Abstract

Abstract

Introduction: This research study provides valuable insights into the distribution of malignancies among different population groups, age groups, genders, and geographical regions. Aim: This study aims to identify differences in cancer cases between adults and pediatric populations, analyze behavior distribution by gender and age group, and assess the prevalence of specific cancer types across different demographics. Methods: The study analyzed data from Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital and Research Center (SKMCH&RC) in 2022, examining cancer cases in adults and pediatric patients, behavior distribution, and analytical proportions. It assessed malignancies by gender and age group, identified top 10 prevalent cancers. Results: The study found that among adult patients, 87.93% had malignant cancers, while in pediatric patients, it was 11.99%. Benign and uncertain cases were prevalent in adults (97.78%), with pediatric cases at 2.21%. Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa had high cancer rates compared to other provinces. The top 10 cancers included breast, colon, rectum & anus, Hodgkin lymphoma, lip & oral cavity, esophagus, prostate, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, leukemia, kidney, and stomach cancer. Most cases were local or regional (23% and 44.3%, respectively), while distant cases were 20.5%, and 11.2% were unknown. Conclusion: This research study provides insights into cancer distribution, guiding prevention and treatment strategies. It highlights the importance of targeted prevention, early detection, and accurate staging. Valuable for policymakers, health professionals, and researchers, advancing cancer control and patient outcomes.
