EPIDEMIOLOGY OF GASTRIC CANCER IN KAZAKHSTAN IN 2005-2014
An analysis of the gastric cancer incidence, mortality, five-year survival rate and the frequency of early revealing in the Republic of Kazakhstan for the period 2005-2014 was performed. As a result of the study, a statistically significant trend in declining incidence (from 18.9 to 16.4 per 100 000 population) and mortality from (from 15.0 to 11.8 per 100 000 population) was revealed. The frequency of early detection of gastric cancer (I-II stages) increased from 16.8 % to 34.2 %, but the five-year survival rate began to increase only in 2012. The incidence of gastric cancer decreased in 5 regions of Kazakhstan, mortality decreased in 9 regions, the increase in the frequency of early detection was observed in 8 regions of 16.
