The incidence of malignant neoplasms in the population of the territories of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) for the period 2010-2019

Abstract

The article presents data on the study of the current situation of the incidence of malignant neoplasms in the population of the territories of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), assessments of its relationship with the amount of pollutant emissions and ethnicity. It was revealed that the age-standardized incidence rate of cancer of all localizations (C00-96) for the period 2010-2019 in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) is lower than in the whole of the Russian Federation, both in men and women, and has a similar growth trend. Higher average long-term incidence rates of cancer of all localizations (C00-96) were observed in men and women living in the city of republican significance Yakutsk and in the industrial zone, and the lowest in the agricultural zone. No statistically significant correlation was found between atmospheric pollution from stationary sources and the incidence of cancer, but a negative relationship with the number of indigenous people living in the municipality was revealed. It is assumed that the increase in the incidence of cancer is associated with an improvement in the early detection of cancer that is common for the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) and the Russian Federation, as well as the variety of physical and chemical factors harmful to humans present in the territory of each municipality.
