According to GLOBOCAN 2022, Qatar reported approximately 1,733 new cancer cases in 2022. Breast cancer was the most common, accounting for 14.3% of cases, followed by colorectal cancer at 10.5% and prostate cancer at 6.4%. The increasing number of cancer diagnoses has led to greater emphasis on advanced treatment options, including immunotherapy and targeted therapies.
Healthcare is a priority for Qatar’s government under its National Vision 2030, which aims to enhance the healthcare system and support medical research. Organizations such as the Qatar Cancer Society and Hamad Medical Corporation (HMC) play vital roles in cancer awareness and patient care. HMC’s National Center for Cancer Care and Research (NCCCR) is a leading facility providing state-of-the-art treatments like chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and clinical trials. The Qatar Cancer Plan 2023–2026 outlines strategic goals to be achieved by 2026, focusing on expanding palliative homecare and advancing precision medicine in cancer treatment. Supported by these initiatives and the rising cancer burden, Qatar’s cancer therapeutics market is projected to grow steadily.
