Prevalence of Leukemia Subtype in the Western Area of Libya: A Focus on Tripoli and Sabratha Cities
Background and aims. Leukemia significantly contributes to the global cancer burden. Research about leukemia types is limited. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the types of leukemia prevalence related to age, gender, and family history in the western area of Libya. Methodology. A cross-sectional study was conducted involving 100 patients who have leukemia. a questionnaire was filled out for each patient. Descriptive statistics for the prevalence of leukemia types were analyzed to assess associating factors including age, gender, and family history. Statistical calculations were performed using the Microsoft Excel Software Version 2010. Results. Of all ages, the highest rate for all leukemia types was age (46 – 65 y) at 29%, however most prevalent leukemia type was CML with 48% of total cases and ALL was the commonest in children (1-10y). Moreover, AML and CLL were the lowest cases. By both genders, male cases were equal to female cases (50% _ 50%). Only 9% of all types have a family history. Conclusion. It is clear, that the most prevalent leukemia type was CML, especially in adults and ALL type was high in children. Only 9% of cases had a family history and by gender the percentage of males to females was equal. Leukemia is a critical cancer that requires further research on associated risk factors.
