Incidence of soft tissue sarcomas in Russia
Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the rates and trends of soft tissue sarcomas (STS) in Russia. We consider both temporal and geographical variations. The Annual reports of Ministry of health and Federal State Statistics Service were used to extract information on cases including gender, age and geographical information. The relevant population data were also obtained Federal Statistics Service and statistical analysis included descriptive summaries, rates, and trend detection tests. The age-adjusted incidence rate of STS was 1,78 per 100 000 individuals per year for 2007 to 2011 (16 942 incident cases). Between 1989-2011 the incidence rate of STS rose statistically significantly at 1,9% per year (95% CI 1,8-2,0) and the greatest increase was observed in youngest children aged 0-4 years (AAPC=5,4% [95% CI 4,7-6,3]. There were more than doubling of average Russian incidence rates in some areas. International comparison showed that the incidence of STS in Russia is less than those in the most of developed countries.
