Current. The level of primary morbidity, prevalence and mortality of the male and female population of the Russian Federation from lung cancer remains high, despite the measures taken to prevent population and improve the organization of cancer care. A significant impact on the level of these indicators is caused by a decrease in the number and aging of the population. The population of many territories has risk factors for the development of the disease, socio-economic problems leading to late diagnosis, restrictions on the availability of specialized medical care due to a shortage of personnel in the healthcare system. The aim of the study is to estimate the dynamics of primary morbidity and mortality of the population of the Kurgan region from lung cancer over the past decade with the definition of the features of providing specialized medical care to patients and prospects for further work and improvement. Materials and methods. The information materials of the Federal Statistical Observation, the Unified State Interdepartmental Information and Statistical System of the Federal State Statistics Service were used. The dynamics of morbidity and mortality from lung cancer over the past 10 years has been traced. The results of the study. The level of morbidity and mortality of the population of the Kurgan region with lung cancer over the past 10 years has remained high; in comparison with the average Russian values, it exceeded those by 20-25%; some positive trends have been identified, but they are still insufficient in comparison with the all-Russian indicators and have not reached a solution in the goals and strategic objectives of the development of the Russian Federation. Conclusion. The measures introduced aimed at combating oncological diseases have outlined positive trends in the early diagnosis of the disease and the reduction of mortality from it. High levels of morbidity and mortality in the studied region of the Russian Federation require the search for their individual causes, and the improvement of the health care system.
