КЛИНИКО-ЭПИДЕМИОЛОГИЧЕСКИЕ АСПЕКТЫ ОПУХОЛЕЙ ЯИЧНИКОВ В ГРОДНЕНСКОЙ ОБЛАСТИ

Abstract

Background. When providing specialized medical care and planning preventive measures, analysis of epidemiological data is instrumental in determining what should be done to reduce morbidity and mortality from ovarian malignant neoplasms (OMNs) within the given scenario. Purpose of research. To study the epidemiological situation with OMNs in the Grodno region. Material and methods. The OMN incidence and indicators of the quality of oncological care in the Grodno region were analyzed according to the data obtained from the Belarusian cancer registry. Results. Since 2007, the OMN morbidity and mortality rates have been relatively stable. In most cases, the diagnosis of malignant ovarian pathology has been based on the results of a pathomorphological investigation. The histological variant of the neoplasm significantly affects the prognosis for life. The most common neoplasms are serous ovarian carcinomas (69%). Neoplasms of non-epithelial origin occur in 8% of all cases. About 16% of women have multiple primary neoplasms with ovarian involvement. In most cases of metachronous development of polyneoplasia the ovarian neoplasm occurs last. The analysis of the age-specific morbidity showed that OMN was most often (52%) diagnosed at the age of 46-65 years. During the study period, about 70% of neoplasms were diagnosed at a later stage, 10% of patients were incurable and received only symptomatic therapy. The indicators of the quality of oncological care demonstrate an increase in the number of cases diagnosed at an early stage. In 2019, in the Grodno region, OMNs of stage I-II were diagnosed in 42% of patients. Conclusion. To improve oncological care for the population and reduce morbidity and mortality from OMNs, it is necessary to develop and implement a set of measures aimed primarily at early diagnosis of the disease and prevention of neoplasm development in the case of primary multiple forms.
