Abstract
Cancer imposes a heavy societal burden worldwide, and the development of the effective strategies for cancer prevention, diagnosis and treatment remains an important public health challenge. The purpose of this study was to analyze and assess the prevalence of cancer, cancer care and cancer-related deaths in various regions of Russia. Material and Methods. Changes in epidemiological characteristics (cancer incidence, quality indicators for cancer care) for 2021 were studied taking into account the data submitted within the framework of state reporting form No. 7 “Information on malignant neoplasms” of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. A systematic review of the literature (PRISMA) was conducted. The search was carried out using Elibrary, PubMed, MEDLINE, and Google Scholar databases. Results. Regional analysis of cancer care and cancer mortality in Russia has revealed important trends and factors influencing the effectiveness of medical care. Cancers of the breast, uterine body, prostate, colon, lymphatic and hematopoietic tissue, kidney, cervix, thyroid, rectum, trachea, bronchi, lung and stomach are the most common cancers in Russia, accounting for 69.2 % of all cases. The results of the analysis emphasize the need to improve cancer care system, especially in regions with high morbidity and mortality, which include the Penza and Tyumen regions, the Republic of Mordovia, Lipetsk, Samara and Novgorod regions. The low incidence and mortality rates were observed in the Vologda region, the Republic of Tyva, Primorsky Krai, the Chechen Republic, Vladimir region and the Republic of Ingushetia. Conclusion. The results of this study show the increase in cancer incidence in Russia. The data obtained also indicate an improvement in the cancer care provided every year. Implement innovations is increase the success of treatment and the quality of life of patients.
