Of all cases, 9.7% was in children below the age of 15\u2009years. Most of the cases were residents from the Luanda district. The five most common cancers for all periods were breast (21.4%), cervix (16.8%), prostate (7.1%), non-Hodgkin lymphoma (4.5%) and Kaposi sarcoma (4.3%). For men, 19.3% of the cancers were prostate, 7.5% Kaposi sarcoma and 7.5% non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Cancers of the breast and cervix together accounted 60% of all cancers in females.
