Sumario:A retrospective study was undertaken to assess cancers in northern Thailand using the Chiang Mai Cancer registry and Maharaj Nakorn Chiang Mai Hospital records from January 2001 to December 2005. Maharaj Nakorn Chiang Mai Hospital is the university hospital for the Faculty of Medicine, Chiang Mai University. There were 4,108 new cancer cases being treated at the institution. The distribution of patients were (a) 32% from Chiang Mai, (b) 42% from nearby provinces of Lampoon, Phayao, and Chiang Rai, (c) 20.4% from other northern provinces, and (d) 1.2% from other parts of Thailand. Based on the data, the most common cancers by relative frequency are cancers of the lung, cervix, liver, breast, and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. The current treatment options used to manage these most common cancers are described in this article.
