life Years (DALYs). Methodology: the use of the DALYs indicator made it possible to identify the burden of cancer in the department of Nariño, 2010. Results: the DALYsdue to cancer emphasize the emergency of stomach, cervix, breast, prostate, trachea/bronchus/lung, colon and rectum and benign tumors, as well as leukemias and lymphomas. Similarly, the indicator shows an important amount of years of life lost due to premature death along with a predominance of this issue among women. Conclusions: this is the first study of burden of cancer targeting a department in Colombia using a standardized methodology contributing to the Health Plan of the department of Nariño in Colombia during 2013-2015 and to the indicators system of the Cancer Control Ten-Year Plan. Cancer is ranked second only to cardiovascular diseases as the most important causes of DALYs within the non communicable diseases group.
