Background. This paper aims to present cancer incidence rates at national and regional level of Egypt, based upon results of National Cancer Registry Program (NCRP). Methods. NCRP stratified Egypt into 3 geographical strata: lower, middle, and upper. One governorate represented each region. Abstractors collected data from medical records of cancer centers, national tertiary care institutions, Health Insurance Organization, Government-Subsidized Treatment Program, and death records. Data entry was online. Incidence rates were calculated at a regional and a national level. Future projection up to 2050 was also calculated. Results. Age-standardized incidence rates per 100,000 were 166.6 (both sexes), 175.9 (males), and 157.0 (females). Commonest sites were liver (23.8%), breast (15.4%), and bladder (6.9%) (both sexes): liver (33.6%) and bladder (10.7%) among men, and breast (32.0%) and liver (13.5%) among women. By 2050, a 3-fold increase in incident cancer relative to 2013 was estimated. Conclusion. These data are the only available cancer rates at national and regional levels of Egypt. The pattern of cancer indicated the increased burden of liver cancer. Breast cancer occupied the second rank. Study of rates of individual sites of cancer might help in giving clues for preventive programs.
背景。本文旨在根据国家癌症登记计划（NCRP）的结果，呈现埃及国家和地区层面的癌症发病率。方法。NCRP将埃及分为3个地理区域：下埃及、中埃及和上埃及。每个区域由一个省代表。数据录入员从癌症中心、国家三级医疗机构、健康保险组织、政府补贴治疗项目的医疗记录以及死亡记录中收集数据。数据录入通过在线方式进行。在区域和国家层面计算发病率。还计算了到2050年的未来预测数据。结果。每10万人的年龄标准化发病率分别为：男女合计166.6、男性175.9、女性157.0。最常见的部位是肝脏（23.8%）、乳腺（15.4%）和膀胱（6.9%）（男女合计）：男性中肝脏（33.6%）和膀胱（10.7%），女性中乳腺（32.0%）和肝脏（13.5%）。预计到2050年，与2013年相比，新发癌症将增加两倍。结论。这些数据是埃及国家和地区层面仅有的癌症发病率数据。癌症模式表明肝癌负担增加。乳腺癌位居第二。对个别癌症部位发病率的研究可能有助于为预防项目提供线索。
