Abstract

The Zimbabwe national cancer registry was established in 1985 as a population-based cancer registry covering Harare city. Cancer is not a notifiable disease, and registration of cases is done by active methods. The registry contributed data on randomly drawn sub-samples of Harare resident cases among 17 common cancer sites or types registered during 1993-1997 from black and white populations. Follow-up was carried out predominantly by active methods with median follow-up ranging from 1-54 months for different cancers. The proportion with histologically verified diagnosis for various cancers ranged from 20-100%; death certificate only (DCO) cases comprised 0-34%; 58-97% of total registered cases were included for survival analysis. Complete follow-up at five years ranged from 94-100%. Five-year age-standardized relative survival rates of selected cancers among both races combined were cervix (42%), breast (68%), Kaposi sarcoma (4%), liver (3%), oesophagus (12%), stomach (20%) and lung (14%). Survival was markedly higher among white than black populations for most cancers with adequate cases. Five-year relative survival by age group was fluctuating, with no definite pattern or trend.

Abstract

The Kampala cancer registry was established in 1954 as a population-based cancer registry, and registration of cases is done by active methods. The registry contributed data on survival for 15 cancer sites or types registered in 1993-1997. For Kaposi sarcoma, only a random sample of the total incident cases was provided for survival study. Follow-up has been carried out predominantly by active methods, with median follow-up ranging from 4-26 months. The proportion with histologically verified diagnosis for various cancers ranged between 36-83%; death certificate only (DCO) cases were negligible; 58-92% of total registered cases were included for survival analysis. Complete follow-up at five years ranged between 47-87% for different cancers. Five-year age-standardized relative survival rates for selected cancers were Kaposi sarcoma (22%), cervix (19%), oesophagus (5%), non-Hodgkin lymphoma (26%), breast (36%) and prostate (46%). None survived beyond 5 years for cancers of the stomach and lung. Five-year relative survival by age group was fluctuating with no definite pattern or trend emerging and no survivors in many age intervals.
