“…A comprehensive study was conducted on cancer status in the Occupied Palestinian Territories (OPT) that comprised of the West Bank (including Jerusalem) and the Gaza Strip, which also analyzed cancer status in some other regions and countries of the world. The study found that air pollution, caused by rock industry as well as other kinds of industries, is behind several kinds of cancer [16]. A study was carried out on limestone quarries in India, and found that the high concentration of dust particles generated in the air by the limestone quarrying processes causes vision troubles by workers and inhabitants living in close proximity to the quarrying sites.…”

Significant Statement: Air pollution is a catastrophic problem that affects the lives of people all over the world. This includes the diverse impacts of air pollution on public health, the environment, and ecosystems in general, including the biosphere, hydrosphere, and geosphere. This paper addressed the issue of air pollution in the West Bank, Historic Palestine, and specifically discussed the potential effects of air pollution on the public health of Palestinian communities in the areas of research, and provided the necessary recommendations to reduce those effects.

“…Therefore, the body's cells grow uncontrollably and sometimes spread to other parts; this is a cancer disease. 17 In 2020, the most prevalent cancers in Egypt are breast cancer and then liver cancer, as estimated by cancer statistics in Egypt. In addition, cancer mortality statistics refer to 89 042 cases for all cancer types (high mortality number).…”

“…In 2015, PBTs comprised 7% and 6% of all cancer forms that affected males and females in Palestine respectively. In contrast, the rate of brain cancer as of 2020 was 3.1% for both sexes [ 9 ]. Nevertheless, no such study provided reliable data on the types of these brain tumors, their epidemiology, clinical, anatomical, and histological presentations, and outcomes.…”

Backgrounds Primary brain tumors (PBTs) are uncommon, but they significantly increase the risk of disability and death. There is a deficiency of data concerning the epidemiology and anatomical distribution of PBTs among adults in Palestine. Methods A retrospective descriptive study in which data were collected from the clinical reports of Palestinian patients diagnosed with PBTs at Al-Makassed Hospital during the period (2018–2023). Results In Palestinian adolescents and adults, the incidence rate of PBTs was 3.92 per 100,000 person-years. Glioblastoma (18.8%) was the most common type identified, and it was more common in males. Non-malignant tumors were more common than malignant tumors (2.41 vs. 1.52 per 100,000). The mortality rate from PBTs was 4.8%. The most common initial symptom was headaches, and it occurred more with non-malignant tumors (57.28% vs. 42.72%, p-value < 0.001). Cerebral meninges (26.3%) were the most common location for primary brain tumors (p-value < 0.001). Conclusion This is the first study of primary brain tumor epidemiology in Palestine. The overall incidence of PBTs in Palestinian adolescents and adults was 3.96 per 100,000, which was lower than the incidence rate of primary brain tumors worldwide. More studies on the epidemiology and distribution of PBTs in Palestine are recommended.
