Breast cancer (BC) is the most common diagnosed cancer and the leading cause of cancer mortality in women worldwide. The epidemiological picture of BC among the population of the Crimea Republic is analyzed with a comparative evaluation with nation-wide rates. According to the presented data the incidence of BC in the Crimea Republic has a clear upward trend. Incidence growth is mainly due to the female population among the «employable» contingent that requires regular clinical examination and screening these patients. In prognostic estimates by 2020 the incidence rates of BC in female population will increase by 10 % compared to 2015. The increase of the prevalence, contingent accumulation index, the proportion of patients experiencing more than 5 years, and reduction in mortality of the observed patient cohort shows better results of BC treatment in the Crimea Republic as compared to the All-Russian data.
