The data of the population-based cancer registry in Harare, Zimbabwe, for 1993-1995 are presented and compared with those from 1990-1992. The most significant change in rates is the striking increase in the incidence of Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) in both men and women, compatible with the evolution of the AIDS epidemic in sub-Saharan Africa. The incidence of KS doubled in both sexes and now accounts for 31.1% of registered cancers. It has overtaken breast cancer to become the second most common tumour in African women, after cervical cancer, and is now one of the leading childhood tumours, accounting for 10. 3% of cancers recorded in children (ages 0-14). With the exception of KS, the incidence and pattern of occurrence of the other malignant neoplasms changed little during the observed 6 years.

... Colorectal cancer cases were defined by the International Classification of Disease-Oncology 2nd Edition (ICD-O-2) C18-C20. Code C18 was used for colon cancer and C19-C20 was for rectal cancer (23). The follow-up for cancer incidence and vital status of the cohort participants has been virtually complete because only 56 original participants (<0.1%) were lost to follow-up, likely due to their emigration out of Singapore. ...

... A gender differential in incidence is obvious in the epidemiology of endemic and classical KS where more males are affected [48][49][50][51][52]. The mechanisms responsible for this bias, which is less apparent in EpKS, are unknown. ...
