Survival of women with cancer in Samara region

Analysis of the survival of women with cancer was performed to assess effectiveness of cancer control programs in Samara region in 2003-2012. The calculation of the results involved a dynamic (actuarial) method based on the tables of survivorship. The study showed that Samara region has high quality health care for women with cancer because all survival parameters in most cancers have stable and reliable positive trends. Moreover positive trends are registered for the results of relative survival, though they were less significant and so far unreliable. This suggests further development and improvement of health care for women with cancer. Implementation of a target program “Development of Health care in Samara region in 2014-2020” includes practical realization of innovative organizational decisions on the basis of new technologies offered by basic science and tested in some developed countries.
