摘要: This paper provides the first comprehensive population based cancer survival estimates from African continent. Five-year absolute and relative are presented for black white Zimbabwean patients diagnosed with in Harare, Zimbabwe between years 1993 1997. The of among lowest ever reported registries. For most sites, have much higher than Zimbabweans, except lung colorectal cancer, which similarly poor. Race specific comparisons to United States show that lower American gap is broader patients. Access ability pay medical care may be a very important barrier better majority cause low this population.
