Introduction: Urolithiasis is a health problem that is increasing all over the world as in Algeria, but with scarce local data.
Aim: To determine, for the first time, the epidemiological characteristics of urolithiasis in western Algeria.
Methods: We determined the socio-demographic parameters, the clinical data, and those related to stones of 1104 adult stone formers (2012-2019).
Background: Incidence rates of various cancers are increasing in Arab countries and are expected to reach those of industrialized ones in few decades. This paper aimed to describe the incidence rates of most common cancers--and/or of those cancer preventable through modifiable behaviors--recorded in the province of Setif, Algeria from 1986 through 2010.
Methods: Cancer diagnoses for the 1986-2010 period were provided by the population-based Cancer Registry of Setif, disentangled by site, morphology, age (quinquennia), sex, and calendar period.
