Abstract (English): Background: Cancer is one of the leading causes of death in the world. In Mexico, its incidence has increased, and differences have been reported regarding the regions of the country. Objective: To study the epidemiology of malignant neoplasms diagnosed in the Pathology department of a hospital in eastern Mexico. Material and methods: We studied the different cancer types diagnosed in Pathology of the Hospital Centro Médico Nacional “General de División Manuel Ávila Camacho” during 2019. Results: In the region, women were more affected than men, presenting more cases. In the total population, we found a high proportion of breast and skin cancers and a decreased proportion of lung cancer, both compared with Mexico and the world (2020). In men, we found a decreased prostate cancer proportion compared to Mexico. We also observed a high proportion of skin cancer (higher than Mexico and the world) and a high percentage of higher digestive system cases, compared to Mexico. For women, we found a high percentage of breast and skin cancers compared to Mexico and the world; and a decreased percentage of cervical cancer when compared to data from Mexico. Conclusions: Knowing cancer epidemiology in the regions of Mexico can help implement cancer control, screening activities and to provide a timely treatment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
Abstract (Spanish): Introducción: el cáncer es una de las principales causas de muerte en el mundo. En México, la incidencia ha aumentado y se han reportado diferencias importantes entre las regiones del país. Objetivo: estudiar la epidemiología de las neoplasias malignas diagnosticadas en el servicio de Patología de un Hospital del oriente de México. Material y métodos: se estudió la proporción de los tipos de cáncer diagnosticados en Patología en el Hospital de Especialidades del Centro Médico Nacional (CMN) “General de División Manuel Ávila Camacho” durante el 2019. Resultados: en la región estudiada las mujeres fueron más afectadas, presentando un mayor número de casos que los hombres. En la población total, se encontró un alto porcentaje de cáncer de mama y piel y una baja proporción de casos en pulmón, ambas comparadas con México y el mundo (2020). En hombres, se encontró una menor proporción de cáncer de próstata que lo reportado en el país, una alta proporción de casos malignos en piel (más altas que en México y el mundo) y un alto porcentaje de casos de cáncer en tubo digestivo alto comparado con México. En mujeres, se encontró un alto porcentaje de cáncer de mama y piel, mayores a las cifras en México y el mundo y un bajo porcentaje de casos de cérvix comparadas con las cifras en México. Conclusiones: el conocer la epidemiología del cáncer en las regiones de nuestro país ayudará a implementar medidas de control, tamizaje y lograr tratamientos oportunos. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
