The aging of the brazilian Semi-arid population in the last decades has caused important changes in the morbidity and mortality pattern, with the increase of neoplasias in the population, leading to significant social and economic losses. The objective of this work consisted in measuring the burden of diseases by neoplasia for the geographical spaces of the brazilian Semi-arid region, ates through the DALY method. This method allows the assessment of the impact or aggravation on the health state of the population, of a specific disease burden, which measure lost life years adjusted by disability (YLD) and by premature death (YLL). Studies with this focus are absent for the Brazilian Semi-arid. The results show that there were 89,782 years of life lost due to premature death and 5,419 years lost due to disability. Among the states there was a variation from 5,714 to 85,250 YLL and from 82 to 1,462 YLD, totaling 95,201 potential years of life lost (DALY) in the Semiarid as a whole. It was verified that the life losses due to neoplasias increased with the age. It was concluded that the losses were very high and that they indicated access difficulties and the lack of seeking health services by the affected population, Which contributes to the identification of health vulnerabilities poists to neoplasms.
