Epidemiology malignant tumors of the eye and its adnexa (populationbased study)

The article presents data on the incidence of malignant tumors of the eye and its adnexa in Russia (according to the state reporting) and St. Petersburg (in accordance with the Population-based Cancer Registry (PCR)). There is reflected information included in the new X volume of the monograph of the International Agency for Research on Cancer «Cancer in five continents,» where only data for St. Petersburg were presented from Russia. During the period since the publication of our first article («Ophthalmology» 2012 №3) the Ministry of Health of Russian Federation has taken into account our proposal and included information on registered cases of primary malignant tumors of the eye and its adnexa (C69) in the state reporting (f. №7). Data on the frequency of new cases of malignant tumors are summarized in Russia by the staff of the P.A. Herzen Moscow Research Oncological Institute. Published data are for 2011‑2013.

Purpose. To present the latest data on the incidence of malignant tumors of the eye and adnexa.

Material and methods. There were used statistical materials of the International Agency for Research on Cancer, the statistical materials of the P.A. Herzen Moscow Research Oncological Institute, data of the Population-based Cancer Registry of St. Petersburg. The standard methods of estimation of analytical rates were used as well.

Results. Taking into account that at a national level (F. №35) there is no possibility of estimating of analytical rates such as the level of morphological verification, the distribution of patients according to the stage of disease, the possibility of analysis by administrative territories of malignant tumors of the eye and adnexa by age and sex groups, these estimations can be carried out only on the basis of the territorial registries.

Conclusions. Data on mortality from malignant tumors of the eye still remain inaccessible to researchers as far as the State Statistics Committee considers them as other group. The determine characteristics of mortality from malignant tumors of the eye can be obtained only from cancer registries database.
