Incidence and prevalence of cancers differ in different regions of the world. To study the profile of different cancers in a particular cancer belt helps to know the exact incidence of different cancers in that region and their likely etiology. The aim of this study was to analyze the incidence of different cancers in Kashmir valley.
Retrospective study of patients registered at our Regional Cancer Centre (RCC) from Jan. 2009 to Dec. 2011 was carried out. All patients were histologically proven malignancies and were referred to the RCC for proper staging and treatment. All patients were properly evaluated and treated.
A total of 8648 patients were registered during this period. Esophageal cancer was the most common cancer followed by cancers of Lung, Stomach, Colorectal, Breast, Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma, Gastro esophageal junction, Ovary, Skin, Gallbladder, Multiple Myeloma, Acute Lymphoid Leukemia, Urinary Bladder, Prostate and Hodgkin's lymphoma.
Pattern of malignancies in valley is different from rest of the India. Gastrointestinal malignancies are the commonest malignancies in Kashmir valley followed by lung cancer in males and breast cancer in females.
癌症的发病率和患病率在世界不同地区存在差异。研究特定癌症带中不同癌症的概况有助于了解该地区不同癌症的确切发病率及其可能的病因。本研究的目的是分析克什米尔山谷地区不同癌症的发病率。
对2009年1月至2011年12月在我们地区癌症中心（RCC）登记的患者进行回顾性研究。所有患者均经组织学证实为恶性肿瘤，并被转诊至RCC进行适当的分期和治疗。所有患者均得到了妥善的评估和治疗。
在此期间共登记了8648名患者。食管癌是最常见的癌症，其次是肺癌、胃癌、结直肠癌、乳腺癌、非霍奇金淋巴瘤、胃食管交界癌、卵巢癌、皮肤癌、胆囊癌、多发性骨髓瘤、急性淋巴细胞白血病、膀胱癌、前列腺癌和霍奇金淋巴瘤。
该地区的恶性肿瘤模式与印度其他地区不同。胃肠道恶性肿瘤是克什米尔山谷最常见的恶性肿瘤，男性中肺癌次之，女性中乳腺癌次之。
