BLADDER CANCER IN THE KYRGYZ REPUBLIC

Abstract

Bladder cancer worldwide tends to rise and ranks ninth among all malignant tumors, 7th in terms of incidence among men and 17 among women, and 14th among the leading causes of death from cancer. In Kyrgyzstan, this indicator is significantly lower (1.4% of cases per 100 thousand inhab- itants), since this is an edge with environmentally favorable factors, where almost 97% are occupied by mountain ranges. The article presents an analysis of statistical data on the dynamics of the incidence of bladder cancer in the Kyrgyz Republic over the past 60 years based on medical documents on cancer patients. The authors found that during certain periods there are significant differences in the incidence rate depending on the national composition of the population of the republic, which is due to migration (1956-1970) and the re-emigration (1990-1993) of a significant part of the adult population of Russia.
