TL;DR: Estimates of cancer incidence in Nigeria based on data from 2 population-based cancer registries that are part of the Nigerian national cancer registry program suggest substantial increase in incidence of breast cancer in recent times and highlights the need for high quality regional cancer Registries in Nigeria.

TL;DR: The percentage of patients with late-stage disease at diagnosis in black Africans decreased over time, but it was still higher around 2010 than it was in white and black women in the USA 40 years previously.

TL;DR: Barriers to cervical cancer screening vary by religious affiliations, and interventions to increase cervical cancer awareness and screening uptake in multicultural and multireligious communities need to take into consideration the varying cultural and religious beliefs.

TL;DR: Overall, cervical cancer incidence has been increasing in SSA and the current high-level advocacy to reduce the burden of cervical cancer needs to be translated into support for prevention (vaccination against human papillomavirus and population-wide screening), with careful monitoring of results through population-based registries.

TL;DR: Information provided by HBCR is beneficial and can be utilized for the improvement of cancer care delivery systems in low and middle income countries where there are no population based cancer registries.
