Cancer in Balochistan, Pakistan, 2020-2022: A Descriptive Study.
This is the first report on regional cancer registration in the country's neglected province of Balochistan. It shows that cancer counts were low from 2020 to 2022. However, we can use the information recorded as the foundation to evaluate the statistics over time to see if any changes are recorded. We also need to increase awareness among the stakeholders about the impact of cancer surveillance in the region.
