Total and Partial Prevalence of Cancer Across Kerman Province , Iran , in 2014 , Using an Adapted Generalized Network Scale-Up Method . Due to the lack of nationwide population-based cancer registration , the total cancer prevalence in Iran is unknown . Our previous work in which we used a basic network scale-up ( NSU ) method , failed to provide plausible estimates of total cancer prevalence in Kerman . The aim of the present study was to estimate total and partial prevalence of cancer in southeastern Iran using an adapted version of the generalized network scale-up method . A survey was conducted in 2014 using multi-stage cluster sampling . A total of 1995 face-to-face gender-matched interviews were performed based on an adapted version of the NSU questionnaire . Interviewees were asked about their family cancer history . Total and partial prevalence were estimated using a generalized NSU estimator . The Monte Carlo method was adopted for the estimation of upper/lower bounds of the uncertainty range of point estimates . One-yr , 2-3 yr , and 4-5 yr prevalence ( per 100,000 people ) was respectively estimated at 78 ( 95 % CI , 66 , 90 ) , 128 ( 95 % CI , 118 , 147 ) , and 59 ( 95 % CI , 49 , 70 ) for women , and 48 ( 95 % CI , 38 , 58 ) , 78 ( 95 % CI , 66 , 91 ) , and 42 ( 95 % CI , 32 , 52 ) for men . The 5-yr prevalence of all cancers was estimated at 0.18 percent for men , and 0.27 percent for women . This study showed that the generalized familial network scale-up method is capable of estimating cancer prevalence , with acceptable precision .
