1Includes anal cancer
2Sub-Saharan Africa countries only. Includes B21.0 (HIV disease resulting in Kaposi sarcoma)
3Female only
4Includes HIV disease resulting in malignant neoplasms

Notes:
  • For the category All cancers but non-melanoma skin cancer, the number of new cases and deaths were estimated as the sum of the corresponding 27 site-specific numbers plus those that comprise the residual other and unspecified cancers (not given).
  • No attempt was made to estimate incidence and mortality from non-melanoma skin cancer because of the difficulties in collecting (and counting) such tumours.
  • The categories Kaposi sarcoma, non-Hodgkin lymphoma and All cancers but non-melanoma skin cancer include some disease entities that might have been coded in mortality (but not incidence) statistics to the ICD-10 category B21 (HIV disease resulting in neoplasms).
