Global Leukemia Trends: Analysis and Indicators

Global Indicators of Leukemia

Abstract

Background: Leukemia is a malignant disease of the blood and bone marrow that leads to cancer and accounts for 2.5% of all other cancers, with a small mortality rate (3.1) among the deaths of other cancers. Objective: This paper discusses the global data on leukemia-related cancer, its analysis and comparison by region, and a discussion of children’s cancer cases of this type, in addition to an Iraqi leukemia patient analysis of white blood cell (WBC) count and hemoglobin (HB) levels before and after cancer collection from laboratories in medical city hospitals. Materials & Methods: Publications collected from the WHO for the year 2022 on the prevalence and mortality of leukemia-related diseases by region were used, with comparisons made and their indicators identified, as illustrated with graphs for each country. The blood parameters (WBC and Hb) of 25 leukemia patients before and after cancer were analyzed via paired sample t tests. Results: The data analysis shows that this type of cancer has the lowest incidence and mortality compared to other cancer types; Oceania has the lowest incidence and mortality, whereas Asia and Europe have the highest. Rates and deaths among children younger than nine years. In childhood deaths, there are two types of leukemia: acute lymphoblastic leukemia, precursor cell lymphoblastic leukemia, and NOS leukemia. The two types are equally likely. Two types, acute and precursor cell lymphoblastic leukemia, were present in a lower percentage of girls than boys, whereas other types were present in higher percentages. prevalence. In 2022, the number of cases of leukemia increased, particularly among Asian men. Conclusion: This paper offers a comprehensive explanation of leukemia by analyzing mortality and prevalence data and providing information on the frequency of this disease in children under ten years of age.
