Trends in the incidence of cancers of the breast and female genital tract in Harare, Zimbabwe 1990-2019.
August 15, 2026 · International journal of cancer
Key takeaway
Breast cancer and other female-specific cancers like cervical cancer are on the rise in Black women in Harare. This matters because some of these cancers are linked to lifestyle changes and can be prevented. We need to focus on prevention for our community.
Why this matters for our communities
Research in cancer helps close long-standing gaps in how Black and African American families are studied, diagnosed, and cared for. Use findings like this one to start informed conversations with your care team — not as a substitute for personal medical advice.
