In a recent article, scientists from GRCGH and partners from Tehran University of Medical Sciences and the International Agency for Research on cancer (IARC) examine recent trends in the major cancer types occurring in Golestan Province, and provide short-term predictions of the future cancer burden. They found the number of new cases of cancer (excluding non-melanoma skin cancer) per year will increase by 61.3% from 2016 to 2025. Although the number of new cases of esophageal cancer is predicted to decrease by 2025, the number of new cases of other major cancer types is predicted to increase over the decade, including cancers of the stomach, colorectum, lung, female breast, and prostate, as well as leukaemia. Changes in the population structure and in risk contributed 37.8% and 23.5%, respectively, to the overall increase in incidence.
