Epidemiology of Soft Tissue Sarcoma in Iran: Four-Year National Cancer Registry Data Report (2014-2017).

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

An uncommon and diverse class of cancers originating from mesenchymal tissues is designated as soft tissue sarcoma (STS). To develop effective preventive and treatment strategies for STS, it is essential to gain a deeper understanding of the epidemiological trends associated with the disease. This research will analyze the 4-year age-standardized incidence rate (ASIR) and geographical distribution of STS in Iran in great detail.

Methods

The study population comprised 4968 cases of STS recorded in the Cancer Registry System between 2014 and 2017. The demographic data examined included gender, place of residence, and year of diagnosis. The age-standardized rate (ASR) of STS incidence was calculated for each location using the World Standard Population. The data we
