Abstract :
Background & Objective: Breast cancer is a malignant lesion caused by abnormal changes and growth in breast tissue epithelial cells, including glands, lobules, and larynx. Therefore, the current study's objective was to estimate the incidence of breast and cervical intraepithelial lesions in Iran. This study is based on results from a screening program implemented in the province of Isfahan, Iran. Materials & Methods: Two stages of cancer screening were performed in the study on over 250000 women in 2018. Results: As a result of this study, it was determined that in 2018, there was an incidence of 422 benign breast tumors per 100 000 women (95% CI: 393-450). Also, the incidence of breast cancer was 65 (95% CI: 54-76) per 100 000 women, and that of Cervical intraepithelial lesions was 45 (95% CI: 27-63) per 100 000 women in 2018. Conclusion: This study revealed that breast cancer and cervical intraepithelial lesions are increasing in Isfahan province. Moreover, it was found that screening for these 2 cancers leads to early detection of patients, which results in early treatment and an increase in the 5-year survival rate in these patients.
