Incidence of Cancers at Radiation and Isotopes Center (RICK) during the period between 2014 - 2015

Abstract

The objectives of the research was to study the incidence of cancers in Radiation and Isotopes Center (RICK) during the period between (2014-2015), to show the most common cancers frequency, to study the incidence of cancers according to age, gender, site of cancer, symptoms, diagnose and treatment, to correlate the findings with age, gender, symptoms, diagnose, treatment. For laying out this research, the researcher collected the statistic information from statistic department in RICK from the patients (600 males and females), the data was analysed using the computer program. The result cleared that the female patients’ frequencywas 317 patients (52.8%) more than males’ frequency was 283patients (47.2%) and their ages between (4-93) years old.The most age group affected by cancer were in age classes were (41-50), (51-60), (61-70). The common cancer frequencieswereBreast cancerwas 78 patients (13%) followed by Lung cancer was 49 patients (8.2%), Ovary cancer 45 patients (7.5%), Mouth cancer 45 patients (7.5%), Liver cancer 41 patients (6.8%), Prostate cancer 35 patients (5.8%), Nasopharynx cancer 31 patients (5.2%), NHL 31 patients (5.2%), Cervix cancer 28 patients (4.7%) and Endometrium27 patients (4.5%) In addition, the results showed that the most common treatment option for cancer was chemotherapy 283 patient (47.2%). The most common diagnostic tool for cancer was Biopsy 335 patient (55.8%).The most common symptom related to cancers was pain 205 patient (34.2%).

The analysis also showed that, there is significant relationship between site of cancer with gender, age, and diagnostic tool(P-value=0.00). As well as there is no significant relationship between site of cancer with treatment option(P-value=0.755), and symptoms(P-value=0.997).
