Pancreatic cancer, a highly fatal malignancy, has shown a global rise in the incidence and mortality rates. However, these rates vary significantly across different regions worldwide. This study aims to assess the incidence and mortality of pancreatic cancer in Saudi Arabia. We collected the data from 16 annual cancer incidence reports in Saudi Arabia for the study period (2005-2020) and from the WHO's IARC Global Cancer Observatory website. Although the burden of pancreatic cancer in Saudi Arabia is relatively lower compared to global rates, the disease incidence has shown a steady increase over the study period, in addition to regional variations within the country. The disease predominantly affects the elderly population, aged 50 years and above in both genders, with males exhibiting higher rates than females. Further studies are required to identify the potential risk factors for pancreatic cancer in the Saudi population.
胰腺癌是一种高度致命的恶性肿瘤，其发病率和死亡率在全球范围内呈上升趋势。然而，这些发病率在全球不同地区存在显著差异。本研究旨在评估沙特阿拉伯的胰腺癌发病率和死亡率。我们收集了沙特阿拉伯 16 份年度癌症发病率报告的数据，研究期间为（2005-2020 年），并从世界卫生组织国际癌症研究机构全球癌症观察站网站收集了数据。尽管与全球水平相比，沙特阿拉伯的胰腺癌负担相对较低，但该疾病的发病率在研究期间呈稳步上升趋势，此外，该国各地区也存在差异。该疾病主要影响 50 岁及以上的老年人群，男性的发病率高于女性。需要进一步研究来确定沙特人群中胰腺癌的潜在风险因素。
