[The epidemiology of renal cell carcinoma in the regions of Siberia and the Far East (1994-2008)].

ABSTRACT

The article presents the results of an epidemiological study of territorial and temporal characteristics of incidence of renal cell carcinoma in population of Siberia and the Far East, taking into account age and gender. In the average, regional incidence of renal cell carcinoma in men was 10.6 +/- 0.1 per hundred thousand; in women--5.6 +/- 0.1 per hundred thousand. During the years 1994-2008, incidence increased by 1.4 times in male and female population. Based on the results of analysis, territories at-risk of renal cell carcinoma were identified--Omsk and Irkutsk regions. The incidence of renal cell carcinoma in child population was also evaluated. Peak incidence at the age of 4 years was revealed; in 2004-2008 it amounted to 1.72 +/- 0.32 per hundred thousand, which in turn has led to the fact that renal cell carcinoma took 2nd place (13.2%) in malignant tumors in this age group after hematological malignancies. The highest incidence and its high growth in infants during the study period were revealed in Kamchatka, Amur and Sakhalin regions.
