The peak incidence of cancer in both sexes was found to be between 41-50 years of age. Cancer was more common in males (66.97 percent) than in females (33.03 percent). Cancer of the digestive system was the commonest cancer in both sexes, followed by lymphnodes, genitourinary tract and respiratory system in males and cancer of the breast and genitourinary system in females.
