Abstract

Justification: cancer of a thyroid gland the most frequent tumor of endocrine glands with a tendency of steady increase of incidence. Aims: to study the structure, prevalence and trends in incidence, morphology of thyroid cancer among residents of the Kabardino-Balkaria for the period 19902014 years. To carry out the comparative analysis of incidence on gender and age of the population, geographical zones of the territory. Material and methods. Annual reports the Oncological clinic of Ministry of health K-B, archival biopsies and postoperative material Pathology Bureau. Designed intense (coarse) and the standardized value for age and sex, the annual growth rate in the incidence of thyroid cancer using the world standard age distribution. Standardization carried out by the direct method. Results. The rate of growth of the disease in the K-B exceed all-Russian especially impressive trend is observed among men. Intense (rough) values of the incidence is highest at age 5059 years, standardized 70 years and older. K-B urban residents suffer most are the mountain population of the plains most rural. Morphologically, the vast majority of carcinomas were the high-differentiated histological forms, more than half of the cases associated with a goiter. Conclusions. The obtained results allow us to actively identify patients in the early stages, it is more efficient to carry out medical examinations and preventive measures, to plan a rational treatment strategy for patients.
