AI Article Synopsis
- The Iranian National Population-based Cancer Registry (INPCR) reported on cancer cases for 2014, covering 98% of the population and primarily gathering data from pathology centers and hospitals.
- A total of 112,131 new cancer cases were registered, with a higher incidence in males (53.9%), and the most common cancers included stomach, prostate, and colorectal cancers in men, while breast, colorectal, and stomach cancers were prevalent in women.
- The study concluded that Iran has a medium-risk cancer incidence, noting geographical differences in cancer types compared to global statistics, with higher rates of cancers in specific northern regions.
Article Abstract
Background: We aimed to report, for the first time, the results of the Iranian National Population-based Cancer Registry (INPCR) for the year 2014.
Methods: Total population of Iran in 2014 was 76,639,000. The INPCR covered 30 out of 31 provinces (98% of total population). It registered only cases diagnosed with malignant new primary tumors. The main sources for data collection included pathology center, hospitals as well as death registries. Quality assessment and analysis of data were performed by CanReg-5 software. Age standardized incidence rates (ASR) (per 100,000) were reported at national and subnational levels.
Results: Overall, 112,131 new cancer cases were registered in INPCR in 2014, of which 60,469 (53.9%) were male. The diagnosis of cancer was made by microscopic confirmation in 76,568 cases (68.28%). The ASRs of all cancers were 177.44 and 141.18 in male and female, respectively. Cancers of the stomach (ASR = 21.24), prostate (18.41) and colorectum (16.57) were the most common cancers in men and the top three cancers in women were malignancies of breast (34.53), colorectum (11.86) and stomach (9.44). The ASR of cervix uteri cancer in women was 1.78. Our findings suggested high incidence of cancers of the esophagus, stomach and lung in North/ North West of Iran.
Conclusion: Our results showed that Iran is a medium-risk area for incidence of cancers. We found differences in the most common cancers in Iran comparing to those reported for the World. Our results also suggested geographical diversities in incidence rates of cancers in different subdivisions of Iran.

Objective: Breast cancer is a widely prevalent and life-threatening malignancy that affects women worldwide. The identification of novel molecular markers associated with tumor progression is highly important for enhancing early detection, tailoring treatment approaches, and monitoring therapeutic outcomes. In this study, we investigated the expression patterns of four long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs): USP30 antisense RNA1 (USP30-AS1), ELFN1 antisense RNA1 (ELFN1-AS1), GAS8 antisense RNA1 (GAS8-AS1), and small nucleolar RNA host gene 11 (SNHG11).

Background: The incidence of colorectal cancer (CRC) is rising in Iran, but reports vary across different regions due to diverse methods and data sources. This study aimed to conduct a systematic review and meta analysis to provide an overview of the incidence rate of CRC and its trend among Iranians in various provinces.
Materials And Methods: A comprehensive literature search based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta Analyses checklist was performed using national and international databases for papers published up to December 2023.

Objective: This study reports the authors' experience with surgical interventions for nonsyndromic craniosynostosis. They assessed open surgery and minimally invasive endoscopic suturectomy in terms of periprocedural outcomes and related risk factors for postoperative complications and reoperation. This study aimed to provide insights toward surgical approach decisions and lay the groundwork for future prospective studies in this field.

Background: Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is the most frequent oral cancer worldwide. Despite advances in OSCC treatment, the mortality rate has not decreased in recent years. Therefore, the aim of this investigation was to assess the survival rate as a factor reflecting the quality aspects of care and background parameters that influence survival in patients with OSCC.

Introduction: Due to the high prevalence of asthma worldwide, paying attention to oral health is important. This study explores the relationship between DMFT (decayed, missing, and filled teeth) and asthma, disease duration, and related medications in the Azar cohort population.
Methods And Materials: In this cross-sectional analytical study, the part of the data related to asthma, disease duration, type of medications, and DMFT were extracted from the Azar cohort study.
