IRANCANSURV: A comprehensive analysis of childhood cancer survival in Iran.
Int J Cancer
September 2025
We aimed to assess the 5-year survival probability of childhood cancer in Iran, utilizing data from eight population-based cancer registries across the country. The study employed data from 1809 childhood cancer patients aged 0-14 years, diagnosed between 2014 and 2016. Patients underwent active and passive follow-up procedures, and cases with uncertain vital status were excluded.

- The study examined differences in cancer survival rates across nine provinces in Iran using data from 90,862 adult cancer patients collected between 2015 and 2016.
- The results indicated that survival rates were significantly lower for more treatable cancers in certain provinces, with the highest mortality excess hazard seen in Western Azerbaijan, Kermanshah, and Kerman compared to Tehran.
- Additionally, the findings revealed a correlation between higher Human Development Index (HDI) and better cancer survival rates, highlighting regional inequalities in healthcare access and outcomes in Iran.
Cancer survival is a key indicator for the national cancer control programs. However, survival data in the East Mediterranean region (EMR) are limited. We designed a national cancer survival study based on population-based cancer registries (PBCRs) from nine provinces in Iran.

Methods: Our analysis included 4070 subjects within the IROPICAN (Iran Study of Opium and Cancer) study.
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.
Background: Stage of cancer at diagnosis is one of the most important factors in patient prognosis. By controlling for diagnostic delay, this study aimed to identify factors associated with late-stage breast cancer (BC).
Patients And Methods: From November 2014 to January 2017, required information on 497 patients who were newly diagnosed with BC was obtained from patients' medical records.
Background: Malnutrition, inflammation and poor quality of life are prevalent among hemodialysis (HD) patients. Health-related quality of life is an important determinant of hospitalization and mortality in HD patients.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess the correlation between quality of life and malnutrition-inflammation status according to subjective global assessment (SGA) and malnutrition-inflammation scores (MIS) in HD patients.
