“…The pattern in north and northwest regions especially Ardabil and Guilan provinces is more similar to eastern Asia with high incidence rate while in southern regions it is the same as south central Asia or north of Africa (Sadjadi et al, 2003;Sadjadi et al, 2007). This implies the priority of implementation of the Comprehensive National Cancer Control Program (CNCCP) to integrate research works, prevention programs and early detection surveillances (Mousavi et al, 2008b;Mousavi et al, 2007). It is important to take into consideration that these screening programs although reduce cancer-related mortality and morbidity through early detection, may not reduce incidence rate of GC.…”

Background & Objectives: Gastric cancer is a leading cause of cancer-related deaths in both sexes in Iran. This study was designed to assess upper GI endoscopic findings among people > 50 years targeted in a mass screening program in a hot-point region. Methods: Based on the pilot results in Guilan Cancer Registry study (GCRS), one of the high point regions for GC -Lashtenesha-was selected. The target population was called mainly using two methods: in rural regions, by house-house direct referral and in urban areas using public media. Upper GI endoscopy was performed by trained endoscopists. All participants underwent biopsies for rapid urea test (RUT) from the antrum and also further biopsies from five defined points of stomach for detection of precancerous lesions. In cases of visible gross lesions, more diagnostic biopsies were taken and submitted for histopathologic evaluation. Results: Of 1,394 initial participants, finally 1,382 persons (702 women, 680 men) with a mean age of 61.7±9.0 years (range: 50-87 years) underwent upper GI endoscopy. H. pylori infection based on the RUT was positive in 66.6%. Gastric adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma of esophagus were detected in seven (0.5%) and one (0.07%) persons, respectively. A remarkable proportion of studied participants were found to have esophageal hiatal hernia (38.4%). Asymptomatic gastric masses found in 1.1% (15) of cases which were mostly located in antrum (33.3%), cardia (20.0%) and prepyloric area (20.0%). Gastric and duodenal ulcers were found in 5.9% (82) and 6.9% (96) of the screened population. Conclusion: Upper endoscopy screening is an effective technique for early detection of GC especially in high risk populations. Further studies are required to evaluate cost effectiveness, cost benefit and mortality and morbidity of this method among high and moderate risk population before recommending this method for the GC surveillance program at the national level.

“…In the last few decades, the incidence and mortality rates of CRC have increased markedly in Iran. 24,25 Most of the studies [26][27][28] on the association between colorectal cancer and dietary patterns were conducted in developed countries. The role of diet on CRC has been considered in terms of single foods and nutrients, but less frequently in terms of dietary patterns in Iran as a developing country.…”

Article type: Original ArticleBackground: Role of diet on colorectal cancer (CRC) has been considered in terms of single foods and nutrients, but less frequently in terms of dietary patterns in Iran. The objective of this study was to determine the association between Iranian dietary patterns and CRC. Methods: This case-control study was conducted in four hospitals in Tabriz City of Iran including 414 participants aged 35-75 years:207 cases with CRC confirmed by pathology and colonoscopy findings were selected and 207 controls free of neoplastic conditions and diet-related chronic diseases (from the same hospital at the same period for the cases). Dietary data were assessed using a 123-item semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire. Two dietary patterns were found by using of Principal Component Analysis (PCA) method;"Healthy pattern"and "Iranian pattern". Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to estimate adjusted odds ratios (OR) for relationship between dietary patterns and colorectal cancer. Results: After adjusting for confounding factors, the Iranian dietary pattern was significantly associated with an increased odds of colorectal cancer (OR= 1.46; 95% Confidenec Interval (CI)=1.05-2.19) while a reduced odds of colorectal cancer was observed with the Healthy dietary pattern (OR=0.18; 95% CI= 0.091-0.47). Conclusion: Iranian dietary pattern (IDP) seems to increase the odds of colorectal cancer and protective effect of Healthy dietary pattern.

“…Current information shows CRC is the third common cancer among Iranian adult males and the forth one among the females (excluding skin malignancies) (Mousavi et al, 2008;Kolahdoozan et al, 2010). Its incidence has been increased during the last 3 decades more than 80% according to recent studies (Yazdizadeh et al, 2005;Dolatkhah et al, 2015).…”
