    Abstract Cancer research and clinical trials are essential to improve cancer patients' outcomes and advance the oncology field. The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has been lagging in cancer research with many barriers, including healthcare, institutional, regulatory, patient and community, the global oncology community, and the pharmaceutical industry. In this report, we try to address these challenges from our perspective. Making clinical trials accessible for cancer patients in the UAE requires a collaborative approach from all stakeholders and serious consideration for the greater cause to improve the patient's outcome and contribute to the advancement of the cancer field worldwide. There has been significant support from the UAE government and the regulators in the UAE to facilitate and encourage research in general and cancer research in particular with recent initiatives and international collaborations. Private and public institutions must overcome their competitive moods and work together to strengthen the research network across the UAE and improve accrual for potential clinical trials. Public awareness and education must overcome long-standing perceptions about research and clinical trials in the UAE. The pharmaceutical industry must work closely with institutions across the UAE and support them in establishing accredited research programs and clinical trial units. The Emirates Oncology Society is establishing the Oncology Research Working Group to advocate and advance cancer research in the UAE. All stakeholders must be engaged to successfully implement impactful clinical trials in the UAE and the region.

    Abstract The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has one of the fastest growing economies in the world, which has resulted in an increase in the detection of noncommunicable diseases such as cancer. Despite its screening and early detection efforts falling short of the target coverage of the intended population, the number of reported cases and deaths in UAE has increased over the years. A few studies have been conducted to understand the hurdles to cancer screening in UAE, mostly focusing on breast and colorectal malignancies. There are no studies or surveys that have addressed the barriers and hurdles to overall cancer screening in UAE's population. Through this is the largest survey to date, we aimed at assessing UAE society's perception of cancer and early screening and detection. The survey was constructed using the SurveyPlanet platform. The survey was then distributed on social media for direct and snowball sampling, including Instagram, WhatsApp, LinkedIn, Meta (Facebook), and Twitter. Interestingly, 71.3% of the respondents reported that they were fine mentioning or discussing cancer, while 28.2% reported that they were not comfortable with it. Moreover, 91.8% of the respondents knew the meaning of the early detection or screening of cancer, while 8.2% did not. The ability of respondents to correctly identify different types of cancer screening varied. This study suggests that regulatory authorities need to raise more awareness about cancer, especially among younger generations, and create screening recommendations and guidelines that should include younger people. Lastly, hospitals, cancer charity organizations, educational institutes, and the media should address target audiences to raise cancer awareness among them.

    Abstract The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is one of the fastest growing economies with consequent increase in non-communicable diseases including cancer. The number of reported cases and mortality have been increasing in the UAE over the years, despite screening and early detection efforts which appear to be far from target coverage of the intended population. In this work, we highlight key elements of a proposed national cancer control plan for the UAE. The plan is still a work in progress and has not yet been officially adopted. A comprehensive and effective control plan requires accurate data, a reliable cancer registry, and periodic monitoring and evaluation. The UAE cancer control plan is being prepared in line with the WHO and EMRO framework, with defined objectives and goals. The objectives are to combat cancer, reduce incidence, control mortality, and improve outcomes and quality of life for cancer patients. There is also a focus on improving public health education, prevention, early detection, prompt diagnosis, treatment facilitation, continuity of care, performance evaluation, training of workforce, and research.

    Abstract The increasing cancer burden is a major health concern in Arab countries with cross-regional variations in cancer profiles. Given the limited oncology research output and scarce data on cancer trial participation in the Arab region, this study explored the therapeutic cancer trial landscape in Arab countries over the past 20 years. A bibliometric analysis of the PubMed database was conducted on primary publications of therapeutic trials with a participating Arab center. Arab countries participated in 320 published cancer-related therapeutic trials (2000-2021). During this period, there was a consistent increase in the number of trials, sample size, multiregional site participation, and number of randomized trials. However, most trials were small, did not receive external funding, and included a single Arab site. Compared with Arab-only trials, trials with joint non-Arab sites were larger (
