Abstract

The work is performed at the department of Department of Social Medicine, Public Health and Health Care Management od Dnipro State Medical University, 2021-2025. Gastric cancer is one the leading cause of the mortality, in general as well as due to oncological diseases. It was the fifth most common form of cancer and the fourth leading cause of the death due to oncologic diseases. Despite the fact that incidence rate of gastric cancer is decreasing worldwide, researchers and medical practitioners keep on working on the prevention measure against gastric cancer because of poor prognose of the survival rate for the patients with the diagnosis. Modifiable (such as high salt intake, consumption of processed red meat, smoked food and alcohol, smoking, Helicobacter pylori and Eppstein-Barr virus infections) and unmodifiable (such as male sex, family history of gastric cancer, hereditary cancer syndromes, gastric and general, autoimmune conditions of stomach mucosal lining) are well identified. Medication consumption is inevitable part of many people’s life. The use of medication despite benefits from the treatment of a disease can be associated with some sides, most often harmful effects. The aim of the research project was to study epidemiological tendencies of gastric cancer, including its main forms, and to investigate possible patterns of the consumption of pharmaceuticals in Ukraine that can impact development of gastric cancer.
