“…In the 71% of the population studied in here, the highest incidence of CNS tumors was found in the age between 20 and 70 years old. This is in agreement with previous publication which confirms an incidence in most CNS tumors with age until the seventh decade [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27].…”

Background: Metastatic or primary cancers of the central nervous system are a dissimilar cluster of neoplasms with different consequences and management plans. The aim of this study was to obtain prevalence and incidence of brain and other nervous system tumors. Results: In all, 423 females and 620 males were identified. For the total population the period prevalence (PP) was calculated as 20.9 per 100,000 persons. This value corresponded to a PP of 24.5 for males and 17.2 for females. The mean (SD, range) age of the patients was 52.0 (20.7, 1-99) years. In the 7% of the population studied, age was under 20 years old of life, and in the 71%, it occurred around the age of 20 to 70 years old. In both genders, incidence rate (IR) increased from 4.2 to 5.7 per 100,000 persons. The changes of IR in males versus females were 8.2 versus 3.0 from 2011 to 6.4 versus 5.0 to 2015 per 100,000 persons. Conclusions: Among the total population studied, there were 586 reported deaths. The PP in the male population was 1.4-times higher than females. There was a 35.7% increase in the IR over the study period.

“…The results of this study showed that urinary bladder, kidney cancer followed an increasing trend in incidence, mortality and prevalence in Isfahan, Iran (14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(26)(27)(28)(29)(30)(31)(32). The implications of this investigation could be mentioned as the following suggestions: (1) the health care system should provide a model-based strategy to improve access to specialized medical, pharmacological and surgical facilities; (2) consideration is needed toward the reality for scheduling health system improvements, particularly referral systems; (3) preventing significant difficulties by equality of management for patient satisfaction; (4) attention toward financial management by study of epidemiology and pharmacotherapy.…”

Objectives: This investigation aimed to clarify the period prevalence (PP) and incidence rate (Irs) related to cancers of the urinary system in Isfahan province, Iran. Methods: Recorded data were obtained from the Isfahan Cancer Registry. The location of cancers was distinguished from the related established topography code (C64-C68). Period prevalence (PP) and Irs was identified per 100000 persons. Results: There were 2117 patients with urinary system cancers. The mean age ± SD was 63.6 ± 14.9 years old, which in 62% ranged between 20 and 70 years. A value of 42.5 was calculated for PP that was associated with values of 66.4 for males and 17.9 for females (P < 0.001). The total PP corresponded to values of 33.2 for bladder, 8.1 for a kidney, 0.42 for renal pelvis, 0.36 for ureter and 0.38 for other unspecified related organs. Of these populations, the estimated living cases corresponded to 368 females and 1513 males. Conclusions: The PP for urinary system cancers in male population was 3.7 times higher than females. There was a 23.2% increase in the Irs over the study period. These findings highlighted the advantage of a focus on the risk of urinary system diseases, its evidence based pharmacotherapy and surgical management of such patients. In this process, providing clinical drug-management has potential importance in Iran.

“…CRC is the main cause of morbidity and mortality in which was reported as the third deadliest cancer throughout the world (1). Due to Western influences of lifestyle in many countries, including Iran, the study of CRC is an important issue for health authorities (14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19). The mean age of patients in this study was 62.0 year with a tendency associated with 82% of occurrence in older age of life (50 to 98 years).…”

Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) as the most frequent malignant disease of the gastrointestinal tract, shows around 9.5% of all incident cancer internationally. However, different countries report dissimilar rates in incidence, but the rates change with time. Objectives: The aim of this study was to provide information associated with the CRC rate of incidence in Isfahan Province, Iran. Methods: This investigation was accompanied by Isfahan Kidney Transplantation Research Center. Data were collected from the Isfahan Cancer Registry. Period prevalence (PP) and incidence rate (Irs) were considered and reported per 100,000 persons. Results: In all, there were 2623 patients with CRC comprised of 2112 alive and 511 deceased reported individuals. For the total population, the PP was calculated as 52.6 and Irs significantly increased (P < 0.01) from 10.3 to 15.1 per 100,000 people. The mean (SD, range) age of the patients was 62.0 (14.4, 3-98) years. The total PP was corresponded to a value of 22.6 for females and 30.1 for males. Conclusions: There was a 47% increase in the rate of incidence over the investigated period. The PP was 6.8% higher in males than in females. In relation to the age, cancers occurred in 82% after 50 years old of life. Therefore, for allocation of health-care resources and attention toward strategic-based decisions, further studies in this direction seem to be advantageous.
