Abstract

AbstractThe Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is the largest country in the gulf region. With the recognized increasing cancer burden globally and locally, plus a young population with increasing life expectancy, challenges to provide optimal healthcare are substantial. Several landmark achievements made KSA a pioneer in regional cancer care over the past half a century. Advances in different aspects of cancer care have been commenced to match the aspired vision of 2030. This chapter describes past, present milestones and models of oncology care in the Kingdom and highlights future challenges and plans to improve cancer care further.
