Background: Cancer is an important public health concern worldwide. Globally, 14.1 million new cancer cases and 8.2 million deaths occurred in 2012. In recent years, there has been an increasing concern to prevent cancer in low income countries including Ethiopia. However, evidences showed that cancer morbidity is alarmingly increasing. This study was conducted to assess the trend and pattern of cancer morbidity in Tigray regional state, Ethiopia. Methods: Retrospective data scanning and analysis was conducted using Electronic Health Management Information System data base from 2011/2012-2016/2017 in Tigray Regional Health Bureau. Data were filtered in Excelsheet and exported to SPSS version 21 for statistical analysis. Finally, descriptive statistics were used to display the results using line and bar graph. Results: Out of the total 4630 diagnosed cancer cases, 2943 (63.6%) were female and 4136 (89.3%) were diagnosed in adults greater than 14 years of age. Unspecified malignant neoplasm, breast cancer, and lymphoma are the three top diagnosed cancer types in all age groups respectively. The trend of cancer morbidity increased by 2.6% in 2016/2017 when compared with 2011/2012. Conclusion: Cancer has been increasingly a major public health problem in Tigray. Therefore, there is a need of paradigm shift for preventing and controlling cancer in line with infectious disease control and prevention at community level. Similarly, it should be a cross cutting issue in all government and non-government sectors. Finally, further comprehensive study also needed to get further evidenced based information for redesigning program planning and implementation.
