ABSTRACT
Malignant tumors of large salivary glands are relatively rare neoplasms. In 2014 total of 1236 cases of this diseases were registered in Russia. According to the latest data of the International Agency for Research on Cancer (Volume X), the most common standardized incidence rate in various countries ranges from 0.6–0.9 per 100,000 men and 0.4–0.6 per 100,000 women. Objectives of study: The objective of this study is to calculate of a set of analytical indices including calculation of observed and relative survival rates to evaluate the efficacy of anti-cancer activities in relation to patients diagnosed of malignant tumors of large salivary glands. Materials and methods of study: To conduct the study, 896 patients with large salivary glands malignant tumors were selected from a database of the Cancer Registry for the period of 1994 through 2013. The estimation was performed in accordance with the requirements of the program Eurocare. Results of study: It was found that the most frequent value of the standardized incidence rates of malignant tumors of large salivary glands in different countries of the world community was 0.6–0.9 per 100,000 for male population and 0.4–0.6 for female population. In Russia these values were equal to 0.7 and 0.40/0000 (2014), and in St. Petersburg – 0.6 and 0.5 0/0000 (2014). A relative 5year survival rate was 61.9% for men and 69.9% for women, which was slightly lower than the European average (Eurocare). Conclusion: This study made it possible to estimate for the first time a series of analytical indices charactering the efficacy of anti-cancer activities in relation to patients diagnosed of malignant tumors of large salivary glands in St. Petersburg including estimations of a 5year observed and relative survival of patients.
