“…In this study the mean age of women at the time of diagnosis was 48.51±11.81 years and there was no significant difference between 5 intervals of studies, and in the study of Hemminki the mean age of women with breast cancer was 46.3 years (Hemminki et al, 2011). In the study of Fallahzadeh indicated that the mean age at diagnosis was 48.2±11.7 year, similar to other Iranian study such as Afsharfard and Najafi (Afsharfard et al, 2013, Fallahzadeh et al, 2014. The 20-year study of breast cancer in Tehran demonstrated a significant difference for the mean age (47.2, 48.8, 49.2 years) at time intervals respectively (1985-1995, 1996-2000 and 2001-2006) (Harirchi et al, 2010).…”

“…The above order differs from that of previous similar studies performed in Iran, where stomach cancer ranked the first national cause of YLL, and lung cancer ranked the third provincial and the fourth national cause (Naghavi et al, 2009 cancer, diagnosis at the advanced stages of the disease (Harirchi et al, 2005;Miller et al, 2015), and a survival rate of 5years in 70% of cases (Fallahzadeh et al, 2014) have led to higher YLL due to premature death from breast cancer in Yazdi women. Given resource constraints, therefore, the disease can be detected at early stages through training self-examination and screening by trained general physicians (Hassan et al, 2015).…”

Despite achievements in controlling and preventing infectious diseases in recent decades, the incidence of chronic diseases, especially cancer, follows an increasing trend due to aging of populations, changes in lifestyle, increased smoking, immobility, and poor diet, which will double the burden of the disease (Etemadi et al., 2008;Thun et al., 2010;Keyghobadi et al., 2015;Zahedi et al., 2015). Therefore, studies on the incidence of cancer and cancer-induced mortalities in different geographical areas with different cultures can help in identification of factors affecting the incidence of cancer.A total of 14.9 million new cases and 8.2 million deaths from cancer occurred in 2013, and 196.3 million Disability-Adjusted Life Year (DALY) of people's life was lost. Developing countries contribute to 62% of cancer-induced mortalities and 70% of years of life lost (YLL) (Lozano et al., 2012;Fitzmaurice et al., 2015). Cancer is the second and the third cause of death in developed countries and the world, respectively. Despite improved preventive measures and the development of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, it has rised by more AbstractThe number of deaths is often measured to monitor the population health status and priority of health problems. However, number of years of life lost (YLL) is a more appropriate indicator in some cases. We have calculated the YLL of adult cancers and its trend over the past few years in Yazd to provide planners with baseline data. Data obtained from death registration system were used to calculate the YLL, based on each individual's age at death, and the standardized expected YLL method was applied with a discount rate of 0.03, an age weight of 0.04, and a correction factor of 0.165. All data were analyzed and prepared in Epi6 and Excel 2007. A total of 3,850 death records were analyzed. Some 550 patients in Yazd province aged ≥20 die annually due to cancer (male: female ratio 1.3). The average ages at death in lung, CNS, breast cancer and leukemia cases were 68.5, 59, 58.7 and 61, respectively. The age group of 40-59 with 21 % had the highest cancer mortality percentage. Premature cancer deaths have caused 40,753 YLL (5,823 YLL annually). Females lose on average more life years to cancer than do men (11.6 vs 9.8 years). Lung cancer (12.1%), CNS tumors (11.7%) and leukemia (11.4 %) were the leading causes terms of YLL due to all cancers in both sexes. From 2004 to 2010, cancer-caused YLL as a fraction of all YLL increased from 12.8 to 15.2 %. This study can help in the assessment of health care needs and prioritization. Cancer is the major cause of deaths and the trend is increasing. The use of YLLs is a better index for measurement of premature mortality for ranking of diseases than is death counts. Longer periods of observation will make these trends more robust and will help to evaluate and develop, better public health interventions.

“…Breast cancer (BC) is the most prevalent malignancy in women in both developed and less-developed countries [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]. In 2012, 1.67 million new cases were diagnosed worldwide, representing 25% of all cancers [10].…”
