Epidemiological Aspects of Morbidity and Mortality from Cervical Cancer in Kazakhstan

Abstract: Epidemiological studies of cancer incidence in Kazakhstan have revealed an uneven distribution for cervical cancer. Incidence and mortality rates were calculated for different regions of the republic, including the two major cities of Almaty and Astana, in 1999-2008. Defined levels for cartograms for incidence were low (up to 12.8/100,000), medium (12.8 to 15.9) and high (above 15.9) and for mortality were up to 7.1, 7.1 to 10.8 and more than 10.8, respectively. Basically high incidence rates were identified i… Show more

“…The spatial analysis of CC incidence indicates geographical variability, so low incidence rates (per 100,000 population of female) were established in the southern regions of the republic: South Kazakhstan (12.3), Kyzylorda (13.0), Mangystau (13.3) and Zhambyl (13.9), this trend has continued since the last study was performed (Igissinov et al, 2012), but the indicator values have increased. It should be noted that there have also been changes in the distribution of areas in the regions of medium and high incidence.…”

“…This might be partly due to the prevalence of Russian ethnicity in these provinces, given the ethnic differential in incidence rates (Igissinov et al, 2013). In contrast, esophageal cancer appears most frequent in the West of the country (Igissinov et al, 2012a) and cervical cancer in the northern half (Igissinov et al, 2012b).…”

“…According to the International Agency for the Study of Cancer in the world, about 528,000 new cases of cervical cancer are recorded annually and about 266,000 women die from this pathology. 1 In this case, the incidence and mortality from cervical cancer has a significant geographical variability [2][3][4][5][6][7][8] and depends on many exogenous and endogenous causes, which of course, in turn, are associated with socioeconomic, demographic factors, reproductive history, etc., as evidenced by numerous studies. [9][10][11] In Uzbekistan, as in many countries, cervical cancer also represents one of the urgent problems in oncogynecology.…”
