Cancer in Iraq: seven years' data from the Baghdad Tumour Registry.

The relative frequency, by age, sex and site, of the malignant tumours notified to the Baghdad Cancer Registry for the period 1976-1982 is presented. The pattern of cancer occurrence resembles that seen in other Middle-Eastern populations in the frequency of respiratory cancer and lymphomas, and the apparent deficit of cervix cancer. Cancer of the urinary bladder is the dominant tumour, the majority being squamous-cell carcinomas, and the occurrence of this type is associated with histological evidence of infection with Schistosoma haematobium. However, the prevalence of schistosome ova in association with bladder cancer is lower than that reported in other endemic areas.

Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency in Iraq.

Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase was tested in the blood of 305 males and 394 females, with Beutler's fluorescent spot test being used for screening. The percentage of deficiency was estimated at 12.4% for males and 8.8% for females of all ages; it was, however, highest among children and lowest among those over 50 years. The efficiency of the fluorescent screening test in detecting heterozygote females was estimated at 35% and was derived by determining gene frequencies and comparing the expected and the observed.
