From March 1980 to March 1989 a total number of 2254 (7.6%) new
malignant cases from Kerman province were diagnosed by examination of
surgical specimens, blood films and bone marrow smears. The crude relative
frequency of cancers was studied and compared with other areas of Iran.
Gastric (11.36%) and urinary bladder (7.01 %) carcinomas were significantly
more common in Kerman province than other parts of Iran. Esophageal
malignancy was also common in this area. No significant difference was
found in the pattern of lymphomas and leukemias. Frequencies of cancer of
the cervix (3.24%) and oral cavity (3.73%) were less as compared to other
parts of Iran.
