我们描述了冈比亚国家癌症登记中心的建立和头两年的经验。讨论了在发展中国家设立这样一个登记册所涉及的主要问题。积累的数据显示，与世界上较发达的地区相比，癌症的总体发病率较低，并表明肝癌、宫颈癌和淋巴瘤等癌症的流行很可能是由感染性因素引起的。人们希望为一岁以下的儿童接种乙肝疫苗将大幅降低肝细胞癌的发病率。
We describe the creation, and the first 2 years experience, of the Gambian National Cancer Registry. The major problems involved in the creation of such a registry in a developing country are discussed. The data accumulated show a low overall rate of cancer incidence compared to more developed parts of the world and indicate that the prevalent cancers, hepatoma, carcinoma of the cervix and lymphoma, are likely to be due to infectious agents. It is hoped that immunisation of children under one year against hepatitis B will drastically reduce the incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma.
