Aims and Objectives: To find out the incidence and the spectrum of anatomical distributions of gastrointestinal and upper airway malignancies.
Materials and Methods: This is a Hospital based prospective observational study carried out in a tertiary hospital over a period of one year. All patients detected to have gastrointestinal and upper airway malignancy by endoscopy were taken up for the study.
Results: A total of 116 patients (92 males and 24 females) were studied. There were 113 patients (90 males and 23 females) with upper gastrointestinal/upper airway malignancies and 3 patients (2 males and 1 female) with lower GI malignancy. The age ranges from 28 years to 85 years. The mean age of the patients was 52.21
