Abstract. One of the important ways to develop the health system of the Republic of Uzbekistan is the rational use of drugs in medical practice. Medicines can provide an effective, cost-effective solution to a number of health-related problems if they are economically affordable, of good quality, and suitable for consoumption. In particular, according to the Decision of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan "On further development of oncology services in the Republic of Uzbekistan in 2017-2021 and measures to improve the provision of oncological care to the population" specialised oncological medical care for people in the formation and development of a system that fully covers all layers of the cervical cancer research is carried out using pharmacoeconomic analysis.
Keywords: oncology, cervical cancer, drug targeting, content analysis, disease treatment, ABC/VEN analysis.
Relevance of work. Today, while non-infectious diseases constitute the root cause of most global diseases, malignant tumours are one of the leading causes of death and are the only significant impediment to increasing life expectancy around the world in the 21st century. Cervical cancer is a serious health system problem and ranks second among oncological diseases. One of the main causes of a high mortality rate with cervical cancer is the detection of this disease in the late stages. From oncoginecological diseases, it is divided into cervical cancer, uterine srato and ovarian cancer. Cervical cancer is considered one of the serious diseases that threaten women's health. In 2020, there were nearly 570,000 new cases of cervical cancer in the world. More than 311,000 women die from this disease each year. According to the prevalence of cervical cancer, it is the fourth most common cancer in women in the world. As in the world, in our country, cervical cancer is next to breast cancer in terms of prevalence among women of all ages. In the current period, it is important to distribute budget allocations by the state to the health sector economically, making the most of them. In these conditions, treatment provides the opportunity to rationally and effectively use the drugs used in treating patients in preventive institutions, saving budget deductions. This is due to the fact that the quality of diagnostics is not satisfactory, the absence of oncological caution among general practitioners working in the primary state of the health system, in addition to the low medical culture of patients and as a result of this, the late referral to specialized clinics is ultimately explained by the inability to provide such patients with timely and necessary medical care. Thus, an analysis of literature from various sources showed that the incidence and mortality rates of cervical cancer are growing all over the world. This indicates the relevance of the problem of dealing with this pathology.
The purpose of the work. Studying the epidemiology and etiology of cervical cancer, analyzing the standards of treatment, conducting a pharmacoeconomic assessment of the drugs used in cervical cancer in ham and their rational use.
Materials and methods. The basis of the research materials was Tashkent regional branch of the specialized scientific practical medical center of oncology and radiology of the Republic of
Uzbekistan, the price data of drug preparations in wholesale pharmacy institutions from the consolidated price sheet of primary Statistics data, medicines and medical products. The study used methods of content analysis of drugs, cost effectiveness and disease value.
Research results and their discussion. Our methodological approach, which we used to analyse the prices of drug therapy for cervical cancer and determine the advantages among alternative treatment schemes, was based on the following principles: a) the choice of an object of study and the possibility of solving existing problems, b) complexity of the combination of marketing and Pharmacoeconomic population with clinical observation data.
Studies have noted that during chemotherapy, patients suffering from ovarian cancer are prescribed a 10-percent dose. DC Docetaxel + cisplatin and CC cisplatin + cyclophosphamide. Morphological examination performed as blood mesons showed that ultrasound / CT in patients with impaired renal function within 2 cm of the normal hematological index = 0-1-2 (in patients with a normal hematological diagnosis). The parameters and functions of the kidneys and adipose tissue, as well as vascular neoplasms, were observed in patients with severe forms of malignant neoplasms (up to 5 years old), and brain metastases.
When assessing the cost of treatment, direct medical costs associated with hospitalization, diagnostics, salaries of medical personnel, co-therapy, chemotherapy drugs, as well as the cost of treating complications (30% of the total cost of treatment) were taken into account. The average cost of therapy for 6 courses of treatment for Patient 1 was calculated.
It has been found that 7 pharmacotherapeutic groups have been used to treat cervical cancer: antimetabolites, plant alkaloids, an arsenal of antibiotics is fully used; alkylating and other anti-cancer drugs are used 40.0%. For a database and subsequent marketing analysis, drugs included in the list of basic drugs for studying the assortment of various drugs used to treat cancer of the female genitals, as well as the most used drugs in oncogynecology, according to literature, were selected.
In a case based on expert conclusions on the clinic, one guru was treated for patients under Scheme 1 i.e. DC - Dosetaxel + cisplatin. Table 1 presents the results of the application of Scheme 1 in relation to 1 patient. It was found to cost him 5,168,250 soums for patients treated mainly under scheme 1.

In the case based on clinical expert opinions, one group of patients was treated according to scheme 2, i.e. Cisplatin + Cyclophosphamide. Table 2 shows the results of the application of scheme 2 in relation to 1 patient. Based on it, it was determined that 549,000 soums will be spent for patients treated under scheme 2.

According to scheme 2 of the Gynaecology Department of Tashkent regional branch of the scientific-practical medical centre of specialized oncology and radiology of the Republic, the costs for the treatment of side diseases and drug side effects in patients treated using DC -Dosetaxel + cisplatin and CC - cisplatin + cyclophosphamide were determined. (Table 3)
Table 3 lists the costs of putting a diagnosis of cervical cancer, according to which we can see that the total cost is 352,500 soums.
In Table 4, the costs spent on the treatment of complications of an adverse condition were found. Based on it, the cost soum for Scheme 1 was - 4,171,651. The sum of costs for scheme 2 was 7,900,487. Costs at different stages of cervical cancer differ from each other. The earlier cancer is detected, the lower the costs are.
