Oncohematological diseases in the Russian Federation and in developed countries: mortality, incidence, resources and organization of medical assistance in consideration of the COVID-19 pandemic

Abstract

The purpose of the scientific work is to study the mortality and incidence of oncohematological diseases in the Russian Federation (RF) in comparison with developed countries (Great Britain, Germany, Spain, Italy, Canada, Poland, USA, Turkey, Finland, France, South Korea, Japan), as well as resources and volumes of medical care for patients of this profile. It was revealed that from 2012 to 2020 in the Russian Federation, mortality from all malignant neoplasms of lymphatic and hematopoietic tissue increased by 16%. In 2020, in the Russian Federation, compared with Germany, the primary incidence of non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas was 47% lower, leukemia – 21% lower, multiple myeloma – 36% lower, Hodgkin’s lymphoma – 9% lower. In 2020, in the Russian Federation, compared to Germany, the mortality rate from all of the above cancers was also lower, with the exception of Hodgkin’s lymphoma, the mortality rate from which was 3 times higher than in Germany. In the Russian Federation, compared with Germany, the ratio of mortality to primary morbidity in non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas was 34% higher, leukemia – 25% higher, multiple myeloma – at the same level, Hodgkin’s lymphoma – 2 times higher. In the Russian Federation, the prevalence of oncohematological diseases is growing annually by 6.8 thousand people on average, against this background, from 2019 to 2020, the volume of assistance is reduced by 0.5%.The results of a comparative study indicate that in the Russian Federation there is an insufficient detection of oncohematological diseases, their ineffective treatment, as evidenced by the high ratio of mortality to primary morbidity, as well as insufficient assistance, which does not reflect the growth rate in the number of patients with this pathology. All this can lead to an increase in mortality from cancer of the lymphatic and hematopoietic tissue.
