Over the last decade, Lebanon has experienced an increase in the rate of cancer patients. The aim of this study is to investigate the incidence rates of ovarian cancer in Lebanese women over a period of 12 years and to compare them to other countries.
Data were collected from the Lebanese National Cancer Registry for the time period 2005-2016 (inclusive). Data from other countries were retrieved from an online database 'Cancer Incidence in Five Continents'. The age-specific and age-standardised incidence rates (ASIR) were calculated and analysed using Joinpoint regression.
Ovarian cancer ranked seventh among the commonest cancers in Lebanese women in the studied time frame. Approximately 189 new cases were reported every year, with an average age-standardised incidence rate of 7.88 (per 100,000 women). Ovarian cancer showed a significantly decreasing trend in the 12 years of study. Lebanon had one of the highest ASIR for ovarian cancer among regional countries and randomly selected countries.
Lebanon presented a high ASIR for ovarian cancer compared to regional countries, and was placed among the top ASIRs compared to countries worldwide. However, with the decreasing ovarian cancer trends, it is important to implement efficacious awareness in order to detect all OC cases.
在过去十年中，黎巴嫩癌症患者的比例有所上升。本研究的目的是调查黎巴嫩女性在12年期间卵巢癌的发病率，并与其他国家进行比较。
收集了黎巴嫩国家癌症登记处2005 - 2016年（含）期间的数据。其他国家的数据从在线数据库“五大洲癌症发病率”中获取。使用Joinpoint回归计算并分析了年龄特异性和年龄标准化发病率（ASIR）。
在所研究的时间段内，卵巢癌在黎巴嫩女性最常见的癌症中排名第七。每年约报告189例新病例，平均年龄标准化发病率为7.88（每10万名女性）。在12年的研究中，卵巢癌呈显著下降趋势。黎巴嫩在地区国家和随机选择的国家中，卵巢癌的年龄标准化发病率是最高的之一。
与地区国家相比，黎巴嫩卵巢癌的年龄标准化发病率较高，与世界各国相比也处于较高水平。然而，鉴于卵巢癌呈下降趋势，开展有效的宣传以发现所有卵巢癌病例非常重要。
