Incidence Rate of Top Ten Cancers among Iraqi in 2023
Abstract
Objective(s): The present study aims at determining the incidence rate of the top ten cancers among Iraqis in 2023.
Methodology: A descriptive, prospective, study is carried throughout the present study to determine the incidence rate of top ten cancers among Iraqis in 2023. convenient sample of (43,062) reported case is included in the study. Such sample is recruited from the records of the Iraqi Council of Cancer Registry Center at the Ministry of Health in Iraq. Incidence rate is computed for each cancer and the reported cases’ demographic characteristics are gathered through the use of demographic data sheet that include age, gender and residency of each reported case.
Results: Analysis of the results depicts that indicate that the incidence rate of cancer is increasing with the age of (70-79) year old. Males develop more bronchus and lung cancer cases and in contrast females develop thyroid cancer cases more than others. The governorate of Erbil has the highest incidence rate of cancers in Iraq 2023.
Conclusion: The study concludes that cancer cases are increasing and so on the incidence rates among Iraqis during the year of 2023 as far as the age is increasing.
Recommendations: The study recommends that the increasing trend of cancer requires further epidemiological studies to describe incidence by other socio-demographic characteristics in Iraq. Further research, in this area, is essential for understanding the causes underlying these trends and their impact more thoroughly.
