Aim:
The aim of this retrospective study was to analyze 6,613 diagnosed cancer cases in the Black Sea Turkish province of Giresun over a period of 12 years.
Material And Method:
Data of this retrospective crosssectional study was collected from 6,613 cancer patients at Prof. Dr. A. Ilhan Özdemir Education and Research Hospital between 2005- 2016. MINITAB 15 package software was used for statistical analysis. Chi-Square test and differences between two ratios significance test were used to calculate the relationship between two nominal (categorical) variables.
Results:
Total 6,613 cancer patient's (3,759 men, 56.8% and 2,854 women, 43.2%) average age is 66.27±17.17. The most frequent types of cancer found among men included prostate (24.4%), bronchus-lung (12.5%) and colorectal (11.15%) cancer; whilst among for women it was breast (26%), thyroid (14.9%) and skin (10.6%) cancer, respectively. Kidney, bronchus-lung, skin, larynx, breast, bladder and thyroid cancer types were determined to be statistically significant according to gender (p<0.05).
Conclusion:
We reviewed the diagnosed cancer cases in Giresun province from 2005 to 2016. For men, the order of the most frequent cancer types mentioned is consistent with the statistics of both the European Union (EU) as well as the United States of America (USA); whereas for women it was consistent with Turkey's own national statistics. However, our findings state that thyroid cancer is the second most common cancer type among Turkish women, this is in contrast to most other parts of the world, the EU and USA.
