“…The type I endometrial carcinoma, specifically endometrioid adenocarcinoma (80%) is the commonest histologic subtype in our study. This is consistent with studies that have documented the commonest histologic type of endometrial carcinoma as endometrioid adenocarcinoma [32][33][34]. This is also in agreement with data from India showing 80% as compared to values as high as 90% in developed countries such as the United States of America and the United Kingdom.…”

“…However, the mean age in our study is variant to observations in the United kingdom (83 years) and the United State of America (89 years). This could be attributed to racial differences and age as an important risk factor [ 5 , 9 , 30 – 33 ]. Endometrial carcinoma is a disease of post-menopausal women with about 75% of women in our study being post-menopausal and about 11.3% of women being pre-menopausal.…”

Background There are relatively few studies in Nigeria, and indeed, sub-Saharan Africa that have documented the relative frequencies and histomorphological patterns of endometrial carcinoma. This study aimed to determine the relative frequencies and clinic-epidemiological characteristics of endometrial carcinoma and its histological variants in Kano, North-Western, Nigeria. Method A 10-year retrospective study of all endometrial carcinoma cases in the Department of Pathology, Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital, Kano. All relevant information was retrieved and data was analysed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 22. Results Endometrial carcinoma showed an increment in prevalence from 0.5% of all gynaecologic admission in 2008 to 1.0% in 2017. Type I endometrial carcinoma, specifically endometrioid adenocarcinoma accounted for 80% of cases, while endometrial serous carcinoma was the most common type II endometrial carcinoma representing 20% of cases. Over 75% of endometrial carcinomas occurred in postmenopausal women with a mean age of 59 years. Conclusion There is a rise in the prevalence of endometrial carcinoma and endometrioid adenocarcinoma is the most common histologic type.

Purpose The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on world healthcare system and economy is unprecedented. Currently routine surgical procedures are at a halt globally, but whether one can delay cancer procedures remains an ethical issue, and still there is no clarity on how women with gynaecological cancers should be managed in these critical times. Methods Currently available literature on impact of COVID-19 on cancer was reviewed with special reference to its applicability to the Indian context. Results Cancer cases are more susceptible for COVID-19 infection and rapid deterioration if they get infected. A tumour board should plan their management with a ''do no harm'' approach as the guiding principle. Teleconsultation may be used to advise patients for therapy and symptom control measures, as well as to advise new patients regarding diagnostic tests. Surgical decision making may be stratified into three categories: patients with low (not life threatening) or intermediate (potential for future morbidity or mortality) acuity may be delayed; those with high acuity may be taken up for planned therapy after explaining the risks. Assessment of the severity of disease, comorbid conditions, and logistic challenges, along with COVID census in their area are important variables for informed and individualized decision making. Safety of healthcare personnel needs to be ensured at the same time.Conclusion Currently available evidence is limited by small sample size, and full impact of this pandemic on cancer is yet to be seen. However, cancer care needs to be individualized taking all variables into consideration.
