“…This study showed SCC to be 98.44% and VC 1.56%. Another study in Nepal by (Srii et al, 2017) showed male patients had an age range of 53-83 Years while females had 55-72 Years. In this study, the age range for male patients was 18 to 82 years, while for females, it was 30 to 88 years.…”

Oral cancer is becoming very common and increasing day by day in Nepal. It ranks 6th in the world and 5th in Nepal among all types of cancer as of 2018. This is a hospital-based retrospective study. Required details of 128 patients who underwent surgery from 1st April 2018 to 30th October 2019 in Nepal Cancer Hospital and Research Center, Lalitpur. Data were collected age-wise, sex-wise, site-wise, and stage-wise prevalence was figured out. The data were analyzed using MS excel 2007. It was found that males were more commonly affected than females with the mean age for males at diagnosis being 53.3 years and females being 55.62 years. The tongue was the most affected site followed by GBS then buccal mucosa and RMT. Most people knew about cancer growing on them only at advanced stages.

PURPOSE Although cancer is an important and growing public health issue in Nepal, the country lacked any population-based cancer registry (PBCR) until 2018. In this study, we describe the establishment of the PBCR for the first time in Nepal and use the registry data to understand incidence, mortality, and patterns of cancer in the Kathmandu Valley (consisting of Kathmandu, Lalitpur, and Bhaktapur districts), which comprises 10.5% of the estimated 29 million population of Nepal in 2018. MATERIALS AND METHODS The PBCR collects information from facilities and communities through the active process. The facilities include cancer or general hospitals, pathology laboratories, hospice, and Ayurvedic centers. In the communities, the field enumerators or female community health volunteers collected the data from the households. In addition, the Social Security and Nursing Division under the Department of Health Services, which provides subsidy for cancer treatment of underprivileged patients, was another major source of data. The collected data were verified for residence, accuracy, and completeness and then entered and analyzed using CanReg5 software. RESULTS In the Kathmandu Valley, the PBCR registered 2,156 new cancer cases with overall age-adjusted incidence rate for all cancers of 95.7 per 100,000 population (95.3 for males and 98.1 for females). The age-adjusted mortality rate for males was 36.3 (n = 365) and for females 27.0 (n = 305) per 100,000 population. We found that the commonest cancers in males were lung and stomach, whereas in females, they were breast and lung cancer. Gallbladder cancer was among the top five common cancers in both sex. CONCLUSION These findings provide a milestone to understand the cancer burden in the country for the first time using the PBCR and will be helpful to develop and prioritize cancer control strategies.
