    Cancer of the prostate is now the commonest malignancy in the male in Uganda1 while Kaposi’s sarcoma was the commonest in the 1990’s2. The incidence rate is 39.2:100,000 males in Kyaddondo County and it has been rising in Uganda since 19603. It is a challenging tumour to treat with most of the patients presenting with metastatic disease.
