4 FOREWARD The Cancer Incidence Report is the fourth publication of the National Cancer Registry. The information in this report is a very important part of the infrastructure which is required in the efforts to reduce the burden of cancer. The registry data will assist researchers studying cancer and authorities involved in the planning of cancer services (epidemiological research, identification of risk factors for use in cancer control, development of screening and prevention programs, planning for diagnostic and treatment services.) The registry continues to be committed to quality data focusing on improving caseascertainment, patient and tumor linkage and editing processes through training and quality control procedures. Throughout the data collection and analysis process, every effort is made to ensure both patient and facility confidentiality. Some changes from the previous reports have been made in the presentation of the data although we have tried to maintain consistency to enable easy comparison of data over the years. Since it is our goal to present this report in a manner that will be easily understood by all, we welcome and, indeed, encourage feedback from readers for consideration in the preparation of future reports. Dr. Shouki Bazarbashi Chairman National Cancer Registry
5 INTRODUCTION This is the fourth report to be published in an effort designed to provide information on cancer incidence in Saudi Arabia. The first of its kind was the 199 Summary Report, the second and the third were the and Incidence Reports respectively, and this one covers cancer Incidence Report for the years It is the objective of the National Cancer Registry of Saudi Arabia to present the data on a period of twothree years now and in a more extended period of time in later years. Data on an extended period of time has advantages of presenting more stable incidence rates and timetrends studies. The structure of this report can be outlined as follows: Part I Materials and Methods This part of the report contains information about the background of the National Cancer Registry and methods used in collecting and analyzing the data. We present the basics of coding and classification of tumor topography, morphology and extent of disease at the time of diagnosis. Also we explain the software program we used to analyze the data. Part II Overview Part II contains figures and tables that show overall cancer incidence in Saudi Arabia for the years We present these figures and tables mainly by sex and in certain areas we have it analyzed by different age groups. There are pie and bar charts representing the age distribution of cancer incidence for the years among Saudis by sex and age groups. We present separate incidence and morphology tables for the most common types of cancers among adults and children. In addition, a bar chart depits the 10 most common types of cancer, by sex, in each of the 1 administrative regions of Saudi Arabia. Part III Incidence of SelectedSites In this part the incidences of selected cancer types among Saudis are outlined in order of relative frequency. A standardized layout presents data for all patients and both sexes where applicable. For each selected site we list the number and the percentage of all newly diagnosed cases for the years 1999 and 2000, the AgeStandardized Incidence Rate (ASR) per 100,000 population for each sex, and the specific cancer rank for both sexes. In addition, we provide (whenever available) international statistics for the specified cancer including the ranking of the cancer worldwide, estimated number of cases for , and areas of the world that have the highest ranking.
6 Part IV Cancer Incidence among nonsaudis In this part we have the incidence cases of cancer among nonsaudis. We present the most common types of cancer among them and the agespecific incidence rates. The age distribution of non Saudis is overrepresented in the 2 agegroup as a result of the nature of the expatriate population. For this reason we have opted to do the analysis separately. Part V Tables of Incidences Part V contains the following detailed tables for all newly diagnosed cancer types among Saudis and nonsaudis for For the years 1999 and 2000 we have separate tables for male and female agedistribution of cancer cases among Saudis agestandardized incidence rate for cancer cases among Saudis by age group (per 100,000 population) For the years 1999 and 2000 we have for each region agestandardized incidence rate and relative frequencies for all cancer cases among Saudis by site and sex For the years 1999 and 2000 we have separate tables for male and female agedistribution of cancer cases among nonsaudis crude incidence rates for cancer cases among nonsaudis by age group (per 100,000 population) Part VI Appendices Reporting hospitals list Includes hospital names in each administrative region. The objective is to receive feedback from hospitals in order to minimize underreporting. Addresss of the National Cancer Registry offices Cancer Registration Form The Data Request Form

13 Background on Saudi Arabia Saudi Arabia is a vast country extending over fourfifths of the Arabian Peninsula. It stretches from the Arabian Gulf in the east to the Red Sea in the west. It is approximately 2,19,00* square kilometers in area. It is divided into 1 administrative regions (Figure 11). Figure 11 Administrative Regions of Saudi Arabia The estimated Saudi National population for year 2000 was 1,88,80**. Of these,800,01 were males and,88, were females. The estimated nonsaudi population in 2000 was,28,09; of these,1,91 were males and 1,,1 females. Figures 12 and 1 shows the Saudi and nonsaudi population pyramids by sex and agegroup. * Source: Demographic and Health Indicators for Countries of the East Meditranian, WHO, Regional Office for the EM, 1999 ** Source: Central Department for Statistics (CDS).

