“…A survey of institutional registries cutting across 15 states in the 6 geopolitical zones of Nigeria, reported that in both sexes, breast cancer, cervical, liver prostate and colorectum in that order were the commonest among Nigerians [17].In males, prostate cancer, liver, Non-Hodgkin lymphoma colorectum and pancreas in that order, while in females, breast cancer, cervical, liver, colorectum and Non-Hodgkin lymphoma in that order were the commonest [17]. The pattern of childhood cancer in Nigeria is somewhat similar in most of the reported cases; Lymphomas (Hodgkin and Non-Hodgkin), are the commonest followed by Retinoblastomas and or Soft tissue tumours, or nephroblastoma [1,[18][19][20][21][22][23]. This study was aimed to get a trend analysis of cancer cases from the rest of Cross River State, not covered by the population-based Calabar cancer registry.…”

Aims:This study aims to find out the prevalence of cancer in the different age groups in the rest of Cross River state not covered by the Calabar cancer registry. Study Design: Descriptive retrospective study involving a trend analysis of the cancers incident in the University of Calabar Teaching Hospital, and persons from the rest of Cross River State not covered by the Calabar cancer registry. Such cases as occurred between 1st of January 2004 to December 31st, 2013 were included. Place and Duration of Study: The Department of Pathology, University of Calabar Teaching hospital; between April and May 2019. Methodology: A trend analysis of cancer cases from the rest of Cross River State outside the range of the Calabar cancer registry over the period was studied. Results: Nine hundred and forty-one (941) cases of cancer were seen outside Calabar in Cross River State, within January 2004 and December 2013. Mean age was 49.18 ± 18.9 years, ranging Original Research Article Ebughe et al.; IJTDH, 38(1): 1-12, 2019; Article no.IJTDH.50415 2 from 1 to 100 years, and female: male ratio was 1: 0.97. The commonest age range cancer occurred is 40 to 64 years overall, 40 to 64 years in males and 40 to 64 years in females. The commonest cancers sites were breast cancer (21.9%), prostate (21.3%), lymphohematopoietic (9.2%). The commonest cancers in males were prostate (43.1), lymphohematopoietic (12.9%), soft tissue (11.4%). In females' breast 41.1% and cervix, 15.9% were the dominant sites. Cancer in the 0 to 17 age range was remarkably similar and was dominated by lymphohematopoietic sites, soft tissue, eye and urinary system. Cancer in the older ages 65 years and above is overwhelmingly dominated by prostate 60% followed by breast 18%. Conclusion: Cancer in the rest of Cross River State is dominated by breast, prostate and cervical sites. This is like the GLOBOCAN estimates for Nigeria.

Introduction: Cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer in women globally and the second in low-Middle income countries, its screening rate is yet to reach 70% WHO target. Most interventions that proved effective in improving screening participation in some communities did not achieve the desired behavioural outcome in some settings. Aim: This study aimed at evaluating the care seeking behaviour interventions on cervical cancer screening participation. Method: A Pragmatic Multiphase Mixed Methods Design was adopted for this study and three phases of Human Centered Design process was used for data collection. Thematic analysis was used for qualitative data while SPSS for the quantitative data analysis. Results: Findings indicate that most (57.4%) participants were within 30–65 years, most (81.0%) were extremely poor with annual income < 284,700.00 Naira. Before intervention, most (77.4%) were afraid of exposing their private parts, 75.9% were afraid of being diagnosed with cervical cancer; 52.1% felt the procedure was embarrassing, 53.2% felt the procedure was painful; 11.2% had ever screened; majority (88.8%) said involving husband, (86.5%) welcoming attitude of care provider are among facilitators for screening. Screening participation improved from 11.2% preintervention to 29.7% postintervention (average mean screening score from 1.89 ± 0.316 to 1.7000 ± 0.458), all participants who screened postintervention said the procedure was not embarrassing, painful, and were not afraid of procedure and screening room. In conclusion, screening habit in the community was low preintervention as this may result from social norms, affect, utility, influence of sociodemographic variables and lack of facilitating conditions. Care-seeking behaviour interventions has significantly increased screening participation.

Introduction Cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer in women globally and the second most common cancer in low- to middle-income countries, and its screening rate is yet to reach the 70% WHO target. Most interventions that proved effective in improving screening participation in some communities did not achieve the desired behavioral outcome in some settings. Aim This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of care-seeking behavior interventions on cervical cancer screening participation. Method A pragmatic multiphase mixed methods design was adopted for this study, and three phases of the human-centered design process were used for data collection. Deductive thematic analysis was used for qualitative data, while SPSS was used for quantitative data analysis. Results The findings show a significant relationship between participants’ tribes p values (0.03) 0.05 and screening participation. Before the intervention, most (77.4%) were afraid of exposing their private parts; 75.9% were afraid of being diagnosed with cervical cancer; and the majority felt the procedure was embarrassing and painful. Free screening, awareness, and knowledge, offering transport, the use of influencers, and sample collection by a female care provider are among other facilitators to screening. Screening participation improved from 11.2% preintervention to 29.7% postintervention (average mean screening score from 1.890.316 to 1.70000.458). All participants who were screened postintervention said the procedure was not embarrassing or painful and that they were not afraid of the procedure or the screening environment. Conclusion In conclusion, screening habits in the community were low before intervention, as this may have resulted from women’s feelings and past experiences with screening services. Sociodemographic variables may not directly predict screening participation. Care-seeking behavior interventions have significantly increased screening participation postintervention.
