Abstract
Most cancer cases were in women, and one-third were in individuals with no health insurance cover. The most frequently occurring cancers were skin and prostate for males, and cervical and breast cancer for females, with most cancers being diagnosed in locally advanced stages. Leukaemia was the most common childhood cancer. This hospital-based cancer registry provides important information for the description of the behaviour of cancer in the local setting.
