Abstract

The incidence of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in children in Azerbaijan Republic is analyzed for the first time for the period of 1998-2008. The incidence of ALL in children was increasing over the analyzed period at an annual increment of3.39 ± 0.9%. Comparative analysis of epidemiological data in Azerbaijan Republic and Republic of Belarus has shown a probable neglect of ALL cases in girls and in infants aged under 1 year in Azerbaijan Republic. The need in creation of the population cancer register of children in Azerbaijan Republic is demonstrated.
