RESUMEN

Pancreatic cancer is one of the deadliest cancers with short-term survival rates. Trends for pancreatic cancer incidence and mortality varied considerably in the world. To date, the causes of pancreatic cancer are not known sufficiently, although certain risk factors have been identified such as, smoking, obesity, life style, diabetes mellitus, alcohol, dietary factors and chronic pancreatitis. Since there are no current screening recommendations for pancreatic cancer, primary prevention is very important. Therefore, up-to-date statistics on pancreatic cancer occurrence and outcome are essential for the primary prevention of this disease. Due to the lack of information on epidemiology of pancreatic cancer in most Asian countries, and limited of statistics and registration system in this area, we conducted a systematic review study to evaluate the most recent data concerning epidemiology of pancreatic cancer in Asia-Pacific region. In this review we focused on collected recent data on incidence, mortality, survival and risk factors of pancreatic cancer in this region. In addition, we reviewed and used the data of GLOBOCAN 2012 in this paper to complete the information as a source of compiling pancreatic cancer incidence and mortality rate

RESUMEN

Cancer is the third most common cause of death in Iran, the leukemia cancer is one of the most important causes of cancer mortality. Regarding cancer mortality, data would be important to monitor the program screening effects, earlier diagnosis, demographic data and other prognostic factors. The aim of this study was mortality rates evaluating, then leukemia cancer trends among the Iranian population within almost a period of a decade, i.e. from 1995 to 2004. National death Statistic Reported by Ministry of Health and Medical Education [MOH and ME] from 1995 to 2004, stratified by age group, sex, and cause of death, have included in this study. Leukemia cancer has expressed as the annual mortality rates/100,000, in general, and/or per gender, and age group. The general mortality rate of leukemia cancer has slightly increased within the mentioned study period, from 0.44 to 2.54, then leukemia cancer mortality has often seen in men more than women. The mortality rate of leukemia has significantly increased throughout Iran. Associated risk factors with leukemia have headmost identified for their prevention and control. So, future studies to reveal leukemia risk factors among the Iranian population would be crucial in order to control its burden
