A Unicenter Cross-Sectional Study of Cancer Patients data admitted at Urmia Milad Hospital: Pathobiological and Demographic Findings

Abstract

The exclusion criteria for the study were incomplete records or highly limited information.

Results: The mean age of female patients was significantly lower than that of male patients. Breast and bladder cancers are the most common type of cancer referred to the hospital, whereas larynx and cervical cancer   are the cancers with the lowest frequency.

Conclusion: The results of this study indicate that the disease pattern, main complaint, laboratory findings and pathology of patients have similarities and differences with international patterns. It should be noted that this single-center study cannot provide a comprehensive picture of cancer statistics in the province, though it offers valuable insights into the current conditions .
