The incidence rate among women was 497.76 cases per 100 thousand population, among men - 489.35. In an interview with TASS, Kaprin noted the overall increase in the incidence: in 2021 - 397.91 cases per 100,000 population, in 2024 - 478.11, for 2025 - 493.85.
In the first place in prevalence are skin tumors, except for melanoma. Then there are cancer of the breast, prostate, malignant neoplasms of the trachea, bronchi, lung and colon.
The structure of morbidity in men and women is different: in the first, prostate cancer leads, in the second, breast cancer. According to Kaprin, this list is not constant – it is influenced by age, risk factors, lifestyle and diagnostic capabilities.
