The aim of this study was to present the sites of cancers diagnosed in men and women aged 50 years and above in Cameroon. From the registries of the pathology laboratory of the Yaoundé Central Hospital which at the national level receives the majority of samples sent for histopathology analysis, we recorded all cases of cancers diagnosed in people aged 50 years and above, during the period from 1st January 1987 to 31st August 1996 (9 years 8 months). 1,925 cancers were recorded: -1,005 of these (52.2%) were issued from men aged fifty years and above. These 1,005 cancers came from seventeen sites, the most common being: liver (226 cases = 22.49%), prostate (222 cases = 22.09%), skin (195 cases = 19.40%) and ENT (100 cases = 9.95%); that made 73.93% (above 3/4) of cancers observed in men aged fifty years and above from this study. -920 of these (47.8%) were diagnosed from women aged fifty years and above. These 920 cancers came from twenty-two sites, the most common being: uterine cervix (292 cases = 31.74%), breast (170 cases = 18.48%), skin (111 cases = 12.07%) and liver (90 cases = 9.78%); that made 72.07% (about 3/4) of cancers observed in women aged fifty years and above, from this study.
本研究的目的是呈现喀麦隆50岁及以上男性和女性被诊断出癌症的部位。从雅温得中心医院病理实验室的登记处（该实验室在国家层面接收了大部分送去做组织病理学分析的样本），我们记录了1987年1月1日至1996年8月31日（9年8个月）期间所有50岁及以上人群被诊断出癌症的病例。共记录了1925例癌症：其中1005例（52.2%）来自50岁及以上的男性。这1005例癌症来自17个部位，最常见的是：肝脏（226例 = 22.49%）、前列腺（222例 = 22.09%）、皮肤（195例 = 19.40%）和耳鼻喉（100例 = 9.95%）；这占了本研究中50岁及以上男性所观察到癌症的73.93%（超过3/4）。其中920例（47.8%）是50岁及以上女性被诊断出的。这920例癌症来自22个部位，最常见的是：子宫颈（292例 = 31.74%）、乳房（170例 = 18.48%）、皮肤（111例 = 12.07%）和肝脏（90例 = 9.78%）；这占了本研究中50岁及以上女性所观察到癌症的72.07%（约3/4）。
