Demographic & Histotopographic Characteristics of Solid Cancers among Patients Referred to Kermanshah Health Care Centers, (2001-2004)

Abstract

Background & Objectives: In the 6-billion-population world 2000, approximately 10 million cancers were diagnosed, among which there were an estimated 6.2 million cancer deaths. Whereas the universality of cancer incidence and mortality is established, the burden of cancer by type or organ site is distributed unequally between developing and industrialized nations. We want to collect some information from the patients with solid tumors who were referred to Kermanshah hospitals during the period 2000 to 2004.
