Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Iraq, with particular focus on changes observed between the Iraqi Cancer Registry reports of 2016 and 2022. It examines cancer patterns across tumor sites, sexes, age groups, and geographic regions, while connecting registry findings with biological, clinical, epidemiological, and public health interpretations. The book discusses major cancer types in relation to risk factors, diagnosis, treatment implications, prevention priorities, and future research needs within the Iraqi context. It also highlights important gaps in cancer surveillance, molecular profiling, stage distribution, survival outcomes, environmental exposure assessment, and governorate-level analysis. As a national reference, this work aims to support healthcare professionals, researchers, postgraduate students, academic institutions, public health experts, and decision makers in strengthening cancer control, improving oncology care, and promoting evidence-based cancer research in Iraq. It also serves as a first-edition national reference that can be updated periodically as new Iraqi registry, clinical, molecular, and public health data become available.
