KEY INDICATORS OF MEDICAL CARE FOR CANCER PATIENTS IN THE AMUR REGION

Abstract

Materials of the research was accepted in the Russian accounting and reporting documents of cial cancer statistics. The article presents the main indicators of medical care for cancer patients in the Amur region, where the 2014 3012 registered new cases of malignant neoplasms, which is 8.9 % more than in the previous year (2013 year – 27.67). Under medical supervision were 15997 patients, i.e. 2 % of the population. Of these, a 45.5 % male and 54.5% female. The maximum number of cases was in the age group 50–69 years. Fewer patients with I–II stages of the process, but it was more of patients with advanced forms of cancer pathology. The number of patients identi ed during preventive examinations amounted to 593 (2013 – 513). Mortality remained at the same level – 120.3 (2013 year – 129.5), whereas the incidence for the last 5 years has increased from 221.7 to in 2010 to 249.9 in 2014 (per 100 000 population). Mortality in the rst year from the time of diagnosis has decreased to 28.4 % (2013 year – 29.4 %). The proportion of patients registered for 5 years or more is 54.5 %. In the cities and districts of the region signi cantly reduced the number of oncologists (2012 year – 22; 2014 year – 13). In 2014 registered 20 cases of malignant neoplasms in children. Data on spatial features of the cancer disease are the basis for the analysis of cancer epidemiology in a speci c region and is aimed primarily at the prevention of this disease.
