| Core Tip |
Epidemiology of liver cancer is limited in West Africa. This study investigated incidence trends of liver cancer over 28 years of the population-based cancer registry in Bamako, Mali. Findings showed a significant decrease in liver incidence rates in both males and females. This is the first study reporting a decrease in the incidence rates of liver cancer in an urban population in West Africa. Evidence points to a reduction of exposure to aflatoxin caused by lifestyle and dietary changes. The magnitude of this effect suggests that reduction of aflatoxin exposure may achieve major protective effects in West Africa. |
