The Age-standardized and Crud Incidence Rate of 5 Common Cancers in Jiroft University of Medical Sciences

Abstract

Introduction: Today, due to unhealthy lifestyle, we are facing an increase in non-communicable diseases, including cancers. The aim of this study was to determine the age-standardized and crud incidence rate of 5 common cancers in Jiroft University of Medical Sciences. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on all diagnosed cases of cancer in the cities covered by Jiroft University of Medical Sciences in 2017. After eliminating duplicates, the crude and standardized age of 5 common cancers was calculated. SPSS software version 22 was used for data analysis. Results: In this study, 601 cancer patients in 2017 with a mean age of 55.53 ± 21.82 years were studied. Of these, 347 (57%) cases included cancers in males. The highest incidence of cancer was in the age group of 64-60 with a frequency of 76 (12.6%). The crude incidence and standardized age incidence of total cancers in the university-covered population were 88.21 and 110.89 per 100,000, respectively, and the most common cancers in the total population included breast, skin, lung, liver, brain and nervous system. Conclusion: Decreasing the age of cancer in population of study and high incidence in men as well as the difference of 5 common cancers in each region indicate that the risk factors are different in different regions. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct qualitative research, correct implementation of screening programs and early diagnosis and education of all groups in the community to identify risk factors and adjust and control them.
