“…Contrary to this result, the frequency of lung cancer was low in our study. According to GLOBOCAN 2020 [5], liver cancer is the fifth most common cancer in Togolese men, however, Histologically, we noted a predominance of carcinoma as it has been reported in several studies [7,8,10,11].…”

Purpose: Until 2016, there was no oncologist in Togo. This study reviewed the first four years of activities in the practice of clinical oncology in the country to provide the cancer profile, the treatment, and outcomes of patients.Methods: We performed a retrospective descriptive study of patients diagnosed with cancer seen in oncology in Togo from March 2016 to March 2020. Data on presentation, staging, treatment, and outcomes were reviewed. Statistics were computed using SPSS.Results: A total of 897 patients were included. There were 625 women (69.7%) and 272 men (30.3%). The mean age at diagnosis was 53.48 years for men and 52.39 for women and more than half of patients were under 60 years. A cancer diagnosis was histologically confirmed in 81.2% of patients. For both sexes, breast cancer was the commonest followed by cervix cancer, colorectal cancer, prostate, and stomach cancer. In men, prostate cancer ranked first followed respectively by gastric cancer and colorectal cancer. The most common cancer in women was breast cancer followed by cervix cancer. Majority of patients (60%) presented at a late stage. 531 patients (59.2%) received at least one cancer therapy modality but more than half of treated patients did not complete their treatment. After fifty-eight months of follow-up, only 132 patients (14.7%) in the all-study population are alive. Conclusion: This study describes the epidemiology and oncologic treatment in Togolese patients. Breast and Prostate are the leading cancer diagnoses in our population. Most patients presented at an advanced stage and the treatment was palliative in a majority of patients. There is an urgent need for early detection of cancer in Togo.

Background: In developing countries, the long delays in consultation lead to a delay in diagnosis and management of the skin tumours. The lesions are often large and brings the problem of skin coverage after their resections. Several reconstruction techniques allow skin coverage. The objective of this study is to describe the place of Z-plasty in the surgical treatment of skin cancers in Ouagadougou.Patients and methods: It was a two-centre, retrospective, descriptive study on Z-plasty in skin cancers. It included patients who underwent surgery between January 1st, 2013 and March 30th, 2021 in Ouagadougou. Scar quality and healing time in Z-plasty were compared with those of secondary healing. Results: In 8 years and 3 months, 171 skin cancers were identified. The mean time to consultation was 13.6 months. The average size of the tumours was 9 cm. A Z-plasty was performed in 42 cases, being 58.3% of the patients operated on. The average healing time was 15 days. It was four and a half times shorter in Z-plasty than in secondary healing. Ischaemic necrosis of the Z-corner was noted in 7 cases. The recurrence rate in Z-plasty and secondary healing was 7.1% and 9.1% respectively. Hypertrophic or keloidal scars were noticed in 7 cases and hypochromia in 2 cases.Conclusion: Z-plasty is a technique of choice for skin coverage after large resections in surgical oncology. It reduces the healing time and the cost of postoperative care without increasing the risk of tumour recurrence.
