Abstract :

<p>According to GLOBOCAN/IARC (2013), in 2008, 1 384 000 new cases of east cancer incidence and 458 000 cancer related deaths were registered worldwide.An epidemiological research has been conducted in the University of Georgia to specify the number of east cancer incidencein Tbilisi. There has been data on 12 913 cases of east cancerin Tbilisi in 1998-2010 provided by the National Center for Disease Control and Public Health (NCDC). Tbilisi Population Cancer Registry provided information about 16 705 cases of death in Tbilisi female population in 2002-2004.Based on the descriptive analysis, it has been determined that in Tbilisi female population, the number and frequency of east cancer is an important medical and social problem. The frequency of incidence of east cancer in Tbilisi (ASR=123%000; AAR=158%000) and the frequency of cancer related deaths (ASR=33%000; AAR=43%000) correspond to the index of the average level of the developed countries of the world. Besides, according to both indicators in dynamics, there was an increase in east cancerincidence. Compared to 1988-1992, in 2008-2010, according to SRR, the frequency of east cancer rose by 3.5 times, and according to SIR &ndash; by 253%.In Tbilisi, in 2002-2004, the cases of deaths caused by cancerranked second after circulatory system and its share in the structure of death comprised 18%. In the structure of cancer mortality in women over 25, east cancer ranks first. At the same time, at a later period, 35-59, east cancer again ranks first in the structure of different causes of death. As a result of the research, recommendations have been worked out.</p>
