Abstract

As a preventable disease, CC is related to biological factors and geographical and sociodemographic indices. Geographical, cultural, and religious behaviors affect the CC incidence and survival. In Iran, the 5-year survival rate ranges from 34% to 70% among different geographic regions. Hence, effective screening based on cultural and sociodemographic issues is recommended.
