Avoidable Cancer Cases from Tobacco Control Policies in EMR Countries (2025-2050)

2025-2050 projections of avoidable cancer cases due to tobacco control policies in Eastern Mediterranean Region (EMR) countries. The dataset likely contains counts stratified by cancer site for scenarios involving MPOWER measures, affordability, literacy, and combined interventions. It was authored by Saeed Nemati and published on figshare in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Compare the effectiveness of different tobacco control policies (MPOWER, affordability, literacy) based on projected avoidable cancer counts.
• Analyze the distribution of policy impact across different cancer sites mentioned in the description.
• Model the cumulative benefit of combined policy interventions based on the 2025-2050 projection timeframe.
• Assess regional public health priorities in the EMR based on cancer-specific avoidability projections.

Strengths

• Projections cover a 25-year timeframe (2025-2050).
• Scenarios include four distinct policy interventions (MPOWER, affordability, literacy, combined).
• Data is stratified by cancer site, allowing for disease-specific analysis.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is very small (9.5 KB), indicating limited scope or aggregated summary data.