15 National Cancer Registry The National Cancer Registry of Saudi Arabia is a populationbased registry developed in It was established under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Health (MOH) by the Order of His Excellency the Minister of Health. The NCR commenced reporting cancer cases from 01 January 199. Objectives: The primary goal of the NCR is to define the populationbased incidence of cancer in Saudi Arabia. Programs for early detection and cancer screening, as well as cancer research projects are planned for future consideration. Organizational Structure: A Board of Directors was appointed to include representatives from the MOH, King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Center (KFSH&RC), and the Medical Services Departments of the Ministry of Defense and Aviation, Ministry of Interior, the National Guard, King Saud University, King Faisal University, King Abdulaziz University and King Khalid University. The Board is charged with the responsibility of overseeing the NCR s establishment, defining demographic and cancerrelated data to be collected, approving research requests, and reporting findings, as well as disseminating information collected while ensuring the confidentiality of all data reported to the NCR. The NCR Main Office, including administrative and technical staff, is located on the premises of the KFSH&RC in Riyadh. Additionally, five regional branches and three hospitalbased offices were set up to ensure comprehensive data collection from all over the Kingdom Figure 1.

16 Each of these branches and offices are under the supervision of a member of the Board of Directors who is responsible for the daily management of that office and for ensuring the accuracy of information reported to the NCR. In addition to tumor registrars and secretarial staff, each office is provided with the necessary computer facilities, printers, and other office equipment. Functions of the NCR Main office include: compilation of data collected from all the regions and offices merging of all cases to ensure that each case is counted only once verification of diagnosis conducting quality control review of all abstracts submitted preparation of regular reports for dissemination of information to the medical community, government establishment, international organizations and the media. training of staff.

