Abstract
Introduction/Background According to world statistical data, there were more than 604 thousand new cervical cases registered and more than 341 thousand of death from cervical cancer. In Uzbekistan, cervical cancer remains the most common cancer type.
Methodology We collected cancer incidence and mortality data from official statistical report in Uzbekistan for the years 2005–2022.
Results The results of the study showed, that the cervical cancer incidence of Uzbek population increased over 2005–2022 almost by 2 times. Thus, the number of newly diagnosed patients with cervical cancer over the last 17 years has increased from 971 to 1 851 cases and incidence rate per 100,000 population - from 3.7 to 5.1. The most commonly diagnosed cancer for both sexes in the country is breast (17.2%), followed by stomach (7.9%) and cervical (7.1%) cancer. Meanwhile, for women the most frequently occurring cancers are breast (28.1%), cervical (11.9%) and ovarian (6.6%) cancer. In turn, the number of death cases from cervical cancer over 2005–2022 raised from 414 to 969. Mortality rate per 100,000 population over 2013–2022 has increased from 1.6 to 2.7. In women breast (23.4%), cervical (12.7%) and stomach (7.1%) cancer are the main cause of death. In 2022, 71.0% of cervical cancer cases were detected in the early stages (I-II st) (in comparison with 2005 y – 59.3%), and 27.7% of cancer cases (2005 y - 39.7%) were diagnosed in advanced stages.
Conclusion In conclusion, it can be noted, that cervical cancer incidence and mortality continues to increase in Uzbekistan. Cervical cancer ranks 3rd in the overall structure of cancer incidence and 2nd place among women. Moreover, over the past 17 years, the state of the oncological service has improved significantly due to the improvement the quality of healthcare, medical equipment and implementation of guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of oncological patients.
