Abstract

Background and Aim: Skin cancer is the most common cancer in the world, which is associated with mortality, mortality and health care costs. Planning prevention and control of this cancer, information about its incidence rates and incidence trends is necessary. The present study aimed to determine the incidence rates and trends of skin cancer in Tehran.

Methods: In this cross-sectional study, necessary data were extracted from the Cancer Registry, Ministry of Health and Medical Education between 2003 and 2008. Age - and sex -standardized incidence rates were calculated and the incidence rate trends were determined.

Results: Between 2003 and 2008, 7429 skin cancer cases were recorded, of which 4807 were men and 2622 were women. Skin cancer incidence had an increasing trend in Tehran and its incidence rate has increased from 8.99 in women and 11.52 in men in 2003 to 18.03 in women and 28.16 in men in 2008, respectively. In addition, incidence of skin cancer was increased with aging in both men and women. The incidence rate was higher in men than women.

Conclusion: Skin cancer incidence in Tehran is increasing, which could be due to population aging, environmental risk factors, and changes in life style. More comprehensive research is suggested to investigate the risk factors for this cancer in Tehran.

Abstract
Background and Aim: Skin cancer is the most common cancer in the Iran. The first step in planning for the prevention and treatment of cancers is collecting information about their incidence and trends. The present study aimed to investigate the epidemiology of skin cancer and its trend in southern Iran. Methods: This retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted by analyzing the existing data obtained from the National Cancer Registry System in Iran. The data included all records of skin cancer cases in southern Iran. Then, the incidence rates were standardized using direct method. The data were demonstrated in frequency tables and Cochrane-Armitage test for linear trend was used for evaluation of the incidence trend. Results: Skin cancer had a high incidence in the southern provinces of Iran. A total of 6230 cases of skin cancer during 6 years (2003-2008) were recorded in those provinces and the incidence rate of skin cancer was increasing (P=0.001). In all years of the study, skin cancer incidence was higher in males than women. In terms of frequency, Fars, Khuzestan, Bushehr and Hormozgan provinces had the highest age-standardized incidence. Conclusion: Considering the high incidence of skin cancer and its relationship to sun exposure, educating people on the correct sun protection, educating and empowering physicians and the people about early detection of skin cancers seems to be important in preventing its increasing trend.
