A ten year (January 1986 to December 1995) retrospective analysis of biopsy results of patients seen at Yirga Alem Hospital was conducted. There were 841 histologically certified cancers (410 males and 431 females). The mean and the median ages were 42.1 and 42 years, respectively. Skin and lymphoreticular cancers were the commonest in males while cervical cancer was by far the commonest in females followed by skin, breast and ovarian cancers. In the paediatric age group, soft tissue sarcoma occurred most often followed by retinoblastoma and lymphoma. The results of the study were similar to that of previous studies done in Ethiopia. The biases that might have influenced the results of the study are discussed. A hospital cancer registry is recommended to generate more reliable data.
对伊尔加·阿莱姆医院1986年1月至1995年12月期间就诊患者的活检结果进行了为期十年的回顾性分析。共有841例经组织学证实的癌症患者（男性410例，女性431例）。平均年龄和中位数年龄分别为42.1岁和42岁。皮肤癌和淋巴网状系统癌症在男性中最为常见，而宫颈癌在女性中最为常见，其次是皮肤癌、乳腺癌和卵巢癌。在儿童年龄组中，软组织肉瘤最为常见，其次是视网膜母细胞瘤和淋巴瘤。该研究结果与埃塞俄比亚此前的研究结果相似。讨论了可能影响研究结果的偏差。建议建立医院癌症登记处，以生成更可靠的数据。
