Core Tip Breast cancer (BC) is the most prolific female cancer worldwide with an estimated 2.08 million new cases and over half a million deaths reported in 2018. The Gulf Cooperation Council countries are a largely under researched region yet have experienced an incline in BC incidence over the past 20 years. The prevalence of obesity and physical inactivity in the Gulf region is significantly high, both of which are known risk factors for BC. A positive correlation between BC and these risk factors in the Middle East is currently inconclusive, highlighting the importance of more research within the Gulf Cooperation Council countries.
