The aim of this study was to investigate the epidemiological aspects of malignant tumors of head and neck in southeast of Iran, with a view toward analyzing the age, gender and site distribution and histological types.
All cases with malignant tumor of the head and neck region from 1999 to 2009 were retrieved from the records of cancer registry center of Kerman University of medical sciences and all pathology laboratories of Kerman province.
A total of 1604 cases were recruited during the study period. The mean age of patients was 53.03 years (standard deviation: 17.18, range: 2 to 95 years). Patients with a diagnosis of carcinoma were older than those with sarcoma and lymphoma (p<0.01). 18.4% of patients were below the age of 41 years. The overall male to female ratio was 2.74:1. Larynx was the most commonly affected site (46.76%) followed by oral cavity (15.9%). Squamous cell carcinoma was the most common diagnoses (77.5%), followed by lymphoma (9.4%).
The higher incidence of laryngeal cancer in the head and neck region in southeast of Iran is in agreement with findings of the other parts of Iran. Also, occurrence of head and neck cancer under 41 year olds is greater than what is reported for some countries.
本研究旨在调查伊朗东南部头颈部恶性肿瘤的流行病学情况，以分析年龄、性别、部位分布及组织学类型。
从克尔曼医科大学癌症登记中心记录及克尔曼省所有病理实验室中检索出1999年至2009年期间所有头颈部恶性肿瘤病例。
研究期间共纳入1604例病例。患者的平均年龄为53.03岁（标准差：17.18，范围：2至95岁）。诊断为癌的患者比肉瘤和淋巴瘤患者年龄更大（p<0.01）。18.4%的患者年龄在41岁以下。总体男女比例为2.74:1。喉是最常受累部位（46.76%），其次是口腔（15.9%）。鳞状细胞癌是最常见的诊断类型（77.5%），其次是淋巴瘤（9.4%）。
伊朗东南部头颈部区域喉癌的较高发病率与伊朗其他地区的研究结果一致。此外，41岁以下人群头颈部癌症的发病率高于一些国家的报道。
