Gastric cancer in Sub-Saharan Africa - a systematic review of primary data
CONCLUSION: This systemic review demonstrates that GC incidence is highly variable across SSA. The limited data on GC treatment, mortality, and survival presents a significant challenge to providing a complete epidemiologic description of the burden of GC in SSA. There is a need for further robust data collection, exploration, and research studies on cancer care in SSA, with continued assessment of primary data availability.PMID:38566758 | PMC:PMC10984845 | DOI:10.3332/ecancer.2024.1680 (Source: Ecancermedicalscience)

Clinicopathologic characteristics and treatment outcomes of pancreatic cancer patients at a tertiary referral hospital in Kenya
This study aimed to describe the clinical and pathologic characteristics, management, and outcomes of patients diagnosed with PC at Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH), a tertiary referral hospital in Kenya. Records of 242 patients diagnosed with PC at KNH between 1st January 2014 and 30th September 2021 were assessed in this retrospective cohort study. Data on their clinical, histopathologic, and treatment characteristics was presented as mean (± standard deviation) and/or median (interquartile range) for continuous variables and frequency (percentage) for categorical variables. Kaplan-Meier and Cox proportional hazard rati...
