ECONOMIC EFFECT OF THE SURGICAL STAGE OF TREATMENT OF PATIENTS WITH COLORECTAL CANCER IN THE SMOLENSK REGION
Objective. To study the economic damage from colorectal cancer in the Smolensk region in 2019-2020. Methods. We have thoroughly studied 537 case histories of patients of the surgical department of the Smolensk Regional Oncological Clinical Dispensary. The work used information from the official accounting and reporting medical documentation of the Smolensk region, available in the OGBUZ SOOKD. The patients were divided into groups depending on age, gender, stage of the process and were comparable according to these criteria. Statistical processing of the results was carried out using an Excel spreadsheet processor. Results. In 2019-2020, the economic damage from colorectal cancer (CRC) during a two-stage operation (obstructive resection, colostomy closure) amounted to 14878337 rubles (23810195 rubles - 8931858 rubles), while from a three-stage operation (obstructive resection, colostomy, colostomy closure) - 42248414 rubles - (51180272 rubles - 8931858 rubles). The difference in the amount of costs is explained by the conduct of surgical interventions to a large number of patients with complicated CRC. Conclusion. The necessity of diagnosing malignant neoplasms of the colon and rectum in the early stages has been revealed, which will reduce the economic costs of treatment by 6.4 times. These data determine the need to invest in the prevention, early diagnosis and treatment of oncological diseases. Such investments can provide a significant economic effect in the long term, contributing to economic growth.
