Epidemiological situation in case of cancer in Russia

Abstract

Analysis of the performance of medical organizations in the active detection, timely diagnosis and treatment of malignant neoplasms shows that it is not yet possible to significantly change the situation: the rates of change of indicators that are indicators of anti-cancer measures implemented do not correspond to those planned in a significant number of Russian regions, although in general Russia, the quality indicators of the work of health care are performed. Indicators of active detection of malignant neoplasms in Russia are inadequate to modern opportunities. Nevertheless, it should be noted that the situation is beginning to change for the better. The overfulfilment of the quality indicators of the health care system did not lead to the fulfillment of the main indicator indicator “mortality from neoplasms” (indicator for 2017 is 194.4 per 100 thousand people, performance is 200.6 per 100 thousand people). There is a high proportion of malignant neoplasms in the structure of total mortality (in 2010 14.3 %; in 2016 15.6 %, in 2017 15.9 %). The material and technical base of oncological medical institutions does not meet modern requirements for diagnosis and treatment. To implement the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation dated May 7, 2018 No. 204 ‘On the national goals and strategic objectives of the development of the Russian Federation for the period up to 2024' in terms of the event ‘Improving the system of medical care for cancer patients’ (2018-2025) significant organizational changes will be required to provide oncological assistance to the population of Russia.
