چکیده :
Background: Cancer is the second leading cause of death in children under the age of 15 in most parts of the world. Each year, approximately 100,000 children die of cancer before the age of 15 and more than 90% of them are in resource-limited countries (1). In Europe and North America, childhood cancers account for less than 0.5% of all incident cases, while this rate increases to 2% in developing countries (2). This systematic review was conducted with the aim of investigating the most common cancer in Iranian children. Methods: This study is a systematic review in which articles published in the last 10 years (2012-2022) were reviewed from Scopus, ISI and PubMed databases. The keywords Prevalence, Pediatric Cancer, Iran and Neoplasm were used for searching. Inclusion criteria: Articles that reported the frequency of cancer in Iranian children (under 18 years old) were included in the study. First, all articles extracted from Scopus, ISI, and PubMed databases were entered into endnote and duplicate articles were removed. In the following, the articles were selected by two authors after preliminary review of the title .Then, with a more detailed review, the final articles that reported the frequency of types of cancer in Iranian children were evaluated. Information such as the name of the author, year and location of the study, sample size and frequency of types of cancers were extracted from the selected final studies. Results: Initially, 518 articles were selected, of which 331 articles were from the Web of Science database and 187 articles were from PubMed and Scopus databases . After the final reviews, 6 articles with 5921 samples were selected. The design of most of the studies is descriptive or cross-sectional and from the cities of Tehran, Ardabil, Babol, Fars, Mashhad, and one study was also from national data registration.The results of extracting the findings of the articles showed that in five studies that reported the frequency of cancer in Iranian children under the age of 17, leukemia was the most common type of cancer .And among the types of leukemia, acute lymphoid leukemia included almost half of the cases .Also, leukemia in boys has a higher prevalence compared to girls. But in a study conducted on children under 1 year of age, the most common cancer was retinoblastoma (44%) and leukemia ranked second. (Table 1) Conclusions: The results of this study showed that the most common cancer in Iranian children was leukemia .But in children under one year, retinoblastoma was the most common. Considering that the number of studies was limited, more research is needed. Key words: Prevalence, Pediatric Cancer, Iran, Neoplasm
