“…Controlling the high incidence of upper gastrointestinal cancers (UGCs) in the northern regions of Iran requires the implementation of corrective interventions. These interventions should cover the areas of prevention, early detection, treatment, and palliative care 10 . The design and implementation of these interventions requires the existence of effective evidence regarding the incidence, prevalence and burden of these cancers.…”

BackgroundCancers, especially Upper Gastrointestinal Cancers (UGCs), pose a substantial burden on society, particularly in developing nations. Golestan province, Iran, is known for its high UGC rates globally.AimsThis study delves into the disease burden of UGCs in the eastern part of Golestan province.Methods and ResultsThis study was conducted using the results of the Golestan cohort study. 2711 patients participating in this cohort, who visited Atrak Clinic during 2001–2020, participated in this study. After excluding patients with incomplete records, 2481 patients were included in the study. To compute the metrics of years of life lost (YLL), years of life lived with disability (YLD), and disability‐adjusted life years (DALY), we utilized the World Health Organization's standard life table, stratified by age and gender. The majority of UGC patients in our study were married (81.8%), had limited formal education (82.6%), and were predominantly male (61.1%). A substantial proportion resided in suburban areas (85.8%), and over half of the patients (52%) reported a history of drug addiction. The mean age at diagnosis for men was 65.76 years with a standard deviation of 11.34, while for women, it was 64.38 years with a standard deviation of 11.66. Regarding disease impact, YLL, YLD, and DALY for men were 21 240, 1956, and 23 196 (307.8 per 100 000), respectively. For women, these figures were 15 609 for YLL, 1367 for YLD, and 16 976 (223.1 per 100 000) for DALY.ConclusionAfter the increasing trend of the burden of UGCs in Golestan province in the early years of the study, this rate has been decreasing in recent years. Effective strategies necessitate collaborative efforts across various sectors to alleviate this burden, focusing on preventive measures, timely diagnosis, and well‐coordinated therapeutic interventions.

“…The EC rate in Iran is higher than the average incidence in both genders globally. This country ranks fifth and eighth concerning EC with an age-standardized rate of 0.88 and 6.15 per 100,000 person-years in men and women, respectively [ 12 ]. As a large country with a variable cancer prevalence, gastrointestinal cancer, especially the esophageal type, is more prevalent in the northern regions of Iran [ 13 , 14 ].…”

“…The global incidence of this disease has increased from 10 million per year in 2000 to 15 million in 2020. More than half of these deaths occur in developing countries (4). Lung cancer, breast cancer, colon cancer, skin cancer, prostate cancer, and stomach cancer are the most common cancers in the world (1).…”

Background: Stomach cancer is the fourth most common cancer in the world and first cancer in Iran. The northern and northwestern regions of the country are areas with a high prevalence of gastrointestinal cancers, especially gastric cancer. Different factors are effective in the incidence of this cancer. Objectives: The present study aimed to evaluate the epidemiology of gastric cancer. Methods: This research was a cross-sectional study. All patients referred to Tohid Hospital in Sanandaj between 2012 and 2018 were examined. Data were extracted using patients' medical records. Descriptive information was collected through SPSS software, and the results were analyzed. Results: The number of patients in this study was 553. The mean age was 66.9 years, and the highest age group was 60 - 80 years. Four hundred twelve patients were male, and 141 were female. In 50% of patients, the location of the cardiac tumor was gastric. Chemotherapy was the most common treatment in more than 60% of patients. Conclusions: The results of this study show that smoking is unfortunately high in patients in this province. An educational intervention to quit smoking is recommended. Smoking is an important risk factor for gastric cancer, and this intervention may also be effective in reducing the incidence of this disease.
