Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 5
Abstract
Objective: Reports on incidence and trends of various cancers in India come from data compiled by National Cancer Registry Program (NCRP) through 29 population based (PBCR) and 29 hospital based cancer registry (HBCR). Despite this, several states in India including Jharkhand does not have either HBCR or PBCR and information regarding incidence and trends of various cancers including cervical cancers is lacking. In the absence of an established cancer registry, data from our institute which is the largest tertiary cancer center of Jharkhand may be important to understand the demographics of cancer in this part of country. Methods: We did this retrospective study to examine the incidence and trends of carcinoma of uterine cervix at our institute Among 520 patients of cancer identified from 2014 till date, carcinoma of uterine cervix comprised of 30.57% of all cancer cases Result: 41.6% of patients belonged to age group of 41-50 years. Majority of patients (33.58%) belonged to stage IIIB (FIGO 2009) followed by stage IVA (24.82%). Highest number of cases (32.85%) were reported from Ranchi district followed by Giridih district of the state.As per the results of our study, cervical cancer comprises approximately one third of all cancers at our institute and mostly present in advanced stage. Conclusion: The data may help in formulation of the health care policy as well as design of well-designed cancer control measures in this part of the country.
