TL;DR: Downstaging breast cancer at diagnosis and improving access to quality care could be pivotal in improving breast cancer survival outcomes in Africa.

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.
Cancer in sub-Saharan Africa in 2020: a review of current estimates of the national burden, data gaps, and future needs.

TL;DR: Based on the national estimates built from data provided by cancer registries in sub-Saharan Africa, the authors summarise key patterns of the regional burden and argue for investments in locally produced data.

Incidence of cancer in Nairobi, Kenya (2004-2008).
TL;DR: Although incidence rates cannot be calculated for the early years of the registry, the increase in relative frequency of prostate cancer and declines in frequency of Kaposi sarcoma may indicate underlying trends in the risk of these cancers.

The evolving epidemic of breast cancer in sub-Saharan Africa: Results from the African Cancer Registry Network.
Walburga Yvonne Joko-Fru,Elima Jedy-Agba,Anne Korir,Olufemi Ogunbiyi,Charles Dzamalala,Eric Chokunonga,Henry Wabinga,Shyam Manraj,Anne Finesse,Nontuthuzelo Somdyala,Biying Liu,Paul McGale,Ahmedin Jemal,Freddie Bray,Donald Maxwell Parkin +14 more
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.
