Introduction: Cancer is an abnormal growth of a mass or a tissue which is uncoordinated in comparison of normal tissue and it persist in the same excessive manner even after the removal of the stimuli which causes the changes, it is curable, if diagnosed at early stages. Due to its high mortality and morbidity rates, its not wrong to call present era as the era of cancer. It has become a global problem which is affecting the people and causing death throughout the world. There is no previous report available on the frequency and types of cancer occurring in the Rewa region. Hence keeping this thing in mind an attempt has been made in the proposed study to find out the frequency pattern of cancer associated lesions encountered in Rewa division to grow the public health importance of cancer. Material and methods: The proposed study is a retrospective study, performed in the department of pathology, S.S Medical College, Rewa. The study includes malignant tumours which was encountered during 1980 to 1989. These malignant lesions were diagnosed with the help of their histopathological features and after that the analysis of the data was performed with respect of age, sex and site of the cancer lesions of the subjects to seek the relative frequency of these lesions. As this medical institute is biggest in the area and having histopathological facilities in the whole Rewa region. Results: In this proposed study, the highest number of cancer cases in male sex were recorded in sixth decade of life that was having 27.91% followed by Seventh decade having a percentage of 23.7. Most of the cancer cases in male sex were observed between 41 to 70 years of age group. The present study is having a kind of similarity with the observations made in other parts of the country. Conclusion: Because of the absence of the specialized facilities, many cancer cases were referred to other cancer hospitals having specialized facilities from the OPD and by the private practitioners.
