    Cancer is a chronic- degenerative disease that shows a long and progressive development and it is the cause why people die so early. Current statistical data are very important to have proper, efficient and timely planning during the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. An observational, descriptive, cross-sectional study was done in order to describe the cancer mortality pattern in the province of Tungurahua during 2000 and 2014, according to socio-demographic characteristics to determine the developments that have been around in cancer mortality as well as the number potential years of life lost. The population included the number of death people who were registered between 2000 and 2014 in the General Register of Deaths at the National Institute of Statistics and Census in Ecuador, whose main cause of death was cancer. The most important gross cancer mortality rate was in Mocha in 2000 with 120.77 per 100.000 inhabitants while in Cevallos was 165.87 in 2014. During these two years, females have a greater contribution to mortality with 59.18 % and 54.96 %, and digestive organs were the most affected with 39.40 % and 40.00 %. A greater number of years of potential life lost (YPLL) were provided by the hematological malignancies in the stomach. The most representative YPLL rates in males were taken from a group aged between 55 and 59 years, with 17.85 and 20.79 per one thousands inhabitants over the years that were analyzed. A group of females aged 55 to 59 years in 2000, amounted to 44.49 YPLL and the group aged between 60 and 64 amounted to 40.86 for 2014. The standard rate for mortality showed an increase of the risk of dying from cancer from 1.2 between 2000 and 2014. It is recommended to develop research to deepen the rates that are related to mortality of cancer and implement the proposed strategy.
