Also, it has conducted cancer registration and collected information on cancer patients. According to the data collected, survival rates, as well as statistics tables, were calculated.

The 5-yr survival rates for patients admitted to the hospital show an increasing trend for cancer in many sites. Consequently, the overall 5-yr survival rates for patients with malignant neoplasms have risen. They are 36.65% in males and 59.81% in females for patients admitted in the period from 1975 to 1980.
