Amaç:The aim of the present study was to determine the changes in the incidence of cancer in a city of Turkey, which is in the Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics- 2 (NUTS-2) region, and to perform survival analysis on these patients.Gereç ve Yöntem:The present study is a retrospective cohort study. The data of the patients were obtained from the Ministry of Health's Cancer Registry System. The data of 977 cancer cases diagnosed in 2013-2015 were examined. Bulgular:28.7% of the patients died during the follow-up period. 30% of all cancers originated from the digestive system. While the cancers of lung, stomach, colon, prostate and skin are the mostly seen in the male patients, the cancers of breast, thyroid and skin are the mostly seen in the female patients. The incidence of cancer is increasing over the years and the cancer incidence rate is higher in men. The mean follow-up period was 388 days in died patients and 1541 days in alive patients. The risk of death is increasing in the patients not undergoing surgery (RR = 2.779, HR = 3.048). In addition, the risk of death is decreasing in the patients not receiving chemotherapy (RR = 0.656, HR = 0.340). The risk of death is increasing in the patients with advanced age and the male patients.Sonuç:The incidence of cancer is increasing. It is recommended to conduct longer-term and more broad-based studies evaluating the treatment efficacy and the effects of treatment types on survival.
