The incidence rate was 17.5% of all malignant tumors in the series. Burkitt's lymphoma is the most common type of lymphoma in Ghana, followed by reticulum cell sarcoma. Unlike the situation in western countries, the incidence of Hodgkin's disease in Ghana is low, but the age distribution in all the types of lymphoma studied tended to show a higher occurrence in a slightly younger age group than in the U.S.A., Britain or Japan. Sex distribution was about the same as in other studies, but ethnic distribution showed no significant high occurrence in any of the 4 main groups considered.Item Malignant lymphoma in Ghana. Part II: Hodgkin's disease(Ghana Medical Journal, 1973) Anim, J.T.; Christian, E.C.; Laing, W.N.Reclassification of 45 cases of Hodgkin's disease according to the recommendations of the Rye Conference of 1965 has shown a marked preponderance of the mixed cellularity type (78%) in Ghana. This group does not occur more frequently in older patients as suggested by Lukes et al. (1966), but a study is required to correlate this histological distribution of the disease with length of survival, since the mixed cellularity group has been found by other workers to have a poorer prognosis.Item Breast diseases: Review of surgical material in Korle Bu hospital 1977-1978(Ghana Medical Journal, 1979) Anim, J.T.No abstract availableItem
