Automated summary

This study investigated the spatial patterns of the 10 most prevalent cancers in northeastern Iran. Methods like Getis-Ord G* and Anselin Local Moran's Index were used to identify hotspots and local clusters. The study found that, except for breast cancer, all cancer types were more common in males. Cluster analysis revealed hotspots of breast cancer in the Southwest, skin cancer in the East/Southeast, and brain tumors in the North among men. Among women, hotspots were found for skin cancer in the East and Southeast, and bladder cancer in the Central and East. The study suggests a possible link between the high incidence of certain cancers and environmental factors.
