The records of 465 patients admitted, or having biopsy, for malignant disease in one hospital over the 14 year period 1954-67, have been reviewed. Relative frequencies for different sites have been calculated and details recorded. The records of patients from Ilesha township, with a known population, were used to calculate incidence figures for the commonest tumours. Comparisons have been made with figures published from other West African hospitals. Carcinoma of stomach was the commonest form of cancer. A plea is made for more such surveys in West African district hospitals.
对一家医院在1954年至1967年这14年间收治的或接受活检的465例恶性疾病患者的记录进行了回顾。计算了不同部位的相对频率并记录了详细信息。利用伊莱沙镇已知人口的患者记录来计算最常见肿瘤的发病率。已与其他西非医院公布的数据进行了比较。胃癌是最常见的癌症形式。呼吁在西非地区医院开展更多此类调查。
