Colorectal cancer screening in sub-Saharan Africa

Résumé fourni par la source

Although the incidence of colorectal cancer is believed to be rising in sub-Saharan Africa, the true values are largely unknown, with current figures extrapolated from descriptive studies done in a few countries. Without hard data, government investment to support colorectal cancer management is difficult to obtain. The degree of gevernmental support is very different from efforts for breast cancer and cervical cancer treatment, which are covered under several national health insurance plans, further increasing population demand for screening and in turn, more investment allocation.
