Abstract
Cancer of the esophagus has been thought to be unusually prevalent in Rhodesian African patients. However, the high incidence reported previously for cases seen in Salisbury is, in part, due to the relatively larger number of patients from Malawi and Mozambique admitted to Rhodesian hospitals with this disease. The patients presented at a younger age than that reported in white races, and the high preponderance of men was greater than that reported in most series in Europe and Africa. The various factors that have been suggested as possible causes of cancer of the esophagus throughout Africa are discussed.
