Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine the frequency and the distribution of the cancers which were diagnosed in pathology department between the dates of september 1994 and march 2004. Recordings of nine years of a total number of 38.804 surgical biopsies which were examined histopathologically have been investigated. Among these 38.804 materials 4151 (10.6%) have been evaluated as malignant. Among the patients which had a malignant tumor, 2464 (59.3%) were male and 1687 (40.6%) were female. The most frequent malignant tumors in females were esophagus (16.9%), stomach (14.5%), breast (9.4%), skin (8.5%), and thyroid (8.0%) and in male patients they were stomach (20.2%), skin (11.7%), bladder (9.8%), esophagus (9.4%) and lung (7.3%) respectively. Overall the most frequent five tumors were stomach (17.8%), esophagus (12.5%), skin (10.4%), bladder (6.3%), and lung (5.7%) respectively. Stomach and esophagus cancers were diagnosed as most frequent cancers in each sex so it is necessary to make a serious and extensive research for etiology.
