CANCER INCIDENCE IN ADMINISTRATIVE CENTERS OF SIBERIA AND THE RUSSIAN FAR EAST (1998–2012)
Abstract
Cancer incidence in the administrative centers of Siberia and the Russian Far East was first studied from1998 to 2012 years. Proportion of urban population ranged from 18.5 % in Kemerovo city to 56.0 % in Magadan city. During the study period, the incidence rate in the administrative centers of the region (259.1 ± 0.4 0/0000) was higher than in the whole region (233.0 ± 0.2 0/0000) (p<0.05). The lowest rates were observed in the Yakutsk city (206.8 ± 2.3 0/0000), Abakan city (212.1 ± 2.6 0/0000) and Kyzyl city (231.5 ± 4.2 0/0000), the largest rates were in Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk city (308.6 ± 3.1 0/0000), Irkutsk city (298.2 ± 1.6 0/0000) and Barnaul city (292.8 ± 1.5 0/0000). A significant rise in cancer incidence was observed among the urban population. The highest growth rates were noted in Irkutsk city (30.1 %), Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky city (26.8 %), whereas the lowest rates were found in Kemerovo city (0.1 %) and Omsk city (0.3 %). Cluster analysis allowed the group of cities with low and high cancer risk to be identified.
