Prostate cancer (PC) is the second most common type of cancer among men worldwide and is the fifth leading cause of cancer death in men.
The purpose and task of the present work is to analyze the frequency and structure of the PC incidence in the male population of the Odesa region for the period from 2018 to 2020; to identify regional features of the frequency and structure of prostate cancer in the cities and districts of the region. The object of the study is statistical data on the primary detection of prostate cancer in 26 districts, 7 cities and the regional center – Odesa – for 3 years, from 2018 to 2020.
The indicators of the National Cancer Register and Odesa Regional Clinical Oncology Dispensary for the period from 2018 to 2020 were analyzed for establishing the epidemiological characteristics of PC in the male population of the Odesa region.
The analysis of the quantitative indicators of the PC incidence among the districts of the Odesa region indicates significant heterogeneity and variability of these values. Although the Odesa region is characterized by an average incidence rate of PC compared to national indicators, during the observation period this difference increased downwards, thus, in 2020 this indicator was 21.8 ± 2.15 per 100 thousand population. Geographical differences between the region’s districts, as well as differences in the socio-demographic status of the population and their combination, can determine the difference in the PC incidence rates between the districts of the Odesa region.
Based on the analysis of the epidemiological status of PC among the districts of the Odesa region, the peculiarities of the dynamics of the PC incidence and their territorial dependence were identified and the following conclusions were formulated:
- The PC incidence rate among residents of the Odesa region corresponds to the national indicators but had a downward trend for the period of 2018-2020.
- The difference in the PC incidence rates between the districts of the Odesa region is related to their geographical differences and the socio-demographic status of the
Key words: epidemiological characteristics, prostate cancer.
