Keywords:

Introduction: Cancer is a disease characterized by the proliferation of malignant cells. It is a health problem and is one of the leading causes of death globally.
Objective: To characterize patients diagnosed with cancer in a Cuban health area.
Methods: An observational, descriptive, cross-sectional study was carried out in the population diagnosed with cancer belonging to the "Raúl Gómez García" teaching polyclinic, in the town of 10 de Octubre, during the year 2022. The population was composed of 59 patients. All patients diagnosed with cancer with a complete individual medical history were included. Those who did not consent to participate in the research were excluded.
Results: A higher frequency was observed in males (n=33; 55.9 %), in the age group between 61-70 years (n=27; 45.8 %) and arterial hypertension (n=19; 32.2 %) as a personal pathological antecedent. The most common location of primary tumors was the lung (n=21; 35.6 %), followed by prostate cancer (n=16; 27.1 %). The most frequent stages were II (n=25; 42.4 %) and I (n=24; 40.7 %).
Conclusions: The studied population is characterized by the predominance of hypertensive male patients between the sixth and seventh decades of life. Primary lung cancer is the most common; Most patients are alive, active smokers, and have not received surgical treatment.
