“…Excluding breast cancer in women, the three most common types of cancer in males overlap with those first reported in females (leukaemia, NHL, and colorectal cancer) in the study period. The rate of lymphomas in particular was found common in females than males which is not matching the rate found in some Central and south American countries where rates reported dominant among male patients [ 28 ]. Interestingly, the age specific pattern of Yemeni childhood cancer agree with the most common cancers reported in a previous study by Ba-Saddik (2013) [ 18 ], where leukaemia is the most common, followed by lymphoma and central nervous system tumours.…”

BackgroundThis study aims to report on the trend and incidence of cancers in Yemen (Aden) using data from Aden Cancer Registry (ACR), as a population-based cancer registry in Yemen over a period of 15 years (1997–2011). Such comprehensive, valid and detailed information on cancer trend is badly needed for planning a cancer control program in the country.MethodsAll cancer cases were abstracted from patients’ medical records – based on clinical, histopathology, and radiological diagnosis. Data were coded using the International Classification of Diseases for Oncology (ICD-O) and the International Classification of Childhood Cancer (ICCC-3) to code childhood tumors. The CanReg4 program was used to analyze the data for 15 years study period.ResultsA total of 6974 cases were included in this study, 47% were males and 53% females. The overall annual incidence rate was 21.6/100,000 populations; however, the incidence in males was little lower than in females (20.0 and 22.9 per 100,000 populations, respectively). The top five cancers among males were leukaemia (10.5%), nonhodgkin lymphoma [(NHL), 10.1%], colon (7.5%), Hodgkin diseases [(HD), 6.1%] and stomach cancer (5.1%). For females, breast cancer was the top (30.0%), followed by leukaemia (7.6%), NHL (6.6%), colonic (4.9%) and ovarian cancer (4.5%).ConclusionOur findings reveal that, there is urgent need to commence the early screening of breast cancer due to its high frequency among Yemeni women. The government should give more support for cancer registries in the country to sustain its vital contribution to cancer care.

“…Although rare, it represents the fourth leading cause of cancer in pregnancy, from 1 in 6,000 pregnancies. 8,9 The increased incidence requires professionals to pay more attention in prenatal clinical modifications, 10 differentiate what is common in pregnancy and what is clinical change that requires priority in care and treatment. Although the diagnosis was not so early, it was still the well-conducted physical examination that guided the appropriate imaging examination.…”

“…A pesar que la incidencia de LNH está aumentando en Perú, los casos de Linfoma de Burkitt representan sólo 1% según últimos datos regionales epidemiológicos [6] . En el Perú, Collins et al reportaron las características clínicas de pacientes VIH con LNH en un centro de referencia y encontraron que el Linfoma de Burkitt representó un 6% del total de casos [7] .…”

Linfoma de Burkitt en amígdala palatina de paciente con VIH asociado a tumoración occipital y lesiones osteolíticas en calota

et al. 2017

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

El linfoma de Burkitt que afecta a las amígdalas representa el 5% de los linfomas no Hodgkin primarios extranodales y ocurre usualmente en pacientes con VIH que presentan valores altos de CD4 y viremia crónica. Presentamos el caso de un varón de 37 años con diagnóstico de VIH menor de 1 año, irregular en la terapia antiretroviral combinada, que presentó una lesión ulcerada, necrótica en amígdala izquierda, y lesiones osteolíticas en calota craneana con compromiso de partes blandas a predominio occipital. En los exámenes auxiliares se halló un recuento de linfocitos CD4 de 50 cel/mm3 y carga viral de 1 250 000 copias/mL. La biopsia de amígdala fue compatible con Linfoma de Burkitt. El compromiso de calota craneana concomitante a este tumor es raro. Se inició quimioterapia con CODOX-M/IVAC (ciclofosfamida, vincristina, doxorrubicina, metotrexate + citarabina intratecal); sin embargo, la respuesta clínica fue desfavorable, a pesar de la supresión virológica posterior.
