Objective: It’s aim at describing the epidemiological features and management modalities of gynecological and
breast cancers in Parakou in 2016.
Framework and study method: It was a retrospective descriptive and analytical study covering a six-year period
running from January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2015. It took place in Parakou at the University-affiliated Hospital of
Borgou Department and at Boko Zone Hospital.
Results: Of the 90 cases of gynecological and breast cancers recorded during this period, cervical cancer was the
leading one with 54.44%. Breast cancer accounted for 34.44%, followed by ovarian cancer (5.57%). The median time
from the onset of first symptoms to first consultation was 92 ± 71 days. The mean age of patients was 45 ± 15.9 years.
Most cancers were diagnosed at an advanced stage (stage II, III or IV) that’s 60.43%. The most common anatomopathological
types were: invasive ductal carcinomas (67.74%) for the breast andinvasive squamous cell carcinomas for
the cervix (66%). Surgical treatment is always the only therapeutic mean available.
Conclusion: Gynecological and breast cancers are common in northern Benin. The treatment remains essentially
surgical. It’s necessary to promote the early detection of these pathologies. |
