Abstract
This study investigates the factors of formation of malignant tumors of population under the age of 14. The heterogeneity of the geographical distribution of childhood cancer in Russia and in the world, as a rule, is a consequence of the influence of exogenous factors. The study, based on using comparative, cartographical, historical methods, and correlation analysis, allowed to highlight the importance of main environmental and economic determinants that contribute to the formation of malignant tumors of children: the degree of urbanization, regional economic development, the level of human impact on the environment, employment of parents and so on. The obtained results allowed conducting the clustering of Russian regions according to the degree of tension of the oncological situation in the area of incidence of the child population. The findings can be taken into account in developing cancer prevention programs with account of regional features, as well as in evaluating their effectiveness.
