Between January and December 1989, 541 new cases of cancer have been diagnosed at Hôtel-Dieu de France Hospital at Beirut. These cases were among 5400 histopathologic or hemato-cytologic examinations performed during the same period. There were 311 men (57.5%) and 230 women (42.5%). In men lung cancer was the most common site (19%) followed by bladder cancer (16.7%) and prostate cancer (11.6%). In women the most frequent cancer reported was breast cancer (36.1%) followed by uterine (body and cervix) cancer (15.2%) and digestive tract tumors (12.3%). Hematologic malignancies were more frequent between children and young patients. We have noted a progressive frequency of breast, lung, digestive tract, bladder and genito-urinary cancers with age. The establishment of a national tumor registry covering all diagnosed patients in different Lebanese Institutions is warranted.
1989年1月至12月期间，贝鲁特法国主宫医院确诊了541例新癌症病例。这些病例来自同期进行的5400例组织病理学或血细胞学检查。其中男性311例（57.5%），女性230例（42.5%）。男性中，肺癌是最常见的部位（19%），其次是膀胱癌（16.7%）和前列腺癌（11.6%）。女性中，报告最多的癌症是乳腺癌（36.1%），其次是子宫（体部和宫颈）癌（15.2%）和消化道肿瘤（12.3%）。血液系统恶性肿瘤在儿童和年轻患者中更为常见。我们注意到，乳腺癌、肺癌、消化道癌、膀胱癌和泌尿生殖系统癌症的发病率随年龄增长而逐渐上升。有必要建立一个覆盖黎巴嫩不同机构所有确诊患者的国家肿瘤登记处。
