Abstract
To evaluate the histopathological spectrum of malignancies and to understand the prevalent trends of various cancers in central part of Tamilnadu. This is a retrospective study in a tertiary care institution, where cases received at the institution during the period of January‐2020 to December‐2022 were reviewed and histopathologically confirmed cases of malignancy were included in the study. A total of 403 cases were included in this study of which majority were in the group of 51‐60 years. Cervix was the commonest site for primary malignancies followed by breast .Squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix was the commonest histological type followed by IDC in the breast. Upper aerodigestive malignancies ranked the third in which squamous cell carcinoma was the commonest type. In spite of many recently developed diagnostic modalities, histopathological examination remains the gold standard for the diagnosis of malignant lesions. Hospital based Cancer Registries should be established to understand the prevalence of various cancers in a demographic area. Periodical studies should be conducted based on cancer statistics to understand the recent trends in cancer. An Experience from a Tertiary Care Facility in Dharmapuri, Tamil Nadu, South India.
