Investigating the trends of incidence rates of breast cancer in Southern Iran: a population based survey.

Background: The overall incidence of breast cancer is different all over the world and even within a nation. The present study aims to investigate the stratum-specific incidence trends of breast cancer in southern Iran.

Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, the data of Fars Population-Based Cancer Registry was used during 2001-2018.

Cancer incidence in Southern Iran, 2015-2018: A population based study on cancer registry profile of Fars province.

Background And Aims: Cancer registry profiles provide an insight into the trend of cancer in a specific region. The present study aimed to report the cancer incidence in Fars during 2015-2018, based on the cancer registry of Fars province.

Methods: The present population-based study electronically gathered new cancer patient's data from all pathology, radiology, radiotherapy, chemotherapy departments, and mortality data of Fars province.

Investigating Trends of Incidence Rates of Esophageal Cancer Divided by Squamous Cell Carcinoma and Adenocarcinoma in Southern Iran: a 10-Year Experience.

Background: Gastrointestinal cancers account for a significant number of deaths and new cancer cases worldwide. Our aim is to investigate stratum-specific incidence trends of esophageal cancer in southern Iran considering age, gender, and morphological (adenocarcinoma/squamous cell carcinoma) subtypes.

Method: We used data on esophageal cancer incidence in the catchment area of Shiraz Population-Based Cancer Registry.

Incidence Trends of Gastric Cancer in Southern Iran: Adenocarcinoma and Non-cardia Gastric Cancer Are More Rising Among Younger Ages.

Background: Gastric Cancer (GC) is still one of the major causes of cancer mortality. Due to health-related transitions, the epidemiology of GC subtypes may change. These changes may have profound effects on clinical approaches as well as on public health management of GC.

Changing Epidemiology of Common Cancers in Southern Iran, 2007-2010: A Cross Sectional Study.

We have evaluated the ever changing epidemiology of cancers in Fars province, Iran since the re-establishment of Fars cancer registry. Based on the collected data from all related sources in Fars province from 2007-2010 we calculated the cancer age-standardized rates per 100,000 person-years (ASRs). The results are presented as incidence rates of cases by site according to the International Classification of Diseases for Oncology (ICD-O), sex, age, crude rate, and ASRs.

Data coverage of a cancer registry in southern Iran before and after implementation of a population-based reporting system: a 10-year trend study.

Background: Cancer registries help to decrease the burden of cancers by collecting accurate and complete data. We aimed to measure the completeness of coverage of information recorded between 2000 and 2009 in a cancer registry program in Fars province, southern Iran.

Methods: The cancer registry program run by Shiraz University of Medical Sciences was investigated in two periods: pathology-based data from 2000 to 2007 and population-based data from 2007 to 2009.

A school-based intervention to teach 3-4 grades children about healthy heart; the Persian Gulf healthy heart project.

Background: Cardiovascular health promotion in children has the potential to reduce the risk of atherosclerosis in both the individual child and the population at large. It thus seems eminently reasonable to initiate healthful lifestyle training in childhood to promote improved cardiovascular health in adult life.

Aims: To test the hypothesis that a year long, classroom-based education for the third and fourth graders could change their knowledge scores about healthy heart.
