To determine the cancer pattern of the city of Karachi for the years 1995-1996.
The Karachi Cancer Registry, established in 1995 by the Government of Sindh, in collaboration with the IARC is an active registry. The staff collect the data pertaining to cancer patients and record it on the registry forms. Hospitals in Karachi, district south as well as some of the hospitals in other districts of the city, where patients are likely to go for treatment or diagnosis are visited. People residing in the district for more than six months prior to the onset of the malignancy were considered "residents". All the cases diagnosed on or after 1st January 1995 till 31st December 1996 were considered for analysis.
In the years 1995-96, the most common cancer sites among males were cancers of the lung, oral cavity and lymph nodes. For females, breast cancer ranked first, followed by cancer of the oral cavity and ovary. The age standardized rate for all cancers was 96.3 per 100,000 in males and 96.9 per 100,000 in females. At this early stage of registration we assume that the registry has a missing rate of approximately 20-25%.
The pattern of malignancies in Karachi is similar to the western countries, with lung and breast being the commonest tumors amongst the males and females respectively. The Asian countries have stomach/lung/oral cavity/liver as the commonest tumors amongst the males and cervix/breast amongst the females. Pakistan being a Muslim country, the incidence of cervical cancer showed an expected low figure.
确定1995 - 1996年卡拉奇市的癌症模式。
卡拉奇癌症登记处由信德省政府于1995年与国际癌症研究机构合作设立，是一个活跃的登记处。工作人员收集与癌症患者相关的数据，并记录在登记表格上。走访了卡拉奇市南部地区的医院以及市内其他地区一些患者可能前往治疗或诊断的医院。在恶性肿瘤发病前在该地区居住超过六个月的人被视为“居民”。所有在1995年1月1日及以后至1996年12月31日期间确诊的病例都纳入分析。
在1995 - 1996年，男性中最常见的癌症部位是肺癌、口腔癌和淋巴结癌。女性中，乳腺癌位居首位，其次是口腔癌和卵巢癌。所有癌症的年龄标准化发病率男性为每10万人96.3例，女性为每10万人96.9例。在登记的这个早期阶段，我们假设登记处的缺失率约为20% - 25%。
卡拉奇的恶性肿瘤模式与西方国家相似，男性和女性中最常见的肿瘤分别是肺癌和乳腺癌。亚洲国家男性中最常见的肿瘤是胃癌/肺癌/口腔癌/肝癌，女性中是宫颈癌/乳腺癌。巴基斯坦作为一个穆斯林国家，宫颈癌的发病率显示出预期的低水平。
