Epidemiology of colorectal cancer
 in the Republic of Kazakhstan

Abstract

Relevance: Today, colorectal cancer is one of the
 most important health issues in Kazakhstan and worldwide. Colorectal cancer leading positions in the general
 structure of oncological pathologies force clinicians to develop
 ways to improve its statistical indicators.
 The purpose of the study was to investigate the epidemiological aspects of colorectal cancer in the Republic
 of Kazakhstan in 2010-2019.
 Results: The article presents and analyzes the epidemiological indicators of colorectal cancer in the Republic of Kazakhstan over the past decade. The incidence
 trends were studied considering the territorial characteristics, early detection, and neglect indicators for this type
 of malignant neoplasms in this country. We also analyzed the 5-year survival, one-year fatality, and mortality
 rates for the studied period. Comprehensive comparative analysis of these epidemiological indicators made
 it possible to visualize the results of many years of work
 to improve oncological indicators and formulate further
 improvement directions.
 Conclusions: An analytical assessment of colorectal
 cancer statistical indicators of over a decade showed an
 increase in incidence, with some regions leading year to
 year. However, such indicators as early detection, one-year fatality, and mortality from colorectal cancer have
 improved.
