Journal ArticleDOI

The evolving epidemic of breast cancer in sub-Saharan Africa: Results from the African Cancer Registry Network.

TL;DR: The incidence of BC is increasing rapidly in many parts of Africa; however, the magnitude of these changes differs, highlighting the need for urgent actions across the cancer continuum from in‐depth risk factor studies to provision of adequate therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Up-to-date estimates of breast cancer survival for the years 2000-2004 in 11 European countries: the role of screening and a comparison with data from the United States.

TL;DR: The 5-year relative survival of patients aged 70 and above in the European registries was at least 7 percentage points lower than the 5- years of patients in the same age group in the US in 2000-2004, an observation paralleled by declining mortality.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cancer of childhood in sub-Saharan Africa

TL;DR: The data reported are the most extensive so far available on the incidence of cancer in sub Saharan Africa, and clearly indicate the need for more resources to be devoted to cancer registration, especially in the childhood age range, as part of an overall programme to improve the availability of diagnosis and treatment of this group of cancers.
