TL;DR: This unique global source of childhood cancer incidence will be used for aetiological research and to inform public health policy, potentially contributing towards attaining several targets of the Sustainable Development Goals.

TL;DR: Cancer control in Zimbabwe, as elsewhere in sub‐Saharan Africa, involves meeting the challenge of emerging cancers associated with westernization of lifestyles (large bowel, breast and prostate), while the incidence of cancersassociated with poverty and infection shows little decline, and the residual burden of the AIDS‐associated cancers remains significant.

TL;DR: The most significant change in rates is the striking increase in the incidence of Kaposi's sarcoma in both men and women, compatible with the evolution of the AIDS epidemic in sub‐Saharan Africa.

TL;DR: The AIDS epidemic has had a dramatic effect on the profile of cancer in Zimbabwe, and changes in incidence involve several cancers previously linked to AIDS in North America and Europe.

TL;DR: In the African population in Zimbabwe there are high rates of liver, prostate and cervix cancer, low rates of large‐bowel cancer and breast cancer, but there is not much evidence for an increase in incidence of non‐Hodgkin lymphomas nor, although rates are very high, of cervical cancer.
