“…Our result is similar to that reported by Bagny A. et al [9] in Togo in 2015, who found an overall frequency of 5.74% of digestive cancer at Lomé University Hospital.

“…The lower extreme of 13 years found in our study would have been the subject of a publication in 2018 by Traoré B. who notified that she would be to her knowledge the youngest patient presenting with anal adenocarcinoma [11]. In addition, the literature reports a much higher prevalence of tumors of the digestive tract in the elderly: Bagny A. et al [9] in Togo in 2015, Ouedraogo S, et al [10] in Burkina Faso in 2018 and Benelkhaiat R, et al [10] in Morocco in 2010, who reported mean ages of 52.8, 44.3 and 58.1 years respectively.…”

Introduction: Digestive cancers represent between 10 and 50% of all cancers and therefore occupy a preponderant place in digestive surgery departments. Our general objective was to study the epidemiological, anatomo-clinical and therapeutic aspects of cancers of the digestive tract at the Conakry University Hospital. Methodology: This was a retrospective descriptive study covering a period of 6 years, from January 1, 2014 to December 31, 2019. Result: the hospital prevalence of cancers of the digestive tract was 6.34% with a male predominance of 54% and a sex ratio of 1.17. The average age was 52.7 years with the extremes of 13 and 84 years and 57% resided in Conakry. Alcohol and tobacco are the most popular stimulants. The most frequent reasons for consultations were epigastralgia 64.31%, vomiting / nausea 44.11%, Stomach and colon cancers were the most represented, i.e. 40.07% and 30.30% respectively. The treatment was curative (surgery) in 85.19% of cases and the outcome was favorable in almost three quarters of cases, or 71.04% of cases. We have 71 registered death cases. Conclusion: Cancers of the digestive tract remain non-negligible in our country and that of the stomach is the most common. The hope lies in equipping structures with proximity and adequate infrastructure for diagnosis and with consequent therapeutic means (radiotherapy), as well as raising awareness of early diagnosis within the community.

“…This frequency is greater than those of Bagny et al, Bouglouga et al, and Alassani et al which reported an annual frequency of 1 case, 3 cases, and 3.8 cases respectively. 12 , 18 , 19 There is a low incidence of esophagus cancer in West Africa, contrasting with a higher impact in East Africa. 22 Esophagus cancers are higher in developing countries than in developed countries.…”

“…In Togo, Darre et al 17 in a descriptive study on cancers in Togo, had found 52 cases of esophagus cancers, representing 4.2% of all cancers. Bagny et al 18 , 19 reported 11 cases of esophagus cancer in 11 years while Alassani et al reported an annual incidence of 3.8 cases of esophagus cancers. All these studies have limited themselves to epidemiological, clinical, histological, therapeutic, and evolutionary aspects of this cancer.…”

Background: Esophagus cancer is cancer of poor prognosis, of often late diagnosis. The objective of this study was to describe the factors associated with esophagus cancers in the Togolese population. Methods: It was a retrospective descriptive, cross-sectional study, on esophagus cancers histologically diagnosed at the Pathological Laboratory of Lomé over a period of 31 years (1990-2021). Results: We have collected 144 cases of esophagus cancer. The average age of patients was 57 ± 12 years, and the sex ratio was 2.34. The most applicant service was the service of Hepato Gastroenterology of CHU Campus (30.6%). Alcohol (57.6%), tobacco (45.8%) were the most present risk factors. Biopsies were the most addressed (97.2%). The average duration of symptom evolution was 6.42 months and the main symptom at the time of diagnosis was dysphagia (36.8%). The location of cancer was the lower third for 71.5% of cases. At histology, epidermoid carcinoma was the dominant type (90.3%). Male sex was statistically associated with the occurrence of epidermoid carcinoma and female sex with the occurrence of adenocarcinoma ( P < .001). Alcohol, smoking, and consumption of hot foods were statistically associated with the occurrence of epidermoid carcinoma in this study ( P < .05). Conclusion: Esophagus cancer remains a serious condition for late diagnosis. These are mainly epidermoid carcinomas and having alcohol and tobacco as risk factors. The awareness of the population on the main risk factors would reduce the incidence of oesophagus cancers within the Togolese population.
