Synopsis

Breast Cancer in the Middle East: Epidemiology, Risk Factors, and Quality of Life provides a comprehensive exploration of breast cancer awareness, risk factors, epidemiology, and patient outcomes across Middle Eastern countries. It examines disparities in awareness and screening, genetic predispositions, and environmental influences, alongside an in-depth analysis of incidence, prevalence, mortality, and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) based on 2021 data. Additionally, it reviews the quality of life among breast cancer patients and presents a detailed overview of histological subtypes, stages, grades, and survival rates. This book serves as a vital resource for healthcare professionals, researchers, and policymakers working to enhance breast cancer prevention, diagnosis, and care in the region.
