Abstract
Introduction: Cancer is a very dangerous disease causing a high mortality rate every year. The prevention or reduction of malignant disease required early detection, mainly depending on histological examination as the first step in the diagnosis.Methods: This study was designed to gauge the value of the numbers of histological specimen as an indicator for the level of education to prevent cancer development. Histological specimens of 14670 suspected cases of cancer diseases were histopathologically examined during seven years. Findings: Histopathological examination revealed that 960 patients had a positive result of 38 cancer types, while 13710 patients were clear of any type of cancer. More specimens were received from females, especially in 2014 and the most important organs for diagnosis of cancer, included the gastrointestinal tract (gastro-esophagus, gallbladder, and appendix), skin, lymphoid, and breast.Discussion: Increase the education level about the importance of histopathological examination of any suspected specimens is considered the first step in preventing and controlling the distribution of cancer disease. Some cancer types should receive greater attention in the diagnosis by increased use of the histopathological laboratories.

Cancer is a hard effected name in which constantly threatens the lives of people all over the world
For diagnosis of many cancers, a histopathological examination is obligatory for confirmation, even when other diagnostic methods have failed to discover such types of malignant disease as breast cancer, oral squamous cell carcinoma and many of female genital tract cancers[4,5,6,7]
The examination of histological specimens of 14670 patients with suspected cancer revealed that 960 patients (412 males and 548 females) had a positive result for 38 cancer types, while 13710 patients (5394 males and 8316 females) were cleared from any type of cancer
Summary
Cancer is a hard effected name in which constantly threatens the lives of people all over the world. It can develop into different types of human tissue and at any locations. The histopathological examination is always considered the first step in the detection of cancer disease. For diagnosis of many cancers, a histopathological examination is obligatory for confirmation, even when other diagnostic methods have failed to discover such types of malignant disease as breast cancer, oral squamous cell carcinoma and many of female genital tract cancers[4,5,6,7]. The histopathological examination should be given a full priority by the surgical and clinician teams for detection of cancer
