Abstract

By statistical processing of Georgian Cancer Registry data of 2015-2016, clustering (grouping) of Georgian populations was realized, according to the intensity of the cancer disease prevalence, for the purpose of priority distribution of existed resources and means in the country and for the reduction of the number of patients and improvement of the quality of treatment. Cluster analysis methods of mathematical statistics were used for the study, which was directly implemented using universal statistical software package SPSS. The concept of disease index was introduced for achieving the intruded purpose. Its several variants were determined. The study results using indexes showed that it is possible to group objectively populated areas and regions of the country by intensity of dissemination of cancer disease.
