Article Synopsis
- Cancer surveillance in Africa is limited, but hospital-based registries can provide crucial local data to inform cancer control policies, as demonstrated by a study at Kamuzu Central Hospital in Malawi.
- The study identified Kaposi sarcoma as the most prevalent cancer in men, cervical cancer in women, and Burkitt lymphoma in children, with significant portions of these cases occurring in patients under the age of 40.
- A high prevalence of HIV (58% in adults and 18% in children) was also found among cancer patients, highlighting the need for better cancer surveillance and management in low- and middle-income countries.
