[Regularities of the dynamics of age-specific cancer mortality indicators in Russian population.]

Every year more than 600 000 (617 177 in 2017 year) of new cases of malignant neoplasms (cancer) and more than 290 000 (290 622 in 2017 year) of death are registered in Russia. Cancer is on the second place among all causes of death (15,9% - 2017 year) followed cardiovascular morbidity (48,8% - 2017 year), while in a number of economically developed countries the cancer treatment has reached a new level. About 20-25% of the population of Russia suffer from this disease. Malignant neoplasms are common noncommunicable diseases strongly associated with the age structure of the population. More than 70% (72,5%) of the diseased and about 80% (79,07%) of those who died in Russia were registered at pensionable age. Census data for the period since 1960 until now has shown, that the proportion of persons of retirement age has doubled, what certainly influenced the morbidity rate and number of deaths from malignant neoplasms. The population-based cancer registries, established in 1990s of XX century, contributed to improving the reliability of summarized data from the country's oncological service. It had become possible to conduct in-depth epidemiological studies of the malignant tumors prevalence. The dynamics of age-specific rates of mortality in Russia from cancer is overlooked in this paper, taking into account sex, age and leading localization of tumors. The specificity of the dynamics of the structure of oncopathology for men and women of different age groups is presented as well. The established patterns of the reduce mortality in Russia in standardized indices over a long period demonstrate the real success of the anti-cancer means.
