    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Epidemiology
    • Public Health

    Background:

    • The Israel Cancer Registry has collected cancer incidence data since 1960.
    • Cancer patterns in Israel generally align with those in other Westernized nations.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze and report on cancer incidence trends in Israel.
    • To identify specific cancer types and demographic groups with notable incidence patterns.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of data from the Israel Cancer Registry.
    • Examination of cancer incidence rates across different cancer types, genders, and immigrant populations.

    Main Results:

    • Lung cancer is prevalent in males (1 in 7), and breast cancer in females (1 in 4).

  • Key trends include declining stomach cancer, stabilized male lung cancer, and increasing female lung cancer, breast cancer, colorectal cancer, and malignant melanoma.
  • Elevated esophageal cancer in Iranian/Yemeni immigrants and nasopharyngeal cancer in North African immigrants suggest origin-specific patterns.

    • Conclusions:

    • Cancer incidence in Israel shows evolving trends, with some cancers increasing and others decreasing.
    • Certain immigrant populations exhibit distinct cancer incidence profiles, likely reflecting their countries of origin.
    • Continued monitoring by the Israel Cancer Registry is crucial for understanding and addressing cancer epidemiology in the region.
