Description
Summary:Abstract Introduction Cancer is an eminent public health issue in the developing countries. The risk factors incriminated in cancer higher incidence are multiple such as the growing population rates, increasing tobacco consumption, the changes of diet and lifestyle. In Tunisia, there are three population-based cancer registries at the present time providing data on cancer incidence and survival. According to the data published by WHO International Agency for Research on Cancer (IACR) (GLOBOCAN 2018), prostate cancer in Tunisia ranks fifth among cancers with almost 819 new cases per year. The aim of this study was to we report trends in the cancer incidence during the span of time between 2002 and 2013 from the population-based cancer registry of the centre of Tunisia, and to predict the future number of cancer cases by 2030. Methods The cancer incidence data were collected from the Center cancer registries from 2003 to 2012.The data were stratified by cancer site, sex and age. We used SPSS software in order to calculate the crude incidence rates and age-standardized incidence rates. SPSS software was used in order to estimate the future number of cancer cases by 2030. Results A total of 725 cases of prostate cancer were enregistrated. The mean age of patients was 71.6 ±10.61years. The crude incidence rates were estimated 23.537. The standardized incidence rate was 33.92. A significant positive trend was noted with a b = 0133 and p
