Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the 2nd most common cancer and 3rd most common cause of death in the Middle East and Northern Africa (MENA) region. We aimed to explore CRC stage at diagnosis data from population‐based cancer registries in MENA countries. In 2021, we launched a Global Initiative for Cancer Registry Development (GICR) survey on staging practices and breast and CRC stage distributions in MENA. According to the survey results, population‐based data on TNM stage for CRC were available from six registries in five countries (Kuwait, Morocco, Oman, Türkiye, UAE). The proportion of cases with unknown TNM stage ranged from 14% in Oman to 47% in Casablanca, Morocco. The distribution of CRC cases with known stage showed TNM stage IV proportions of 26–45%, while the proportions of stage I cancers were lowest in Morocco (≤7%), and highest (19%) in Izmir, Türkiye. Summary extent of disease data was available from six additional registries and four additional countries (Algeria, Bahrain, Iraq, Qatar). In summary, the proportions of CRC diagnosed with distant metastases in Oman, Bahrain and UAE were lower than other MENA countries in our study, but higher than in European and the US populations. Harmonising the use of staging systems and focusing stage data collection efforts on major cancers, such as CRC, is needed to monitor and evaluate progress in CRC control in the region.

- Abstract
Objective: We present an approach to obtain accurate and complete data on the last known vital status, and the date of last known vital status of all Kuwaiti cancer patients. These data are essential for robust estimation of population-based cancer survival., Methods: Government-issued Civil ID numbers (IDs) of patients registered during 2000-2013 were obtained from the Kuwait Cancer Registry. Missing IDs were traced using the Ministry of Health's Information System or the patient's medical records. IDs were manually entered in the Public Authority of Civil Information (PACI) database to ascertain vital status for patients whose vital status was not known in the registry. To obtain the date of death for deceased patients, IDs were then manually entered and searched in the electronic archive of "Death Announcements" at the Ministry of Health's Central Records Department of Births and Deaths. Patients not found in the "Death Announcements" archive were considered alive as on 31 December 2015., Results: The traditional method to obtain data on cancer patients' vital status, restricted to patients whose death was certified as due to cancer, had captured only 62% of all patients' deaths. This new approach resolved the vital status for 98.3% of patients for whom it was previously unknown. The impact was substantial: the proportion of patients known to be dead rose from 27.9% to 45.0%, while the proportion presumed alive dropped from 72.1% to 53.7%. Only 1.3% of the patients remained lost to follow-up., Conclusion: This approach substantially improved the quality and completeness of follow-up data for all Kuwaiti cancer patients. We recommend that this approach should be performed routinely in Kuwait to enable accurate estimation and monitoring of population-based survival trends.

- Abstract
Objective: To examine population-based cancer survival trends in Kuwait; to facilitate public assessment of cancer control., Methods: Data were obtained from the Kuwait Cancer Registry for Kuwaiti adults (15-99 years) and children (0-14 years) diagnosed with one of 18 common cancers during 2000-2013 and followed up to 31 December 2014. Net survival was estimated at 1, 3, and 5 years by sex. To control for background mortality, life tables of all-cause mortality in the general population were constructed by single year of age, sex, and calendar year of death ("complete" life tables). Net survival estimates were age-standardised using the International Cancer Survival Standard weights., Results: Cancers with the highest net survival throughout the 14-year period were prostate, breast (women) and rectum in adults, and lymphoma in children. Survival was lowest for liver, pancreas and lung cancer in adults, and brain tumours in children. During 2010-2013, one year survival was over 80% for cancers of the prostate, breast, rectum, cervix and colon. Five-year survival was above 80% only for prostate cancer. For children, one and five-year survival was above 80% only for acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) and lymphoma. Survival was generally higher for women than men, and declined faster in women than men between 1 and 3 years after diagnosis. Differences between boys and girls were small., Conclusion: Cancer survival improved for most Kuwaiti adults and children over the 14-year period, with women generally having a more favourable prognosis than men. Continuous surveillance is required to monitor cancers for which survival did not improve, and to dissect the underlying causes for the differences in survival between Kuwait and other countries.
