title: [Cancer incidence in a Cancer Care Unit of the Mexican Social Security Institute (IMSS) in Toluca, Mexico].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  In 2000, malignant tumors were responsible for 12% of nearly 56 million deaths that occurred in the world from all causes.
  
  
  OBJECTIVE
  To determine the incidence of cancer in a Cancer Care Unit of IMSS in Toluca, Mexico.
  
  
  METHODS
  Prospective cross-sectional study; we identified the primary tumor, age, family history of cancer, comorbidities, risk factors, and ECOG in patients with newly diagnosed cancer.
  
  
  RESULTS
  We identified 446 cases, 66.1% were women. The age group of age 50 to 59 had the highest number of cases (98). The most common cancers in women are breast, cervical, and ovarian cancer, and in men, testicular, prostate, and colorectal cancer.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The most common cancers in both sexes were breast cancer, cervical cancer, colorectal cancer, ovarian cancer, and testicular cancer.
