OBJECTIVE: To analyze the variation in breast cancer incidence, with stratification into ten-year age groups, 17 years after the nuclear accident in Goiânia. METHODS: Between 1988 and 2003, 3312 new cases were recorded. The crude and standardized incidence rates were calculated. ANOVA was used to obtain the coefficient of determination (R2) for the incidence over the course of the years, and p-values were obtained both by linear and by polynomial regression. RESULTS: The increases in crude and standardized incidence were statistically significant in all age groups, except for women between 20 and 29 years old. For the age group from 30 to 49 years, the increase in incidence was around 100% (p = 0.001), and from 50 to 59 years, 277% (p
