Epidemiological Distribution of Cancer in Sudan in 2007-2008 RICK

Abstract

The following thesis which is about cancer epidemiology in Sudan has been carried out depending on the information collected from Khartoum Radiation and Isotopes Center, Statistic Section during the year 2007 and 2008. The statistical plotting and the correlations revealed certain findings which could be highlighted as follows: During the year 2007, the common cancers in Sudan among males were lymphoma (11.9%), Leukemia (11.6%), and prostate (9.5%) while among females were breast cancer (30.7%) and cervical cancer (10%). And the common cancer type incidences among males during 2008 were Leukemia (11.9%), prostate (10.5%), lymphoma (7.8%) and skin (7.5%), while the common cancer type incidence among Females were breast (30.1%) and cervix (10.8%). The cancer Incidence found to correlated with age increment and fitted to following equation as example where y refers to the age and x refers to the cancer incidence in percent and the common involved ages The cancer incidence ages were as following (2007): In Khartoum state fifty five to sixty years old (10%), sixty to sixty five years old (9.6%). In Aljazeera state the common involved ages with cancer were of sixty to sixty five years old (10.8%), fifty five to sixty five years old (10.6%) In North Sudan State fifty five to sixty five years old (12.1%), sixty to sixty five years old (11.8%), sixty five to seventy years old (11.1%) with an increasing incidence following aging. In White Nile state the common involved ages with cancer were of fifty to fifty five years old (12.2%), fifty five to sixty years old (10.8%) with an increasing incidence following the ageing In Blue Nile state the common involved ages with cancer were of fifty to fifty five years old (12.2%), fifty five to sixty years old (9.8%),In South Sudan State the common involved ages with cancer were of fifty five to sixty years old (13.4%), forty five to fifty years old (11%), In Darfur State the common involved ages with cancer were fifty five to sixty years old (13.6%), forty to forty five years old (10.1%) and the incidence was in direct proportional with ageing. In the East state the involved ages were of forty five to fifty years old (14%), sixty to sixty five years old (13.7%) and fifty fife to sixty years old (11.1%).In Kordofan state the common involved ages were of sixty five to seventy years old (11%) and fifty five to sixty years old (11%) and forty five to fifty years old (10.6%) While in 2008 the cancer incidences versus age were as follows: In Khartoum state the cancer incidences among the age group were predominantly among sixty to sixty five years old (10.6%) and fifty five to sixty years old (10.3%).In Aljazeera state the common involved ages were forty five to fifty years old (11.6%). In North state were of sixty five to seventy (10.9%), forty five to fifty (10.8%), sixty to sixty five years old (10.5%), fifty five to sixty years old (10.2%). In White Nile was among of sixty to sixty five years old (11.8%). In Blue Nile state was among the age group of thirty five to forty years old (10.9%), fifty five to sixty years old (10.5%) and sixty to sixty five years old (10.1%). In south of Sudan the cancer incidence was predominant among the age group of fifty five to sixty years old (17.6%), forty five to fifty years old (13.5%) and fifty to fifty five years old (10.8%). In Darfur state was among the age group of forty to forty five (12%), fifty to sixty (11%). In the Eastern of Sudan it was commoner among the age group of forty five to fifty years old (14.8%) and forty to forty five years old (10.3%). In Korofan the cancer incidence was commoner among the age group of sixty five to seventy years old (11.4%), fifty five to sixty five years old (10.8%), forty five to fifty years old (10.8%). The cancer distribution among Sudanese native based on their races (tribes) showed that: the Predominate cancers among tribes during 2007 are leukemia, breast, cervix, lymphoma prostate, esophagus, Bladder, ovary and nasopharynx. The common cancer incidence among certain tribes in Sudan during 2007 which reveal that the Predominate cancer incidence percent among Algaalya tribes (22.4%), Alshaiyg tribes (11.2%) and aldanagla tribes (9.31%). The common cancer incidence among certain tribes in Sudan during 2008 which reveal that the Predominate cancer incidence percent among Algaalya tribes (22.3%), Alshaiyg tribes (9.4%) and aldanagla tribes (8%).
