The data presented from the population-based cancer registry in Harare, Zimbabwe, represent the first information on the incidence of cancer in Southern Africa for almost 20 years. In the African population in Zimbabwe there are several features in common with other countries in sub-Saharan Africa: high rates of liver, prostate and cervix cancer, low rates of large-bowel cancer and breast cancer. Also, as reported from southern and south-eastern Africa, there are relatively high incidence rates of cancers of the oesophagus, bladder and (in men) lung. The AIDS epidemic has given rise to a striking increase in incidence of Kaposi's sarcoma (now the commonest cancer of African men), but there is not much evidence for an increase in incidence of non-Hodgkin lymphomas nor, although rates are very high, of cervical cancer.
来自津巴布韦哈拉雷基于人群的癌症登记处的数据，代表了近20年来南部非洲癌症发病率的首批信息。在津巴布韦的非洲人群中，有几个特征与撒哈拉以南非洲的其他国家相同：肝癌、前列腺癌和宫颈癌发病率高，大肠癌和乳腺癌发病率低。此外，正如南部和东南部非洲所报告的，食管癌、膀胱癌（男性）和肺癌的发病率相对较高。艾滋病流行导致卡波西肉瘤的发病率显著上升（现在是非洲男性最常见的癌症），但没有太多证据表明非霍奇金淋巴瘤的发病率有所增加，尽管宫颈癌的发病率很高，但也没有增加的迹象。
