Cancer mortality in the population of industrial city as a medical and social problem

We studied the role of malignant tumors in the formation of the loss of public health of the industrial city in the period of 1970-2010. The study included population living in the proximity of the nuclear industry enterprises. Data showed that malignant tumors were one of the main causes of deaths among the adult population (19.4%), deaths among people of working age (22.8%), life potential loss (9.2%), labor potential loss (46.4%), economic loss (10.0%), and primary disability cases among working age population (20%). Studying the role and prevalence of risk factors for the development of malignancies including the factors of long-term professional exposure to technogenic radiation is required.
