Region-specific cancer reports are essential in knowing the common cancers in specific populations. This study reports all cancer types recorded in the major hospitals in the Volta Region of Ghana, a population that is sparsely captured in the national cancer registries. The study identified the common cancers as well as the death rates in the Volta Region, hence contributing to the national effort to report cancer data. Although not comprising all the elements of a cancer registry, our data will augment the effort of the two national cancer registries in Ghana to provide the national cancer reports.
地区特异性癌症报告对于了解特定人群中的常见癌症至关重要。本研究报告了加纳沃尔特地区主要医院记录的所有癌症类型，这些人群在国家癌症登记处的记录较为稀少。该研究确定了沃尔特地区的常见癌症类型和死亡率，从而为国家报告癌症数据的工作做出了贡献。尽管我们的数据并不包含癌症登记处的所有要素，但将补充加纳两个国家癌症登记处的工作，以提供国家癌症报告。
