In its first two years the Addis Ababa City Cancer Registry recorded 4,139 new cancers, 67% in women; breast and cervical cancer led in women, and colorectal cancer and non-Hodgkin lymphoma in men.
Published as "First data from a population based cancer registry in Ethiopia". The Addis Ababa City Cancer Registry, established in September 2011 and then covering just over three million people, actively collected newly diagnosed cases from 22 hospitals, clinics and diagnostic facilities in the capital, and the paper reports incidence for 2012 to 2013.
The first population-based cancer rates for Ethiopia, showing a pattern similar to neighbouring countries apart from colorectal cancer being the commonest cancer in men, which the authors called novel.
