“…(70% of the respondents). This finding supports the idea that ovarian cancer is an age-related disease that usually occurs after menopause as indicated in the study by 36,37 , which demonstrated ovarian cancer incidence is more common in women around the age of 60 years of age and other studies by 38,39 , it indicates that the average range of diagnosis of ovarian cancer among women is between 50 to 79 years…”

Ovarian cancer is the third type of gynecologic cancer in terms of prevalence after cervical and uterine cancer. The disease is known as the silent killer as it is slowly spread without a diagnosis, which leads to the worst prognosis and high mortality rate. Libya shows low disease incidence while the high mortality rate is seen in developed countries due to a lack of proper diagnostic and treatment options. This research aims to understand the various risk factors of ovarian cancer among the women in Libya. A questionnaire is used in a quantitative research methodology using stratified random sample over the population is divided in two classes namely healthy and diseased, based on earlier diagnosis and ovarian cancer care. The diseased and healthy women were targeted in a written survey in different hospitals and clinics in Libya. The data analysis is done in four stages. The first stage is cleaning and coding of the data. The second step is the demographic profile of the respondents. The third stage. Frequency distribution of the data in order to compare the healthy and diseased women. The fourth stage is the linear logistic regression in order to determine the risk factors for ovarian cancer and test the research hypotheses. The logistic regression analysis indicated good fit of the model. The model was able to correctly predicted 81.4 % of the cases which is 19.6 % increase over the null model. The logistic regression analysis was also used to indicate the predictors namely family history, level of obesity, ovulation information, use of birth control and breast feeding unlike awareness, nature of diet which was not predictor in the model.

Aim: Ovarian cancer is one of the most common gynecologic cancers that has the highest mortality rate. Considering the fact that knowledge on the incidence, mortality of ovarian cancer, as well as its risk factors is necessary for planning and preventing complications, this study was conducted with the aim of examining the epidemiology and risk factors of ovarian cancer in the world. Materials and methods: In order to access the articles, Medline, Web of Science Core Collection, and Scopus databases were searched from their start to the year 2018. Full-text, English observational studies that referred to various aspects of ovarian cancer were included in the study. Results: In total, 125 articles that had been published during the years 1925–2018 were entered into the study. Ovarian cancer is the seventh most common cancer among women. Increased risk factors of cancer have led to an upward trend in the incidence of cancer around the world. In 2018, 4.4% of entire cancer-related mortality among women was attributed to ovarian cancer. Although the incidence of cancer is higher among high Human Development Index (HDI) countries, the trend of mortality rate tends to be reversing. Various factors affect the occurrence of ovarian cancer, from which genetic factor are among the most important ones. Pregnancy, lactation, and oral contraceptive pills play a role in reducing the risk of this disease. Conclusion: This study provides significant evidence about ovarian cancer. Considering the heavy burden of ovarian cancer on women's health, preventive measures as well as health education and early detection in high risk groups of women are highly recommended. Although some risk factors cannot be changed, a focus on preventable risk factors may reduce the risk of ovarian cancer. More studies are needed to explore the role of unclear risk factors in ovarian cancer occurrence.

“…This study was an ecologic study in the World for assessing the correlation between HDI and its details (Gross national income (GNI) per capita, average years of schooling and life expectancy at birth) with age-standardized incidence rate (ASIR) and age-standardized mortality rate (ASMR) of PC. Detailed descriptions of the methods used in collection of data about cancer incidence and mortality in GLOBOCAN (Ferlay J et al, 2016), and HDI (Malik, 2013), and Statistical analysis of this study have been provided in previous reports (Arabsalmani et al, 2017;Ghoncheh et al, 2016;Hassanipour-Azgomi et al, 2016;Mohammadian et al, 2017;Mohammadian et al, 2016;Rafiemanesh et al, 2016;Razi et al, 2016;Shuja et al, 2017;Tiyuri et al, 2017).…”

Background: Pancreatic cancer (PC) is as the twelfth most frequent cancer and the seventh most important cause of mortality by reason of cancer in the world. Being informed about the incidence and mortality of this cancer and the potential role of development is useful in health policy. The aim of this research is investigating disparities in the incidence and mortality of PC in the world countries in the year 2012. Methods: This study was an ecologic study in the World for assessing the correlation between Human Development Index (HDI) and its details (Gross national income (GNI) per capita, average years of schooling and life expectancy at birth) with age-standardized incidence rate (ASIR) and age-standardized mortality rate (ASMR) of PC. Results: In total, 337872 new cases of PC occurred in 2012 around the world , that 178116 and 159711 cases take happen in men and women respectively, also at the same year 330391 deaths of PC occurred ,that 173,827 and 156564 cases were in men and women. In assessment the relationship between HDI and ASIR and ASMR of PC there is significant positive correlation equal to 0.767 (p <0.001) between HDI and ASIR of PC, and a significant positive correlation equal to 0.776 (p <0.001) between HDI and ASMR of PC. Conclusion: The incidence and mortality of PC has a significant positive correlation with the Human Development Index.
