METHODICAL APPROACHES TO THE ANALYSIS OF THE ACTIVITIES OF THE CANCER SERVICE ON THE BASIS OF THE FORMS OF STATE REPORTING AND THE DATABASE OF THE POPULATION CANCER REGISTER OF THE NORTHWESTERN FEDERAL DISTRICT. PART II

Abstract

On the second part of the article the main attention is paid to the analysis of survival of patients with malignant tumors calculated on the base of the database of the population cancer register of the northwestern Federal district. The main criterion for assessing the state of oncological service is 1 and 5-years observed and relative survivals of patients with malignant tumors. Unfortunately, the number of cancer registers calculating survival rates of patients with malignant tumors according to international standards is limited in Russia. We present calculations of the dynamic series of the survival median. Defects of its objective assessment are revealed. Positive dynamics of 5-year observed survival of patients with malignant tumors in the Russian Federation is shown. Dynamics of 1 and 5 year survival of cancer patients is considered in pairs taking into account sex, age and stage of disease. There has been some improvement, especially among the female population. As can be seen from the data presented at the first year of observation, about 35 percent of patients die in the region, as in the most European countries.
