A Diversity of Cancer Incidence and Mortality in West Asian Populations

Background: Western Asia comprises a large proportion of the world population with different ethnicities and religions inhabiting areas of diverse geographic features. The countries of this region have experienced rapid economic growth over the latter half of the 20th century, which continues to thi...

Objectives: The aim of this study was to compare the incidence and mortality of cancer in West Asia using the estimates reported by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) in Globocan-2012. Methods: Countries with high-quality data or national data (based on the definition of the Globocan-2012) were included in the analysis. These included Bahrain, Iran, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey. We also found high-quality cancer data from regional <a title="Learn more about Cancer registry" href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/medicine-and-dentistry/cancer-registry">cancer registries</a> in 3 Iranian and 3 Turkish provinces. Data on cancer incidence and mortality were collected and described in tables and graphs. Spearman's correlation test was used to assess the correlation between geographic coordinates and the incidence age-standardized rate (ASR; per 100,000 person-years) of cancers. Findings: Nine countries and 6 regional registries were included. Cancers of the lung (ASR, 33.3), prostate (24.9), bladder (19.1), stomach (16.5), and colorectal (15.9) were the most common malignancies in men. The most common cancers in women were those of the breast (35.4), colorectal (12.1), <a title="Learn more about Thyroid Gland" href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/medicine-and-dentistry/thyroid-gland">thyroid</a> (10.3), stomach (9.2), and lung (6.7). The incidence rates of upper gastrointestinal and lung cancers were considerably higher in the northern part of this region, including Turkey and northern Iran compared with southern countries. High incidences of <a title="Learn more about Breast Cancer" href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/medicine-and-dentistry/breast-cancer">breast, colorectal, prostate, and bladder cancers</a> were found in countries located in the northwest including Jordan, Lebanon, and Turkey. Conclusions: The most common cancers differed by country. Consequently, <a title="Learn more about Cancer Control" href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/medicine-and-dentistry/cancer-control">cancer control</a> programs must be tailored to the most common types of cancers in each country. Lack of high-quality data for some West Asian countries was the major limitation of this study. Therefore, as the first step of cancer control programs, it is recommended that well-structured population-based cancer registries be established in all of these countries.Gholamreza RoshandelMajid BoreiriAlireza SadjadiReza MalekzadehUbiquity PressarticlecancerdiversityincidencemortalityWest AsiaInfectious and parasitic diseasesRC109-216Public aspects of medicineRA1-1270ENAnnals of Global Health, Vol 80, Iss 5, Pp 346-357 (2014)
