Hematological malignancies and lung cancer are most common in males, while breast cancer is most frequent in females in Punjab. This study provides crucial cancer frequency data for health planning in the region.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Epidemiology
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Pakistan lacks comprehensive population-based cancer registries, with no recent data from Punjab.
  • Existing registries like the Karachi Cancer Registry (KCR) have limitations.
  • This study addresses the data gap for cancer incidence in Punjab.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze cancer frequencies in Punjab.
  • To provide data for future health planning and research.
  • To identify common cancers in males and females in the region.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 5100 cancer patients from Jinnah Hospital (1997-2001).
  • Data collected included demographics, symptom duration, and disease stage.
  • Cancers were coded using the International Classification of Disease-oncology (ICD-10).

Main Results:

  • Female cancers (52.2%) were slightly more prevalent than male cancers (47.7%).
  • In males, leukemia, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, and lung cancer were most frequent.
  • In females, breast cancer (38.5%) and ovarian cancer (13.6%) were the most common.

Conclusions:

  • Hematological malignancies are the leading cancers in males in Punjab, followed by lung and colorectal cancer.
  • Breast cancer is the most common cancer in females, followed by ovarian cancer.
  • Gallbladder cancer appears more frequent in women, while cervical cancer is less common; data aids health planning.
