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.

Subglottic stenosis (SGS) is a significant cause of breathing obstruction in pediatric patients, predominantly acquired due to prolonged endotracheal intubation. The primary aim of this study was to evaluate long-term quality of life in children after Balloon Dilatation for subglottic and tracheal stenosis. This cross-sectional study evaluated pediatric patients with SGS or tracheal stenosis treated with balloon dilatation at a children's medical center in Tehran, Iran, from 2014 to 2021.

Regenerative endodontics utilizes stem cell biology and bioactive materials to restore pulp vitality. Human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs), with their self-renewal and odontogenic differentiation potential, are central to regenerative endodontics. Hydraulic calcium silicate-based cements (HCSCs), such as mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) and Biodentine (Septodont, Saint-Maur-des-Fossés, France), are widely used in vital pulp therapies to promote pulp vitality recovery.

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.
