Abstrakt: Introduction: Incidence and mortality rates of non-communicable diseases have increased remarkably both in high as well as middle-income countries. According to International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) 2022 report, new cancer cases are at 20 million while deaths were 9.7 million globally. Materials and Methods:The data collected by Hospital Based Cancer Registry (HBCR) during 2018 to 2022 for five years was analysed. The five year data was analysed on the basis of sex, age group, predominant cancers among males and females and on stage of presentation. The data was also analysed on the basis of district-wise prevalence of the cancer patients. Results:A total of 9630 patients were registered during the five year period of 2018-2022 with males being 56.4% of the total patients. 44% of the respondents were in 60-80 year age group while 39% were in 40-60 year age group. Regarding stage of patients at presentation, 48% were in stage IV while 27% in stage III. It was found that overall lung cancers comprised the maximum cases followed by head and neck, breast cancer, hepatobiliary, genitourinary, hematological etc. in descending order. Conclusion:The results have revealed that lung, head and neck and genitourinary were top three cancers among males while breast, cervix and other gynaecological were top three cancers among females. Further, 75% of the respondents reported at stage III and stage IV of the disease. Although population based cancer registry is not yet set up in this region, the present study data by HBCR proves to be beneficial for future health planning an research. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
