| خلاصه مقاله | Introduction:
Cancer is a major public health problem in Iran. The aim of this study was to evaluate trends in incidence of ten
common cancer in Iran, based on the national cancer registry reports since 2004 to 2009.
Methods:
This epidemiological study was carried out based on existing data, source for the age-standardized estimate cancer
data were the national report on cancer registry /ministry of health in Iran, The obtained data was analyses by test
for linear trend and P ≥ 0.05 was taken as the significant level.
Results:
Totally, 41169 and 32898 case of cancer were registered in men and females, respectively, during this years. Overall
age-standard incidence rate (ASR), per 100,000 population according to primary site is 125.59 and 113.43 in males
and females, respectively. Between 2004 and 2009 years, the ten most common cancers (excluding skin cancer) are
stomach (16.25), bladder (12.6), prostate (11.02), colon-rectum (10.14), Hemeto.sys (7.10), lung (6.12), esophagus
(6.39), brain (3.16), Lymph node (3.76) and larynx (3.44), in males; and in females are breast (27.37), colon-rectum
(9.29), stomach (7.59), esophagus (6.39), Hemeto.sys (4.82), thyroid (3.86), ovary (3.62), Corpus uteri (2.95), bladder (3.25) and lung (2.63). Moreover, results showed that skin cancer was estimated as the one common cancer in
both sexes. The lowest and the highest incidence in females and males have been reported respectively in 2004 and
2008. Over this period, the ASR of cancer in both sexes has been significantly increasing (p<0.001).
Conclusion:
Like other the less developed and epidemiologically transitioning countries, the trend of age-standardized incidence
rate of cancer in Iran is rising. Due to the increasing trends, the future burden of cancer in the Iran is possibly to be
excess by the expected increases in aging population. Determining and controlling potential risk factors of cancer
lead to decrease in its burden. |
