Geospatial Associations Between Environmental Contamination and Cancer Incidence in Ukraine

This study provides quantitative evidence that environmental pollution contributes to regional variability in cancer incidence across Ukraine. Although the strength of individual associations is mostly moderate, their statistical reliability, recurrence across multiple cancer types, and biological plausibility point to meaningful environmental influences on cancer burden. Methane, sulfur dioxide, particulate matter, NMVOCs, and hazardous waste generation appear to serve as sentinel indicators of complex environmental exposures and merit priority attention in environmental health policy. These findings should be interpreted as early-warning signals rather than direct causal proof, yet they underline the need for strengthened environmental monitoring, improved diagnostic capacity, and the integration of spatial epidemiological tools into cancer prevention strategies. Targeted interventions in high-burden regions, particularly those characterised by intensive industrial or agricultural activity, will be essential for mitigating environmentally linked cancer risks and reducing geographic disparities in disease burden across Ukraine.
