In Nigeria, cancer statistics like any other statistics may be rather nebulous. Just as there are no accurate statistical data on our population figure, there is very little or accurate information on the incidence of cancer in the Nigerian society. However, we know that cancer ranks behind the major causes of death: malnutrition, malaria, infections and infestations and accidents.