17 Format The format of the current report is similar to the previous reports; however the first part has been extended by adding a section for childhood and adult cancer and morphology of the most common types of childhood and adult cancer. We also report the ten most common cancers for each region and present a comparative bar chart in which we compare age standardized rate (ASR) of cancer incidence among Saudis with other countries. Data management A ministerial decree has categorized cancer as a mandatory notifiable disease. This ensures the opportunity for comprehensive data collection. The NCR strives for full access to cancer data from all MOH, governmental and private hospitals, as well as clinics and laboratories throughout the Kingdom. Cancer data are abstracted from patients medical records based on clinical and/or histopathological diagnosis, by NCRtrained cancer registrars. The data abstract (see appendix E) includes the patient s personal identification (name, ID Number, sex, age), demographic information (address, telephone number, nationality), and tumor details (diagnosis date, primary site, histology, behavior, grade, stage, basis of diagnosis). The primary site (topography) and histology (morphology) of the malignancies are identified and coded according to the International Classification of Diseases for Oncology, 2nd Edition (ICDO2), published by the World Health Organization (WHO), Every effort is made to accurately code patient and tumor information, to ensure that all data can be reviewed, matched, and merged, as appropriate, so that each malignancy is counted only once for statistical analysis. The computer software program used for data entry and incidence tables output is CanReg.21, developed by the International Agency for Research on Cancer, (IARC) Lyon, France. The second part of the report includes the overall cancer incidence in Saudi Arabia and the relevant epidemiological and clinicpathological details for the 1 most common cancers among Saudi nationals for the years of 1999 and A standardized layout is used to present data for all patients and both sexes where applicable. For each cancer site the first paragraph includes the number and the percentage of all newly diagnosed cases for the years 1999 and 2000, the agestandardized incidence rate for each sex (ASR) (per 100,000 population), and the specific cancer rank in comparison to all cancers for both sexes. The second paragraph contains useful international statistics for the specified cancer. It includes the ranking of the cancer worldwide, the estimated number of cases for , and the high incidence areas of the world. The relevant source of this information is World Health Organization. GLOBOCAN 2000: Cancer Incidence Mortality and Prevalence Worldwide. International Agency for research on Cancer (IARC), Lyon,
18 The relevant data incorporate details for all patients presented over the years 1999 and For each cancer there are four figures a line chart, a bar chart, a pie chart and a table outlined as follows: 1. Arithmetic line graphs represent the change in average agespecific incidence rate (AIR) for all age groups at fiveyear intervals. The graphs are plotted by sex, where applicable. 2. Bar charts show regional distribution of ASR for particular cancer across the administrative regions and are given separately for males and females.. Tables list the percentages of the most common histology subtypes for each cancer.. Pie charts show the distribution of the clinical stages of each cancer such as insitu, localized, regional, distant metastasis and unknown.. Tables show comparison of agestandardized incidence rate (ASR) for each cancer type in Saudi Arabia with 2000 ASR estimation in selected countries In reviewing the data and its collection and analysis, two qualifying statements can be made: a. The number of patients presenting with malignant disease from the Riyadh region exceeds the anticipated number per population. The reason for this is that Riyadh has many referral centers providing patients from outside the region with cancerrelated care. Many of these patients fail to provide their permanent address, and instead, provide a temporary Riyadh address. It is anticipated that this situation will be resolved as soon as computerization of identification documents is completed. b. As previously noted, the software used in analyzing this report, CanReg Ver..21, did not enroll insitu cases in the incidence tables. These cases were added to the total cancer cases in the overview. Notification The data used for this report was extracted in January 200. Additional cases diagnosed in 1999 and 2000 may be added later in subsequent incidence reports, which means an increase of the total cases for those two year, which has not been included in the analysis. 18
19 Definitions of Statistical Terms ICD10 The World Health Organization s International Classification of Diseases, tenth edition. ICD02 The World Health Organization s International Classification of Diseases for Oncology, 2nd Edition. Metastasis It is the distant spread of cancer from its original site to other organs of the body, including lymph nodes, skeletal and or visceral organs. Incidence Rate It is defined as the rate at which new event occur in a population. It is calculated as the number of new cases of disease arising in a population over a defined time period, divided by the population at risk of developing that disease. Crude Incidence Rate The crude incidence rate for a cancer site is the total number of cases registered as a proportion of the total population. It denotes the approximate number of cases occurring in each 100,000 individuals. All rates are thus, expressed as per 100,000 population. Cancer rates vary greatly with age and the crude rate is strongly influenced by the demographic structure of the population. Hence, if the population structure changes over time the crude rate over that period may be artificially altered. It is not appropriate to compare crude rates across geographical areas of cancer registries with different population age structures. Therefore, in order to assess time trends in registration data or compare incidence across geographical areas or between registries it is necessary to first standardize the rates with respect to age. Prevalence This reflects the total number of patients with a disease in a specified population at a specified time, including both new and old cases. Relative Frequency This statistic is defined as the number of specific cancer cases registered relative to the total number of all cancer. It is expressed as a percentage. Rank This measure reflects the importance of a specific cancer site relative to other sites, in terms of the number of registrations. Ranking illustrates the most and least frequent cancer sites in a population according to their frequency. Average AgeSpecific Incidence Rate (AIR) The number of cancer cases occurring during a specific period in a population of a specific age and sex group, divided by the number of midyear population of that age and sex group. 19
20 AgeStandardized Rate (ASR) The Agestandardized rate is a summary measure of a rate that a population would have if it had a standard age structure. Standardization is necessary when comparing several populations that differ with respect to age structure. The most frequently used standard population is the World Standard Population (see below). The calculated incidence is known as the World Standardized Incidence Rate. The rate is expressed per 100,000 populations. The World Standard Population Age Class Population Age Class Population ,000 10,000 9,000 8,000 8,000,000,000,000, Total,000,000,000,000,000 2,000 1, ,000 The World Standard Population (Doll et al., 19) 20
21 PART II OVERVIEW OF CANCER 21
22 Cancer in Saudi Arabia The total number of cancer cases reported among Saudis during the years were Fifty two percent (20,2) of the cases were reported among men and 8% (18) among women. In Saudi Arabia, taking into consideration the population structure and the fact that cancer is primarily a disease of the old, the pattern of cancer has some unique characteristics. During this period, 9% of the cases in men and % of the cases in women were found in the above9 agegroup. This agegroup accounts for only.2% of the Saudi population. This signifies that a large proportion of cancer cases in women occur in younger agegroup. If we look at the agegroup between 0 year, we will find that 22% of the cases in women and 12% of the cases in men were found in this group. It can be safely said that Saudi women are affected in early ages more than men and this can be attributed to breast and thyroid cancer (figure 21). 2.2 % Male Female Age Groups Fig. 21 Percentage Distribution of Cancer Incidence among Saudis by Age Group and Sex, Liver NonHodgkin Lymphoma Leukaemia Lung All Ages Breast Thyroid Leukaemia NonHodgkin Lymphoma Colorectal.2 2.

