Cancer is a major global and Jordanian health concern, with increasing incidence rates projected to make it the leading cause of death in Jordan. This study aimed to analyze cancer trends among Jordanians from 2012 to 2018 using Jordan Cancer Registry (JCR) data. The study encompassed 59,533 cases, revealing higher prevalence in individuals aged 40 or older, with an overall average crude incidence rate of 94.6 per 100,000 population over seven years. The most prominent cancers in males were lung, bladder, and prostate, while in females, breast and thyroid cancers were prevalent. The study underscores the urgency for effective screening programs to detect common cancers early and reduce morbidity and mortality.
