Figure 1 Age distribution of oesophageal (A), gastric (B) and colorectal (C) cancers in the University Teaching Hospital, Lusaka, Zambia. Two data sources were used: (1) retrospective analysis of endoscopy records over the period 1999–2005 (black bars); (2) analysis of pathology records for all diagnoses of cancer of the digestive tract over the same period (white bars).
