Peculiarities of morbidity, prevalence of cancer of prostatic gland in Ukraine in the regional aspect by the data of prolong follow-up

The work presents the results of the analytic synthetic, comparative analysis of the morbidity and prevalence of cancer of prostatic gland (CPG) in Ukraine in the regional aspect for 10 years (2004-2013). Two 5-year periods are separated out to define not only the dynamics of processes but their intensity as well. Besides, there have been studied the corresponding data for 2014-2015 to make more precise the character of changes in connection with the known events which affected the territorial integrity of the country.

There was noted the countrywide increase of the morbidity levels of the morbidity and prevalence of CPG the intensity of which was more expressed in 2009-2013 and this tendency retained during 2014-2015, too. There have been traced the variability of indices, the coefficient of which was higher in the prevalence, that mediately testifies to its dependence on the organization and quality of medical aid. By the results of systemization of trend dynamics of the morbidity levels and the prevalence by the complex assessment of indices (2004-2015), there have been objectivized the stratification of districts; there have been allocated the territories with very high, high, above the average and below the average levels (per 100 000).