25 Reported Cancer Incidence Cases in Saudi Arabia, Between January 1999 and December 2000, the total number of cancer cases reported to the NCR was 1,8. Overall, cancer was more predominant in men than in women. Cancers affected,1 (1.%) males and,20 (8.%) females, with a male to female ratio of 10:100. Eleven thousand three hundred eighty three (11,8) cases were reported among Saudis,,22 among nonsaudis and 21 are of unknown nationality. Histological and/or cytological diagnosis of malignancy was confirmed in 9.% of the cases. Onesixth percent of the cases were confirmed clinically,.2% radiologically, and 0.% were diagnosed by other methods. The method of diagnosis was unknown for 0.% of the cases. Distribution of Cancer Cases in Saudi Arabia by Nationality and Sex Out of 1,8 cancer cases reported, there were 21 cases of unknown nationality reported to the NCR for 1999 and Since these cases can be included in neither the Saudi category nor in the nonsaudis category, they were excluded from the overall analysis. There were also 8 insitu cases reported during 1999 and 2000 (Table 21). The current software program, CanReg.21, does not include insitu cases in the statistical analysis. The total number of cases excluded from the analysis was 299. Saudis NonSaudis Unknown Nationality Behavior Male Female Total Male Female Total Male Female Total Total Invasive Insitu Total Table 21 Distribution of Cancer Cases in Saudi Arabia by Nationality and Sex, Based on the above, 1, cases were analyzed of which 11,0 (.8%) were Saudis and,22 (22.2%) were nonsaudis. Among the Saudis,,1 (0.%) were male and,1 (9. %) were female. The male to female ratio was 102:100. The crude incidence rate (CIR) of all cancers among the Saudi population was.2/100,000 (./100,000 among males and.8/ 100,000 among females). The overall agestandardized incidence rate (ASR) for all Saudis with a world standard population reference was 2./100,000 (1./100,000 in males and./100,000 in females). For all sites, the agespecific incidence rate (AIR) increased with age for both males and females. After the age of years, the increase was twofold for males compared to females. The mean age at diagnosis was 2 years for men and years for women. The geographic regions with the highest ASR were Riyadh region at 109./100,000, Eastern region at 80./100,000, Najran region at 0./100,000, Qassim region at 0./100,000, and Makkah and Madinah regions at 8./100,000 2

Overall, cancer was more predominant in males than in females. Cancer affected,89 (0.9%) males and,0(9.1%) females, with a ratio of 10:100. Of all cases, there were 10,20 Saudis,,0 nonsaudis and 22 of unknown nationality. As explained above, cases with unknown nationality in this case 210 cases and insitu cases (8) were excluded from the analysis.

32 Childhood Cancers in Saudi Arabia (1 years and under) The total of cases reported among children (01 years as defined by the WHO) between January 1999 and December 2000 was 1,9. This represented 9. % of the total number of cancers in Saudi Arabia. The total reported incidence shows that cancer was more predominant in males than in females. Seven hundred fifty eight (8) (.%) cases were reported among males and (.%) among females, with a male to female ratio of 119:100. Of all the cases reported, there were 1,1 Saudis, 19 nonsaudis and 21 of unknown nationality. Childhood cancer is very important not only because of the age of occurrence, but also because more than % of the Saudi population is under 1 years of age. In addition to this, recent years have shown a breakthrough for the cure of many childhood cancers. Childhood cancers accounted for 10.% of all cancers among Saudis. As explained earlier, 21cases of unknown nationality were excluded from the statistical analysis. Table 2 demonstrates the distribution of childhood cancer cases by nationality and sex.

Among Saudis, 2 (.%) were male and 0(.%) were female. The male to female ratio was 11: 100. The leading cancer among the Saudi children was leukaemia, which accounted for 2.%, followed by Brain (CNS) and Hodgkin s disease. The following is a listing of the ten most common types of cancer among Saudi children in order of relative frequency.
