Abstract:   (4432 Views)
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.
