Abstract

Background: Neoplasm is one of the common causes of morbidity in adulthood and MALIGNANT NEOPLASM are the second etiology of death among people just after coronary heart diseases. This study was conducted to determine the distribution of BODY MASS INDEX (BMI) and other personal characters at the time of diagnosis of neoplasm and the relation between neoplasm type and its risk factors' in patients who presented at cancer clinics under supervision of Tehran University of Medical Sciences.Material and Methods:A cross-sectional study was performed in 483 patients who presented for the first time at cancer clinics of hospitals which are under supervision of Tehran University of Medical Sciences from March 2003 till March 2004. Data collection were based on interviewing, physical examination and pathologic records.Results: There were 280 (57.97%) female and 203 (42/03%) male. 320 (66.25%) and 163 (33.75%) persons had malignant or BENIGN NEOPLASM respectively. GI tract (24.68%), skin (22.82%) and breast (15.93%) were the most involved organs among MALIGNANT NEOPLASM. The most common BENIGN NEOPLASM were in the breast(26.99%), female genital system (17.79%), GI tract (12.26%) or soft tissue(12.96%) respectively. Among patients with BENIGN NEOPLASM 15.95% had BMI< 20 and 30.67% had BMI>25 respectively. 25.62% and 35.62% of patients with MALIGNANT NEOPLASM had BMI<20 or J3MI>25 respectively. At the time of diagnosis 4.35% of neoplasm were surrounded by capsules, 20.29% had involved lymph nodes and 5.17% had METASTASIS. There were significant statistical relation between neoplasm type and age, sex, BMI, existence of capsule, LYMPHADENOPATHY, METASTASIS, existence of ANOREXIA or WEIGHT LOSS at the time of diagnosis. Conclusion: Despite our results are similar tumor studies', they need to be confirmed by more extensive prospective studies not only at Tehran nut also in the whole country.
