Abstract

El cáncer representa un problema a nivel mundial, en el año 2022 en el Ecuador existieron 30888 nuevos casos de cáncer y 16158 muertes, considerando una elevada morbimortalidad a causa de este padecimiento, los sistemas de salud realizan un esfuerzo por solventar la demanda de estos pacientes en los servicios de salud públicos y privados. El objetivo de esta investigación fue establecer la prevalencia de cáncer y el tiempo de atención de referencias de pacientes oncológicos referidos desde el primer nivel de atención al segundo nivel de atención de enero a julio de 2024 en el Hospital Provincial General Docente de Riobamba. Se presentó un estudio original, observacional, transversal retrospectivo, descriptivo y correlacional. La prevalencia de neoplasias es de 3,11 % y el 45,09 % son malignas. La prevalencia de cáncer en el total de hospitalizaciones es 1,4% y el promedio de tiempo de espera para la atención es de 35 días. Existió una elevada prevalencia de cáncer en el hospital, siendo medicina interna y cirugía los servicios con más hospitalizaciones por esta patología.
