In 2022, 191.6 deaths per 100 thousand population in Russia were attributed to malignant neoplasms. The highest mortality rate due to that reason across the country was recorded in the Kurgan Oblast, measuring at over 259 deaths per 100 thousand inhabitants. The Ingushetia Republic had the lowest mortality rate from cancer, at 51.8 deaths per 100 thousand population.
Cancer mortality in Russia
Cancer is the second leading cause of mortality in Russia, being only superseded by circulatory system diseases which were responsible for 567 deaths per 100 thousand population in 2022. However, the number of deaths from cancer has been steadily decreasing year-on-year. In 2021, approximately 279 thousand Russians deceased due to a malignant tumor. That marked a four-percent decrease from the previous year. Furthermore, the five-year cancer survival rate reached an all-time maximum. As of 2021, nearly six in ten patients in Russia continued to be registered with an oncological establishment for five years or more after receiving their diagnosis.
