According to data of Globocan 2018 year, 18.1 million of new cancer cases have been registered and more than half of these cases occur in the Asian continent. Moreover, among women, cervical cancer takes the 4th place in morbidity and mortality. In the Republic of Uzbekistan cervical cancer takes third place among all cancers. Thus, remaining one of the frequent oncogynecological pathology, cervical cancer is a serious public health problem both in the world and in Uzbekistan.
To analyze condition of morbidity and mortality of cervical cancer we studied the state report -Information on diseases of malignant neoplasms.
The average age of patients with cervical cancer was 61.3 in 2009 y, and 58.3 in 2019y. In 2009 y, the incidence rate per 100,000 population was 4.6, and in 2019 y this indicator increased to 5.6. Moreover, the highest incidence rate per 100,000 population in 2009 was observed in the Republic of Karakalpakstan, Tashkent city, Namangan, Andijan and Khorezm regions with indicators of 7.3; 7.0; 6.3; 5.8 and 5.7 per 100,000 population respectively, and the lowest in Surkhandarya (2.2), Kashkadarya (2.8) and Jizzakh (3.2) regions. In comparison of 2019 y, the highest incidence rate per 100,000 population was in Tashkent, the Republic of Karakalpakstan, Namangan and Khorezm regions with indicators of 11.8; 7.3; 6.8 and 6.5, respectively, and the lowest was observed in Kashkadarya (4.3), Samarkand (3.7) and Surkhandarya (2.8) regions. According to mortality rates, it was showed that there was growth of this indicator from 2.0 per 100,000 population in 2009 y to 3.0 per 100,000 population in 2019 y. Relatively high mortality rate per 100,000 population in 2009 y was observed in Tashkent (4.2), Khorezm (3.4) and Tashkent (2.9) regions, and in 2019 in the Republic of Karakalpakistan, Namangan and Khorezm regions with indicators of 5.8; 5.1 and 4.8, respectively.
In conclusion it can be shown that cervical cancer has a tendency to increase both morbidity and mortality in the Republic of Uzbekistan. The increase in morbidity is due to the intensive work of primary medical care, implementation of modern diagnostic methods, creation and use of diagnostic and treatment standards, and screening programs.
