title: Morbidity, Disability and Death Rates of The Population Due to Malignant Neoplasms in Uralsk City in The Republic of Kazakhstan
abstract: Objective: The dynamics of morbidity, disability and death rates due to malignant neoplasms in the population in
  Uralsk city of the Republic of Kazakhstan were studied for 2011-2015, with a focus on age and sex, as well as tumor
  location. Methods: Statistics for total morbidity, primary disability and mortality from cancer in the adult population
  of the city of Uralsk for 2011-2015 were calculated per 100 thousand. Estimation of morbidity was based on data from
  form - №12 «Report on the number of diseases registered in patients living in the area of health care organizations
  and patient population under medical observation”. Evaluation of primary disability was based on form №7 «The
  distribution of newly recognized disabled by disease class, age, sex and disability groups” for 2011-2015 in Ural city
  and analysis of cancer was carried out using annual form 7 “Report on the sick, and diseases of malignant neoplasms”.
  Result: The most common localizations of cancer were the trachea, bronchi, lungs, stomach and mammary glands. High
  death rates were noted for patients with cancer of the trachea, bronchi, lung, as compared to stomach and esophagus.
  Conclusion: The results of our investigation and data in the literature indicate that regional characteristics influence
  the impact of risk factors associated with cancer. An unfavorable environmental background contributes to ill health of
  urban populations, contributing to development of cancer. Moreover behavioral risk factors are very important, such as
  smoking, alcohol drinking, and an unhealthy diet. All these factors require urgent adoption of a package of measures
  for prevention, early detection and timely treatment. Detailed study of cancer is necessary to develop national programs
  and activities for prevention and control.
