Cancer is the leading cause of increased morbidity and mortality worldwide. This work aims to study the Arab-world females' cancers (AFCs), the similarities and disparities from epidemiological, economic and development-indices points of view.
Descriptive - Analytical review of the 2018 Global Cancer Observatory concerning AFCs. Data on various cancers were compiled and compared among the countries in the regions and the world females' cancers (WFCs).
A total estimate of 227,494 new AFCs; 2.64% of WFCs, with an average crude incidence rate of 111.7* and an age-standardized rate of 134.5*, compared to 228* and 182.6* of WFCs, respectively. Death cases estimated to be 122,903; 2.95% of WFCs, with an average crude mortality rate of 60.3* and age-standardizedrate of 75.4*, compared to 110.2* and 83.1* of WFCs, respectively. Five-year prevalent cases were 530,735; 2.33% of WFCs, with an average proportion of 260.5*, compared to 603.5* of WFCs. Mortality to Incidence Ratio was 0.54 (range 0.36 - 0.80), compared to 0.58, 0.52, 0.49 in the medium human development index, upper-middle-income countries and world countries, respectively. */100,000 population.
Despite the demographic and cultural similarities among the Arab communities, there are apparent disparities in AFCs. A systematic approach is required to address these remarkable differences in cancer ranking and rates among Arab countries themselves and when compared to other world groups and nations.
癌症是全球发病率和死亡率上升的主要原因。本研究旨在从流行病学、经济和发展指数的角度研究阿拉伯世界女性癌症（AFCs）的相似性和差异。
对 2018 年全球癌症观察站关于 AFCs 的描述性分析。对该地区和世界女性癌症（WFCs）各国的各种癌症数据进行了编译和比较。
AFCs 总估计数为 227494 例，占 WFCs 的 2.64%，粗发病率平均为 111.7*，标化率为 134.5*，而 WFCs 分别为 228和 182.6。死亡病例估计为 122903 例，占 WFCs 的 2.95%，粗死亡率平均为 60.3*，标化率为 75.4*，而 WFCs 分别为 110.2和 83.1。五年前的患病率为 530735 例，占 WFCs 的 2.33%，平均比例为 260.5*，而 WFCs 为 603.5*。发病率与死亡率的比值为 0.54（范围为 0.36-0.80），而在中人类发展指数、中上收入国家和世界国家，这一比值分别为 0.58、0.52 和 0.49。*/100000 人口。
尽管阿拉伯社区在人口和文化上存在相似性，但在 AFCs 方面仍存在明显差异。需要采取系统的方法来解决阿拉伯国家本身以及与其他世界群体和国家相比，癌症排名和发病率方面的这些显著差异。
