From the set of indicators, those with the best results presented are related to the greater detection of cancer in early stages or in situ, as well as a decrease in mortality, especially in colorectal and in gastric cancer. Most indicators in gastric cancer showed optimal results. Important measurements such as the opportunity for diagnosis and treatment are below the proposed standard for most types in all the six cities.Conclusions: The descriptive analysis of cancer risk management indicators shows certain weaknesses in the quality and timeliness of the care of cancer patients, the standards agreed upon in the consensus with the different actors of the system are not being reached, situation which may be due to a reality of problems of the Colombian health system, as well as deficiencies in the quality of the report to the CAC. 2018 artículo científico 0120-8322 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=28355922016 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/283/28355922016/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/283/28355922016/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/283/28355922016/28355922016.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/283/28355922016/movil 10.25100/cm.v49i1.3882 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=283 Colombia Médica application/pdf Universidad del Valle Colombia Médica (Colombia) Num.1 Vol.49
