Results from the population cancer registry in Bamako, Mali, for the years 1987 and 1988, are presented. The age-standardized incidence for all cancers is high compared with rates reported elsewhere in West Africa (119.6 per 10(5) in males and 88.3 per 10(5) in females), but the leading cancers in each sex are the same (liver cancer in males, cervix cancer in females). The incidence of stomach cancer is the highest recorded in Africa, while rates for lung cancer, although low, exceed those in earlier series from registries in the region.
