The necessary data were obtained from the individual medical records of the cases. that met the inclusion criteria. Absolute frequencies and percentages were applied for the statistical analyses of the selected variables.
Results: The diagnosis at ages between 60 and 69 years was more frequent, accounting for 44.8% of the cases. 73.7% were men and 52.3% were of black race.
