Distribution pattern of reported cancers by site and year of
diagnosis
Between 2010 and 2019, the highest number of recorded cases in a year
was 343 in 2018 and 2019, and lowest was 163 in 2010. A consistent
increase of 210% was noted over these 10 years. The five most common
sites for cancer in the time period studied were bone marrow (887 cases,
33% of the total), CNS (481 cases, 17.8%), lymphoid (294 cases, 11%),
bone tumors (255 cases, 9.5%) and soft tissue (145 cases, 5.4%). The
trends in incidence of cancer according to site is shown in Figure 2 and
the overall proportion of each cancer in Figure 3.
