This study aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the cancer burden and trends in Yemen for 2020, including incidence and mortality rates.  \nMethods The current study provides cancer statistics and their trends in Yemen, including incidence and mortality, in 2020 by using descriptive statistics. The data was obtained using the Global Cancer Observatory (GCO) 2020 online database.  \nResults According to the (GCP) database in 2020, the crude incidence rate (CIR) of all cancers in Yemen was 55.2 per 100.000. The age-standardized rate (ASR) was 97.0 per 100. 000, and the cumulative risk (0–74) was 22.0 per 100.000. The age-standardized rate (ASR) was 76.5 per 100. 000, and the cumulative risk (0–74) was 19.6 per 100.000. Furthermore, the crude mortality rate (CIR) of all cancers was 40.6 per 100.000. Breast cancer was most prevalent in Yemen across all age groups and genders (31 . 1%), followed by colorectal cancer (7 . 7%) and leukemia (5 . 7%) . Breast cancer also ranked as the primary cause of mortality at an estimated percentage of 13. 5%, followed by colorectal cancer (8 . 8%) and stomach cancer (7 . 1%) .  \nConclusion Cancer has become a significant life-threatening illness in Yemen with an increase in the disease burden of breast cancer in women. Furthermore, leukemia in children and colorectal cancer in both sexes have experienceda more significant burden as well. Therefore, it is imperative for initiatives for cancer control and prevention to be prioritised at national and regional levels.  \nKeywords GLOBOCAN 2020 database, Cancer statistics, Incidence, Mortality, Yemen  \n*Correspondence:  \nAmran Ibrahim [amran.ibrahimmssodeibrahim@uit.ac. ma](amran.ibrahimmssodeibrahim@uit.ac. ma)  \n1 Department of Epidemiology and Public Health, Faculty of Medicine and Pharmacy, Sidi Mohamed Ben Abdullah University, Fez, Morocco  \n2 Department of Biology, Laboratory of Biology and Health, Faculty of Sciences, Ibn Tofail University, Kénitra, Morocco  \n3 Department of Hematology, Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, Aden University, Aden, Yemen  \nIntroduction  \nCancer is becoming a big problem in developing countries as life expectancy rises [1] . Cancer surveillance is therefore critical for determining where progress is being achieved and where more needs to be done [2] . The global estimates of cancer are built up from estimates of incidence, prevalence, mortality, and survival in each of the national populations through Population-Based Cancer Registries (PBCR) [3] . Although data from Western countries are regularly included in International Association of Cancer Registries (IARC) publications on cancer incidence, this is not the case for Low-and Middle-Income Countries (LMIC), where  \n© The Author(s) 2024.
