“…Ils restent néanmoins nettement supérieurs aux données africaines puisqu'à Lomé (Togo) [7] le nombre de cas enregistrés sur une période de 25 ans était seulement de 5251. Ces différences sont certainement liées à la taille des populations et à l'accessibilité aux soins dans les pays à haut revenu.…”

RÉSUMÉ À Fès-Boulemane (Maroc), il n'y a pas de registre du cancer et donc pas d'informations sur l'incidence et les caractéristiques du cancer dans cette région. Dans la présente étude rétrospective, nous avons examiné le profil épidémiologique et anatomopathologique de 5532 cas de cancer colligés au Service d'Anatomie pathologique du CHU Hassan II de Fès de 2004 à 2010. L'âge moyen des patients est de 53,5 ans avec une prédominance masculine (52 %). Les cancers les plus fréquents sont les cancers digestifs et cutanés. Les cancers digestifs se singularisent par la prédominance des cancers du côlon-rectum et de l'estomac. Les cancers de la vessie et du côlon-rectum représentent les premiers cancers chez l'homme, comptant respectivement pour 9 % et 8 % des cas. Chez la femme prédominent les cancers du sein (62 %) et du col utérin (22,6 %). La mise en place d'un registre des cancers dans notre région est recommandée comme première étape de la lutte anticancéreuse. ABSTRACT In Fez-Boulemane, Morocco, there is no cancer registry so there is a lack of information about the incidence and characteristics of cancer in the region. In this retrospective study we examined the epidemiological and pathological features of 5532 cases of cancer collected from the Department of Pathology in Hassan II University Hospital of Fes from 2004 to 2010. The mean age of the patients was 53.5 years and 52% were male. Digestive cancers and skin cancers were the most common. Digestive cancers were predominantly colorectal and stomach. Cancers of the urinary bladder and colorectal cancers were the leading cancers in men accounting respectively for 9% and 8% of all male cancers. In women, cancers of the breast (62%) and uterine cervix (22.6%) predominated. As a first step in cancer control in our area, establishment of a regional cancer registry is recommended.

Background Molecular classification of breast cancer is an important factor for prognostic and clinical outcome. There are no data regarding molecular breast cancer subtypes among Togolese women. The objective of this study was to evaluate the expression of ER, PR, HER2 and molecular subtypes of breast cancer receptor in Togolese patients and to establish the correlation between clinical and histological data and molecular types. Methods Clinicopathologic data of patients were collected from clinical records. Immunohistochemistry biomarkers (ER, PR and HER2) were assessed in patients who have been diagnosed with invasive breast cancer from March 2016 to March 2020 in the department of oncology. The analysis of variance and the Chi-square Test were used to analyze the data. Results A total of 117 cases were collected. Mean age of patients was 52.05 ± 12.38 with an age range of 30 to 85 years. Half of patients were over 50 years old and majority (70.9%) was postmenopausal. More than half of patients (52.1%) presented with T3-T4tumors.The most common histologic subtype of breast cancer was invasive ductal carcinoma of no special type (95.7%). Tumors grade 2 were predominant (51.3%) followed by grade 3 (42.7%). Advanced carcinomas were found in 69 patients (59%). The percentage of ER+, PR + and HER2 positive tumors was 50.4%, 37.6% and 15.4% respectively. The predominant molecular subtype was Luminal A (42.7%) followed by Triple negative (41.9%), Luminal B subtype (9.4%) and HER2 enriched (6%). There was significant association between tumor size and breast cancer subtypes (p = 0.026) but no correlation was found with age, stage, menopausal status and histologic grade. Conclusion Breast carcinoma in our patients are high grade tumors and are diagnosed at advanced stage. Luminal A and triple negative are the two predominant breast cancer subtypes in Togolese women. Consequently, Receptor testing availability should be a priority in order to offer the best breast cancer treatment.

“…Women are the particularly affected subjects in this part of the world. According to recent studies, the female predominance varies from 51.21% to 54.9% of cases [3]- [5]. The location at the genital area is very frequent due to the combination of different etiologic factors such as the existence of several infectious factors, often responsible for precancerous lesions and malignant tumour growths.…”

Genital cancers in women play an important role in cancer pathology in the developing countries. Objectives: This study aimed at clarifying the epidemiological and histopathological aspects of woman genital cancers in Côte d'Ivoire. Materials and Methods: This was a retrospective and descriptive study conducted in the anatomical pathology laboratories of the university hospitals in Abidjan. The study was carried out over a period of twenty-four years (1984-2007). The variables studied were: frequency, age, histological type and prognosis. Results: Genital cancers in women accounted for 41.28% (n = 2491) of cancer in women and 21% of cancers. The average age of patients was 46.65 years (range 2-88 years). The cervix (82.85%) was the main location followed by the ovary (8.6%). Histologically, carcinomas (92.93%) were the most common types of sarcomas. Cervical cancers were diagnosed at an average age of 47.36 years (range 2 to 88 years). Carcinomas were the predominant histological type (92.88%) with 57.4% (n = 450) diagnosed at pT2N0M0 stage. The average age of patients bearing ovarian cancer was 39.13 years (range 8 to 82 years). Common malignant epithelial tumours were the most common histological type (57.48%) (n = 123) followed by non-Hodgkin lymphoma (14.95%). Conclusion: Genital cancers in women are common and poorly prognosed in Côte d'Ivoire. The adoption of a policy of routine screening is needed to improve the prognosis of these tumours.
