Abstract
Introduction: Cancer is the leading cause of death worldwide, accounting for nearly 10 million deaths in 2020, or nearly one in six deaths, cancer predominantly afflicts older people. Routine data collection efforts are a necessary, often undervalued, component of almost all cancer research and prevention efforts. Objective: To go through the most frequent type of cancers, age, sex and address based on the use of canreg5 software in cancer reports according to the population based on the cancer registration program in Maubisse Regional Hospital of the Municipality of Ainaro Timor-Leste from January 1 to December 31, 2023. Methods: a descriptive cross-sectional study design with purposive sampling, all cancer cases were recorded using a CANREG5 software. The total cancer registry was 35 patients. Data analysis uses simple descriptive statistics in the implementation. Results & Discussion: Over 65 years of age is cancer that occurs mostly and has enrollment with 40%. Mostly women with 74.3% and men with 25.7%. Oral or oral cancer is the most common cancer identified with 34.2% and traditional care was predominant with 21 patients, 60% as an optional choice for end-stage patients with cancer identified by the dentist at Maubisse Hospital.
