Abstract
The main obstacle facing cancer preventive strategies worldwide is a lack of well
conducted epidemiological studies to guide local and international efforts for disease
control. In Lebanon, long due political strain has added yet another obstacle to the
development of methodologies aiming to collect data on cancer epidemiology.
However, through several efforts dated from the 1960s the picture is becoming
clearer. We herein review the outcome of all such efforts and their interpretation as
a guide for future preventive strategies.
