尼日利亚的癌症负担相当严重，该国每年报告约 10 万例新癌症病例。本研究旨在确定尼日利亚西南部两个主要功能性癌症登记处不同癌症类型的发生水平和分布模式。对拉各斯和伊巴丹癌症登记处 5 年期间（2005-2009 年）不同癌症类型的发生水平和分布模式进行了案头审查。获得的结果显示，2005 年至 2009 年间，拉各斯 (60%) 和伊巴丹 (40%) 癌症登记处共有 5094 名癌症患者登记。乳腺癌占大多数病例（20.2%），其次是宫颈癌（7.9%）、子宫肌瘤（4.4%）、肝癌（4.4%）、胃癌（4.3%）、脑癌（3.9%）、胰腺癌（3.8%）、前列腺癌（3.3%）、肺癌（3.0%）和肾癌（0.7%）。乳腺癌、宫颈癌、前列腺癌、肝癌、卵巢癌与其他癌症的发生水平差异有统计学意义（P≤0.05）。女性多发肝癌（147；77）和骨癌（91；37），男性多发肺癌（89；65）、胃癌（112；109）和肾癌（24；14）。总之，这项研究的结果为尼日利亚西部地区的癌症流行病学提供了见解。这项研究证实了早期的发现，即乳腺癌、前列腺癌、肝癌和宫颈癌占尼日利亚癌症病例的大多数。因此，需要在更广泛的范围内组织合适的方法来早期检测这些疾病。
The burden of cancer in Nigeria is appreciable with about 100,000 new cancer cases been reported in the country each year. This study aimed to determine the level of occurrence and pattern of distribution of different cancer types in two major functional cancer registries in south-western Nigeria. A desk review of the level of occurrence and pattern of distribution of different cancer types in Lagos and Ibadan cancer registries over a 5 year period (2005-2009) was carried out. The results obtained showed a total number of 5094 cancer patients registered between 2005 and 2009 in both Lagos (60%) and Ibadan (40%) cancer registries. Breast cancer accounted for the majority of cases (20.2%), followed by cervical cancer (7.9%), fibroid (4.4%), liver (4.4%), stomach (4.3%), brain (3.9%), pancreas (3.8%), prostate (3.3%), lung (3.0%) and cancer of the kidney (0.7%). There were significant differences (P≤0.05) in the level of occurrence between cancers of the breast, cervix, prostate, liver, ovary and all other cancers. Liver cancer (147; 77) and bone cancer (91; 37) were predominant in females than males while lung cancer (89; 65), stomach cancer (112; 109), and kidney cancer (24; 14) were predominant in males than females. In conclusion the findings of this study provide insights to cancer epidemiology in the western region of Nigeria. This study confirms earlier findings that breast, prostate, liver and cervical cancers account for the majority of cases of cancers in Nigeria. Thus, there is need to organize on a wider scale suitable methods for early detection of these diseases.
