Objectives : this study aimed to report the incidence and pattern of various types of cancers and their distribution across various demographic groups in Basra, Iraq.

methods: cancer cases recorded during 2017 at the Basra cancer control centre, the department of pathology and forensic medicine, the Basra oncology and hematology centre, the Basra children’s hospital and at private laboratories were included in the study.

patients records were analysed for information related to age, gender, residence and type of cancer.

incidences for different geographical regions and distribution of incidences across age groups were recorded as percentages.

the mean age was recorded for patients of different genders and age groups.

incidence rates per 100,000 were calculated for different types of cancer.

results: a total of 2,163 cancer cases were identified of which 2,020 were in adults(93.4%) and 143 were in children (6.6%).

among adults, most cancers were found in females (59%).

patients’ mean age at diagnosis was 51.4 ± 19.6 years for adults and 6.4 ± 4.23 years for children.

cancer incidence rates per100,000 people increased with age.

the most common types of cancer found in adult males were urinary bladder and lung and bronchus cancers ; leukaemia was the most common cancer in children.
