“…Compared with sajjadi et al (2003 study in this province in years of 1996-1999 that showed increased incidence of cancer, both studies are consistent with statistics of Cancer Registry Nouri nejad and Naghibi et al (2009Naghibi et al ( ,2013 study in Mazandaran province also showed an increasing trend in the incidence of BC among women in this province which is consistent with data from the Cancer Registry. Also a study in different provinces across the country showed that Isfahan has the lowest marriage rate and is located among the provinces which have high incidence of BC while Mazandaran with the highest rate of married people also is located among the risky provinces and Sistan and Baluchestan province with the lowest BMI is located among the provinces with low-risk BC incidence (Abbastabar et al, 2012b). Davari stated the following notes about risk factors of BC incidence in Yazd: "older ages, living in the city, early onset of menarche (under 14 year), late onset of menopause (over 50 years) and family history of cancer are among the most important risk factors and a history of cancer in the uterus and ovaries, thoracic radiotherapy, other side BC and weight over 60 kg are among less important risk factors which has conformity with other countries statistically.…”

of oncology death in women in these countries (Jemal et al., 2011). BC comprises about one-fifth of all female cancers. This cancer is the cause of deaths in high-income countries and the second cause of death in low and middle income countries (Payandeh et al., 2015b). BC is the most common cause of death in middle-aged women AbstractBreast cancer (BC) is the most common cancer in females (27% of the total) and the main cause of death (16%) due to cancer in women in developed and developing countries. Variations in its incidence rate among geographical areas are due to various contributing factors. Since there have been a lack of studies on this topic in our country, the present spatial analysis of breast cancer incidence in Iran in 2009 was conducted using data from the national cancer registry system. The reported incidences of the disease were standardized according to the World Health Organization population and the direct method. Then data was inserted into the GIS software and finally, using the Hot Spot Analysis (Geties-Ord Gi), high-risk areas were drawn. Provinces with incidences 1.96 SD higher or lower than the national average were considered as hot spots or cold spots, at the significance level of 0.05%. In 2009, a total of 7,582 cases of BC occurred in Iran. The annual incidence was 33.2 per hundred thousand people. Our study showed that the highest incidence of BC in women occurred in the central provinces of the country, Tehran, Isfahan, Yazd, Markazi and Fars. The results of hot spots analysis showed that the distribution of high-risk BC was focused in central parts of Iran, especially Isfahan province (p <0.01). The other provinces were not significantly different from the national average. The higher incidence in central provinces may be due to greater exposure to carcinogens in urban areas, a Western lifestyle and high prevalence of other risk factors. Further epidemiological studies about the etiology and early detection of BC are essential.

“…In Iran, although the prevalence of breast disorders is lower in comparison to western countries (Rezaianzadeh et al, 2011), breast cancer is still the most prevalent malignancy among women (Harirchi et al, 2004). During 2001-2006 average incidence of breast malignancies increased from 13.02 to 17.88 in Iran (Abbastabar et al, 2013). After 2004, a significant increase was observed, particularly after menopause, in Fars province, Iran (Mehrabani et al, 2012).…”

Background: Around 200,000 breast disorders are annually diagnosed all over the world. Fibrocystic changes are the most common breast disorder and fibroadenoma is the most prevalent benign breast tumor. The present study aimed to determine the spectrum, type and prevalence of breast masses in women referred to Shiraz University of Medical Sciences between 2004 and 2012 . Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on the diagnostic reports data. Results: A total of 640 samples were studied. Most 57.3% of masses were detected in the left breast, 65%, 28.2% and 6.1% of cases presenting with benign, malignant, and inflammatory lesions, respectively. Among all the samples the most prevalent diagnosis (37.7%) was fibroadenoma and fibrocystic lesions (17%). 174 samples (96% of the malignant cases) were invasive. 6.5% of the benign, and 37% of the malignant cases occurred in post menopause women and the differences were statistically significant. Among those with malignant tumors lymph nodes were involved in 25.6% of menopausal women and 44.2% of non-menopausal ones, and the difference was statistically significant. Conclusions: Regular clinical breast examination beside mammographic follow-ups, especially during menopause, should be carried out as a priority and a national organized program should be designed for screening breast disorders.

“…This Science Publications AJABS disease is diagnosed with the cell abnormal transformation and loss of cell differentiation. Currently, more than 7 million people in the world lose their lives from cancer and it is expected that the number of new cases will receive from 10 million to 15 million per year by 2020 (Azari and Hassanpour, 2006;Abbastabar et al, 2012). In society, cancer is known as incurable disease and after diagnosis; patients suffer from anxiety and depression result from unrealistic fear of death and loss of happiness in society, as the need for frequent hospitalization and continual concern for patients and their families and cause psychological disorders (Bamshad and Safikhani, 2006).…”

Standards of Joint Commission International (JCI) emphasize on the organizational performance level in basic functional domains including patient right, patient care, medical safety and infection control. These standards are focused on two principles: Expectations of the actual organizational performance and assessment of organizational capabilities to provide high quality and safe Health Care Services (HCS). The aim of this study was to analyze the regression model of the Quality of Life (QOL) in cancer patients from Mazandaran province in 2013. This descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out on 185 cases after a chemotherapy treatment session during in the first three months that was referred to Rajaee Chemotherapy Center in 2013. The method of sampling was Purposive. General quality of life was assessed using WHO questionnaire (WHOQOL-BREF) and particular life quality was assessed using researcher-developed questionnaire. Data analysis was consisted of a multiple regression method and for comparison one-sample test of KolmogrovSmirnov was used. Statistical analysis showed that the average of general life quality, particular life quality and total average was evaluated, 1<0.96<5, 1<1.13<5 and 1<1.04<5, respectively. Due to the low quality of general and particular life, fully integration of the care program of patient care in primary health care system, easy access and facilitation in intervention to improve the quality of life is offered. Our motivation behind the research and the implications of the research was improvement of QOL cancer patients.
