• Abstract Background Cancer is the second leading cause of death in Brazil, being the most common breast, lung, colorectal, cervix and pancreas among women and lung, prostate, colorectal, stomach and esophagus among men. The mortality trends for all causes of cancer in Brazil have been increased, with variations between sexes and regions. The objective was to analyze standardized mortality trend rates for all causes of cancer in Mato Grosso State, Brazil, from 2000 to 2015. Methods This is a descriptive, ecological, time-series study using data from the Mortality Information System, made available by the Department of Health of the Mato Grosso State. Deaths from cancer of all ages were selected, whose basic cause was identified by the letter “C” from the 10th revision of International Classification of Diseases. The direct method of standardization was performed with the 1960 world population and expected deaths were estimated. To estimate the trend, the annual percentage variation (APV) was calculated using the ratio regression coefficient/2000 mortality rate, for the state and its five macroregions. Results From 2000 to 2015, 28.525 deaths from cancer occurred in the state residents. There was an increasing trend in the mortality rates for all causes of cancer, with APV of 0.81% (p = 0.001). Considering the macroregions, the south (APV = 1.12%; p = 0.01), north (APV = 1.51%; p = 0.01) and east (APV = 1.82%; p = 0.01) had an increasing trend and the west (APV = 0.51%; p = 0.44) and the center-north (APV = 0.46%; p = 0.12) had a stable trend. Conclusions Mato Grosso follows the Brazilian cancer mortality increased trend. Variation in mortality rates found among different macroregions of the state and no decreased rates reveal regional disparities and the importance of cancer control and prevention in the state. Key messages Mortality rate for all causes of cancer increased in Mato Grosso State, Brazil, from 2000 to 2015. Variation in mortality trends by macroregions of the Mato Grosso State reveals regional disparities and the importance of cancer control and prevention in the state.
