Summary:In this study, we studied cancer pattern among male and females' patients reported to this tertiary care hospital located in this region. Results A total of 4409 cancer cases were reported at our hospital during the years 2017 and 2018, out of which males accounted for 2504 (56.79%) and females for 1905 (43.2%) of cases with male to female ratio of 1.31:1. The possible risk factor for occurrence of breast cancer was contributed by stress in the form of higher education and occupation, late menopause, history of induced abortion, first-degree family history of the disease and body mass index (17). Early marriages, infection with HPV, multiple partners & lack of genital hygiene are some of the contributory factors for the high incidence of this cancer (19).
