Abstract

The aim of the study is to study the gender-age aspects of the incidence according to the materials of the Republican Oncologic Dispensary.Methods. For the observation period from 2010 to 2017 the incidence of lung cancer in men is more common – in some cities from 2 to 7 times in different age groups.Results. For the first time, lung cancer in men and women is mainly recorded in the age group of 30 – 39 years. In other age groups, no clear gender-age dependence has been identified, in addition to the upward trend in morbidity rates in persons over 40 years.Conclusion. It was found that the reduction of emissions of different groups of carcinogens in the air in Ufa and Sterlitamak led to a decrease in the incidence of respectively 9.72 and 31.17%, and an increase in emissions in Salavat and Oktyabrsky increased by 6.53 and 18.33%.
