The paper studies human capital losses caused by mortality from malignant neoplasms, as one of the main causes of mortality of the population of Ukraine. The purpose of the paper is to study the demographic losses of the population of Ukraine caused by mortality from malignant neoplasms for the period from 2000 to 2017 considering gender and regional peculiarities, as well as to assess the mortality from malignant neoplasms of a particular social group, namely persons of employable age forming the labor potential of the country. Extensive and intensive indicators and analysis of relative values were used in the study. It has been found that the proportion of mortality from malignant neoplasms in the general structure of mortality for the period from 2005 to 2017 has increased by 1.89 percentage points and takes second place among the causes of death of the population of Ukraine after blood circulatory system diseases. There has been analyzed the dynamics of the rate of mortality from malignant neoplasms per 100,000 people in terms of gender. The rate of mortality from malignant neoplasms per 100,000 people is 7,3 % lower. It has been found that mortality from malignant neoplasms among manhood is 1.43-1.52 times higher if compared to the female population. The main nosological forms of female mortality are leukemia and breast cancer, while it is leukemia and malignant neoplasms of the trachea, bronchi, and lungs among the male population. In terms of regional distribution, the highest rates of mortality from malignant neoplasms were recorded in Kirovohrad, Zaporizhzhia, Poltava and Dnipropetrovsk regions. While Transcarpathian, Volyn and Odesa regions have lower rates of mortality from malignant neoplasms. The paper is focused on premature mortality from malignant neoplasms of persons of employable age since they form the labor potential of the country and their premature mortality leads to significant gross domestic product losses. For the period of the study, the rates of mortality from malignant neoplasms of persons of employable age have decreased, but the decrease among the male population of employable age is slower (1.65-3.91 times) if compared to the female population (2.17-5.35 times). The implementation of the National Cancer Program helped to decrease the number of people with stage IV malignant neoplasms and increase the number of reveals of patients with malignant neoplasms during preventive examinations. These results can be used to improve comprehensive measures to fight cancer, as one of the main areas of public policy in the field of public health.
