Онкологическая ситуация в Республике Беларусь до и после аварии на ЧАЭС

The oncology situation in the Republic of Belarus over the past 35 years has been retrospectively analysed. The increase of the values of age standardized incidence rates is an undoubted evidence of its veritable growth. The similarity of the dynamic incidence curves for malignant tumors of various sites makes it possible to assume that some factors of the same type have an impact on their development. Distinct delineation of the time periods of drastic changes in cancer incidence enables to compare them with the changes occurring in the environment and to evaluate their possible correlations.
