This study was carried out to know the age and sex distribution and types of cancer they are suffering from. Histologiacally or cytologically confirmed patients or those patients having radiological or clinical evidence of malignancy were included in the study. There were 42.9% male and 57.1% female with male to female ratio of 0.75: 1.00. Female populations of this age group were the most cancer sufferers. Mean age of young adults was 34.47 (SD+/-6.33) years. Muslims (93.4%) were in majority and 36.5% were illiterate. This study revealed that the top five cancers found in both sexes were breast cancer (19.2%), female genital organ cancer (17.7%), GIT cancer (13.5%), head & neck cancer (12.2%) and respiratory tract cancer (7.9%).
