Dynamics of thyroid cancer incidence in some regions of the Russian Federation (Leningrad, Saratov and Samara regions) over the last 10 years

Objective. To carry out a comparative analysis of the dynamics of thyroid cancer incidence in some regions of the Russian Federation (Leningrad, Saratov and Samara regions) over the last 10 years. Materials and methods. Statistical data from the official statistical reports of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation for the Leningrad, Saratov and Samara regions, were analyzed and compared with the data of the literature available on the studied problem from the open statistical and information databases ELibrary.Ru, Web of Science, PUBMED. Results. The conducted study revealed a number of important trends and regularities in the dynamics of thyroid cancer incidence in the Russian Federation. On the basis of the data obtained we can draw a conclusion that thyroid cancer is a relatively rare disease, but the dynamics of its prevalence is inexorably growing. Conclusions. The obtained results can be used to develop more effective measures for prevention and early diagnosis of thyroid cancer. For timely detection of possible changes and development of effective preventive and treatment measures, it is necessary to continue monitoring the incidence of thyroid cancer all over the country.
