The Shaukat Khanum Memorial Trust has been operational, since February 1990. The first Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital and Research Center (SKMCH&RC) started functioning in Lahore on December 29, 1994. SKMCH&RC, Peshawar, started its operation in December 2015. The study aimed to give an overview of the cancer cases registered at SKMCH&RC over 28 years.
This study comprised patient data entered into the hospital information system after registration at the centers affiliated with the trust. The malignancies were stratified according to sex and age category (children [≤18 years] and adults [>18 years]).
Neoplasms of the breast, lower gastrointestinal (GI) tract, and lip and oral cavity were prevalent in all ages and both sexes combined; in adult females, neoplasms of the breast, ovary and uterine adnexa, and lip and oral cavity; in adult males, lower GI system, prostate, and lip and oral cavity; and in children, Hodgkin lymphoma, acute lymphoblastic leukemia, and non-Hodgkin lymphoma were predominant.
Cases registered in a hospital-based registry are important. When combined with information from other facilities, they can estimate population-level statistics. This can improve cancer surveillance in the country for effective disease prevention, control, and management.
绍卡特·汗努姆纪念信托基金自1990年2月开始运作。第一家绍卡特·汗努姆纪念癌症医院及研究中心（SKMCH&RC）于1994年12月29日在拉合尔开始运营。白沙瓦的SKMCH&RC于2015年12月开始运营。该研究旨在概述SKMCH&RC在28年间登记的癌症病例。
本研究包括在该信托基金附属中心登记后输入医院信息系统的患者数据。恶性肿瘤按性别和年龄类别（儿童[≤18岁]和成人[>18岁]）进行分层。
乳腺癌、下胃肠道（GI）肿瘤以及唇和口腔肿瘤在所有年龄组和两性中均较为常见；成年女性中，乳腺癌、卵巢和子宫附件肿瘤以及唇和口腔肿瘤较为常见；成年男性中，下胃肠道系统、前列腺以及唇和口腔肿瘤较为常见；儿童中，霍奇金淋巴瘤、急性淋巴细胞白血病和非霍奇金淋巴瘤最为常见。
在基于医院的登记处登记的病例很重要。当与其他机构的信息相结合时，它们可以估算出人群层面的统计数据。这可以改善该国的癌症监测，以进行有效的疾病预防、控制和管理。
