| Popis: | The changes in incidence, sex distribution and histological profile of cancers of the liver over two decades at the University College Hospital (UCH), Ibadan, Nigeria, were studied. There were 1234 cases of liver cancer, consisting of 876 men and 358 women, a men to women ratio of 2.4:1, and peak age incidence was between 40 and 59 years. Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) accounted for 92% of all cases; metastatic carcinoma was 1.78%, cholangiocarcinoma 1.2%, while combined HCC and cholangiocarcinoma was 0.24%. |
