Abstract

Background

This study aims to investigate the incidence and mortality rates of malignant neoplasms in Kazakhstan in 2022 and to analyze the organizational aspects of cancer care.

Methods

Data from 33,177 patients with malignant neoplasms registered in oncological institutions in 2022 were analyzed. The study focused on treatment completion rates and the distribution of treatment modalities, including surgical, radiation, medicinal, combined, comprehensive, and chemo-radiation therapies. Comparative analysis with international data was conducted to assess the effectiveness and adherence to global oncological standards.

Results

The analysis revealed that 55.2 % of patients completed specialized treatment, with complex treatment being the most common modality (94.3 %). High completion rates were observed in breast cancer (65.9 %) and cervical cancer (68.8 %), reflecting the effectiveness of early detection and multidisciplinary approaches. However, lower completion rates were noted in liver cancer (26.2 %) and leukemia (23.0 %), highlighting the need for improved diagnostic and treatment strategies. Comparative international data indicated similar trends, with countries like the USA, UK, Japan, and Australia demonstrating the effectiveness of multidisciplinary and comprehensive treatment approaches.

Conclusion

The study underscores the importance of a multidisciplinary approach in treating malignant neoplasms, with Kazakhstan's practices largely aligning with international standards. Nevertheless, there is a need to enhance early diagnosis and treatment completion rates for specific cancers such as liver cancer and leukemia. Strengthening screening programs, improving access to modern treatments, and integrating international best practices can further improve patient outcomes in Kazakhstan.

哈萨克斯坦共和国恶性肿瘤发病率和癌症治疗的组织方面

背景本研究旨在调查 2022 年哈萨克斯坦恶性肿瘤的发病率和死亡率，并分析癌症治疗的组织方面。方法分析了 2022 年在肿瘤机构登记的 33177 名恶性肿瘤患者的数据。研究的重点是治疗完成率和治疗方式的分布，包括手术、放射、药物、综合、化疗和放疗。分析结果显示，55.2%的患者完成了专业治疗，其中综合治疗是最常见的治疗方式（94.3%）。乳腺癌（65.9%）和宫颈癌（68.8%）的治疗完成率较高，反映了早期发现和多学科治疗方法的有效性。然而，肝癌（26.2%）和白血病（23.0%）的完成率较低，突出表明需要改进诊断和治疗策略。国际数据比较显示了类似的趋势，美国、英国、日本和澳大利亚等国都证明了多学科综合治疗方法的有效性。然而，对于肝癌和白血病等特定癌症，还需要提高早期诊断率和治疗完成率。加强筛查计划、提高现代治疗的可及性以及整合国际最佳实践，可以进一步改善哈萨克斯坦患者的治疗效果。
