“…(Fatima et al, 2011). Risk factors have been detected such as a higher consumption of carbohydrate in Oman (Ali et al, 2013) and cigarette smoking, consumption of mutton and consumption of milk in India. (Balasubramaniam et al, 2013).…”

“…Patients diagnosed of NHL have been the subject of many more epidemiologic studies. Risk factors has been detected such as a higher consumption of carbohydrate in Oman (Ali et al, 2013) and an increase in pesticides usage in Turkey (Yildirim et al, 2013). The latter has been previously estimated as a 3-fold excess risk in India, among other risk factors: cigarette smoking, consumption of mutton and consumption of milk (Balasubramaniam et al, 2013).…”

“…The latter has been previously estimated as a 3-fold excess risk in India, among other risk factors: cigarette smoking, consumption of mutton and consumption of milk (Balasubramaniam et al, 2013). On the other hand, a reduced risk of NHL was associated with coffee consumption in India (50% reduction) (Balasubramaniam et al, 2013) and with a higher educational level and a higher intake of vegetables in Oman (Ali et al, 2013). Finally, the gene expression profiling of NHL has been the main interest of recent studies.…”

Background: Lymphomas represent the fifth most frequent cancer in Lebanon. However, little is known concerning epidemiologic characteristics and distribution of lymphoid neoplasms according to the 2008 WHO classification. Materials and Methods: We conducted a retrospective study of lymphoma cases diagnosed from 2008 till 2012 at Hôtel-Dieu de France University Hospital. Results: A total of 502 new cases of lymphoma were diagnosed at our institution during a five year period: 119 cases (24%) were Hodgkin lymphomas (HL) and 383 cases (76%) were non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHL). HLs were equally distributed in both sexes with a mean age at diagnosis of 30 years. Among NHL, 87% (332 cases) were B cell lymphomas, 9% (34 cases) were T cell lymphomas and 4%(17 cases) were classified as precursor lymphoid neoplasms. Among B cell lymphomas, 44% (147 cases) were diffuse large B cell lymphomas (DLBCL), 20% (65 cases) follicular lymphomas and 8% (27 cases) mantle cell lymphomas. DLBCL were equally distributed in both sexes with a mean age of 58 years. Follicular lymphomas were characterized by a male predominance (57%) and a mean age of 60 years. Mantle cell lymphomas showed a pronounced male predominance (85%) with a mean age of 60 years in men and 70 years in women. Some 72% of patients having T cell lymphomas were men, with a mean age of 57 years in men and 45 years in women, while 65% of patients having precursor lymphoid neoplasms were women with a mean age of 22 years in women and 30 years in men. Conclusions: The lymphoma subtype distribution in Lebanon is unique when compared to other countries from around the world. In fact, Hodgkin and follicular lymphomas are more frequent than in most Far Eastern, European and American countries, while T-cell lymphomas and DLBCL are less frequent.

“…A recent study conducted in Oman showed that obesity, high caloric intake, higher consumption of carbohydrate and protein are associated with increased risk of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, whereas increase intake of vegetables reduced the risk (Ali et al, 2013). Behavioral risk factors, including smoking, unhealthy diets, and physical inactivity are prevalent, and obesity in adults and children has reached an alarming level (Ng et al, 2011;Amin et al, 2014).…”

Background: Cancer is the leading cause of mortality around the world. However, the majority of cancers occur as a result of modifiable risk factors; hence public awareness of cancer risk factors is crucial to reduce the incidence. The objective of this study was to identify the level of public awareness of cancer risk factors among the adult Omani population. Conclusions:The majority of respondents in this study in Oman were not aware of the common risk factors for cancer. It may be possible to reduce the incidence of cancers in Oman by developing strategies to educate the public about these risk factors.
