Analysis of oncological morbidity of the population of the Orel Region

Abstract

Malignant tumors among non-communicable diseases are of leading importance and occupy the second place after cardiovascular pathology. The article presents the results of a study of the oncological morbidity of the population of the Orel region in 2010–2021. The analysis was carried out on the basis of statistical data on cases of oncological morbidity obtained from official statistical forms. The growth of morbidity rates over the studied period of time and their predominance in the Orel region in comparison with the Russian Federation and a number of other regions of the Central Federal District was revealed. Cancer of the stomach, lungs and mammary glands were the leaders among oncological pathology in the Orel region. The study showed a low detectability of malignant neoplasms during medical examinations and preventive medical examinations. Most of the patients with this pathology independently sought medical help. At the same time, there was a high proportion of newly identified cases with the presence of distant metastases. The data obtained allow us to formulate the main approaches for adjusting the work on early detection and treatment of oncological pathology in the region.
