Abstract

Objectives: Cancer is one of the most prevalent diseases in Iran and worldwide. Epidemiological studies indicate a rising incidence of cancer. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical, demographic, and pathobiological findings in cancer patients admitted to Urmia Milad Hospital.

Methods: The records of all patients hospitalized between 2019 and 2023 were reviewed and analyzed. Examined variables included age, gender, pathology and laboratory reports, and primary complaints. The exclusion criteria for the study were incomplete records or insufficient data.

Results: The mean age of female patients was significantly lower than that of male patients. Breast and bladder cancers were the most commonly referred cancers, whereas laryngeal and cervical cancers had the lowest frequency.

Conclusion: The findings of this study indicate that disease patterns, primary complaints, laboratory findings, and pathology characteristics in patients share both similarities and differences with international trends. It should be noted that this single-center study does not provide a comprehensive picture of cancer statistics in the province, though it offers valuable insights into current conditions
