We aimed to describe cancer incidence data from the Cancer Registry of the Maputo Central Hospital (MCH) in 2015\u20132016, for Maputo City dwellers, and to compare the incidence rates with those observed in 1956\u20131961. Cancers with incidence data in 2015\u20132016 were identified by the Cancer Registry of the MCH. Crude and age-standardized incident rates (ASIR, per 100\u2009000) \u2013 direct method, world standard population \u2013 were computed for Maputo City, under the assumption that most cancer cases among this population were identified at the MCH. A total of 1707 incident cases in Maputo City dwellers were registered (76.6% confirmed histologically). Prostate cancer, Kaposi sarcoma, and liver cancer were the most frequent in men (ASIR: 24.5, 19.8, and 13.3, respectively). Cervical and breast cancers, and Kaposi sarcoma were the most common among women (ASIR: 32.4, 11.8, and 9.5, respectively). Compared with the data from 1956 to 1961, the most pronounced declines in ASIR were for bladder and liver cancers, in both sexes, and increases were greater for prostate cancer among men (172.2%) and breast cancer (237.1%) among women. Our study highlights the high frequency of infection-related cancers in Maputo, but also of those related to the ongoing demographic and socioeconomic transition.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1097\/cej.0000000000000457","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,6,22]],"date-time":"2018-06-22T21:47:55Z","timestamp":1529704075000},"page":"373-376","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Cancer incidence in Mozambique in 2015\u20132016: data from the Maputo Central Hospital Cancer Registry"],"prefix":"10.1097","volume":"28","author":[{"given":"Carla","family":"Carrilho","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology, Faculty of Medicine, University Eduardo Mondlane"},{"name":"Anatomical Pathology Service"}]},{"given":"Filipa","family":"Fontes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"EPIUnit \u2013 Institute of Public Health"},{"name":"Portuguese Institute of Oncology of Porto, Porto, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Satish","family":"Tulsid\u00e1s","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine, Oncology Service, Maputo Central Hospital"}]},{"given":"Cesaltina","family":"Lorenzoni","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology, Faculty of Medicine, University Eduardo Mondlane"},{"name":"Anatomical Pathology Service"},{"name":"Ministry of Health, National Cancer Program, Maputo"}]},{"given":"Josefo","family":"Ferro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Anatomical Pathology Service, Beira Central Hospital, Beira, Mozambique"}]},{"given":"Mariana","family":"Brand\u00e3o","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"EPIUnit \u2013 Institute of Public Health"},{"name":"Portuguese Institute of Oncology of Porto, Porto, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Ana","family":"Ferro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"EPIUnit \u2013 Institute of Public Health"}]},{"given":"Nuno","family":"Lunet","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"EPIUnit \u2013 Institute of Public Health"},{"name":"Department of Public Health and Forensic Sciences, and Medical Education, Faculty of Medicine, University of Porto"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"key":"R1-20230902","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"799","DOI":"10.4269\/ajtmh.2009.08-0344","article-title":"Geographic distribution and prevalence of schistosomiasis and soil-transmitted helminths among schoolchildren in Mozambique","volume":"81","author":"Augusto","year":"2009","journal-title":"Am J Trop Med Hyg"},{"key":"R2-20230902","article-title":"Cervical cancer screening uptake in women aged between 15 and 64 in Mozambique","author":"Brand\u00e3o","year":"2018","journal-title":"Eur J Cancer Prev"},{"key":"R3-20230902","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"54","DOI":"10.1002\/(SICI)1097-0215(20000101)85:1<54::AID-IJC10>3.0.CO;2-D","article-title":"Cancer incidence in the African population of Harare, Zimbabwe: second results from the cancer registry 1993\u20131995","volume":"85","author":"Chokunonga","year":"2000","journal-title":"Int J Cancer"},{"key":"R4-20230902","first-page":"267","article-title":"CANREG: cancer registration software for microcomputers","volume":"95","author":"Coleman","year":"1991","journal-title":"IARC Sci Publ"},{"key":"R7-20230902","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"133","DOI":"10.1016\/S1470-2045(00)00254-0","article-title":"Epidemiology of breast cancer","volume":"2","author":"Key","year":"2001","journal-title":"Lancet Oncol"},{"key":"R8-20230902","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"16","DOI":"10.1186\/1750-9378-6-16","article-title":"HIV and cancer in Africa: mutual collaboration between HIV and cancer programs may provide timely research and public health data","volume":"6","author":"Mbulaiteye","year":"2011","journal-title":"Infect Agent Cancer"},{"key":"R9-20230902","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"529","DOI":"10.1097\/CEJ.0000000000000108","article-title":"Kaposi sarcoma incidence in Mozambique: national and regional estimates","volume":"24","author":"Meireles","year":"2015","journal-title":"Eur J Cancer Prev"},{"key":"R10-20230902","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2010","DOI":"10.1155\/2010\/609315","article-title":"Prevalence and risk factors of sexually transmitted infections and cervical neoplasia in women from a rural area of southern Mozambique","volume":"2010","author":"Menendez","year":"2010","journal-title":"Infect Dis Obstet Gynecol"},{"key":"R13-20230902","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"149","DOI":"10.1186\/1756-0500-5-149","article-title":"Burden of cancer in Malawi;
