“…In South Korea, the 5-year overall survival rate was 80.5% from 2015 to 2019 [ 5 ]. About 55% of cervical cancers were diagnosed at stages I-II from 2010 to 2020 in Uzbekistan [ 35 ]; in comparison, stage I-II comprised 86.3% of all cervical cancer data in Korea from 1999 to 2004 [ 36 ].…”

In general, as a country’s economy, education level, and life expectancy increase, the incidence of cancer increases. This is because the peak incidence of cancer occurs in individuals in their 70s and 80s, and the health proportion of non-communicable diseases increases with the development of the living environment. Changes in diet, lifestyle and enhanced methods of detection contribute to an increase in cancer incidence as well. Recently, Uzbekistan has grown rapidly, and its incidence of cancer is also increasing. In the health management of cancer, not only treatment but also the identification and prevention of causes and effective screening should be considered. South Korea has a common ethnicity with Uzbekistan and has successfully performed national screening for seven major cancers over the past 20 years. The 5-year survival rate after cancer diagnosis in Korea was only 42.9% 20 years ago, but recently it has improved to 70.7%. We formed an advisory consortium in which oncologists from Uzbekistan and Korea could cooperate for cancer management in Uzbekistan. This advisory consortium intends to present the necessary considerations and recommendations for cancer management in Uzbekistan by examining the literature and cancer statistics of Uzbekistan and South Korea. In addition to the overall analysis, we identified and reviewed the major cancers with high morbidity in three categories in Uzbekistan: gynecological cancer (breast and cervical cancer), cancer common in men (lung and liver cancer), and gastrointestinal cancer (stomach and colorectal cancer). This review covers the general cancer statistics of Uzbekistan and a detailed review of gynecological cancer between two countries, and relevant recommendations.
