ABSTRACT
Between January and december 1989, 541 new cases of cancer have been diagnosed at Hotel-Dieu de France Hospital at Beirut. These cases were among 5400 histopathologic or hemato-cytologic examinations performed during the same period. There were 311 men [57,5%] and 230 women [42,5%]. In men lung cancer was the most common site [19%] followed by bladder cancer [16,7%] and prostate cancer [11,6%]. In women the most frequent cancer reported was breast cancer [36,1%] followed by uterine [body and cervix] cancer [15,2%] and digestive tract tumors [12,3%]. Hematologic malignancies were more frequent between children and young patients. We have noted a progressive frequency of breast, lung, digestive tract, bladder and genito-urinary Cancers with age The establishment of a national tumor registry covering all diagnosed patients in different Lebanese Institutions is warranted
