Rezumat

Introduction. Medical staff, both nurses and physicians, are subject to various carcinogens daily, leading to the development of both benign and malignant tumors, especially in certain specialties. Both the ineffective annual medical checkup and their negligence towards the early symptoms of cancer and the phobia for this disease, the self medicating treatments have led to an increase in the mortality rate among health care professionals. It is important to study this disease among physicians and nurses as it is insufficiently studied and because health professionals and the health system are responsible for the health of the population. Aim of the study. To study the cancer phenomenon among health care workers. Materials and methods. Medical records of 2034 patients, medical workers registered within the Cancer Registry of the Republic of Moldova during the 2000 2016 were analyzed. Results. Oncological mo rbidity in the Republic of Moldova increased from 158.5% 00 per 100,000 population in 2000 to 279.4% 00 in 2016, and from medical workers from 238.3 to 348.3 in 2016. Mortality due to malignant tumors among general population increased from 124.9 case per 100,000 population in 2000 to 173.4 cases per 100,000 of population in 2016. Among health care professionals the mortality increased from 143.4 in 2000 to 172.8 in 2016. The five year survival rate in cancer patients declined from 50.3% in 2000 to 44.1% in 2016, and among health care professionals from 51.6% in 2000 to 45.6% in 2016. The scientific forecast shows that by 2020 the incidence of cancer among health care professionals will increase to 368.1 and the fiveyears survival rate will be 44.1%. Conclus ions. The early oncological withdrawal rate among health care professionals in the Republic of Moldova was 9.3% in 2000 and increased to 15.2% in 2016, with the fourth clinical group declining from 28.7% in 2000 to 22.7% in 2016. The proportion of malignan t tumors is higher among rural health care workers (55.4%) in comparison with urban ones (44.6%). The most affected is the age group 60 69 year, with 36.2% of cases. The screening for worksite related risk factors among health professionals should be stren gthen.
