“…These include high-risk human papillomaviruses, hepatitis B and C viruses, Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), human T-Cell Lymphotropic Virus Type 1 (HTLV-1), Human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8), Merkel cell polyomavirus, and human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1). In Morocco, these viral infections may contribute to more than 14,000 cases of cancer annually [19]. In our study, the majority of patients were exposed to sunlight (85%), 31% suffered from air pollution, and 25% of participants were in contact with asbestos.…”

In Morocco, where cancer is a major public health problem, the characteristics of cancer in the Beni Mellal-Khenifra region of Morocco are unknown. Our objective was to establish the epidemiological profile of cancer in this region and the main risk factors influencing cancer. We conducted a cross-sectional study, including all types of cancer, with a sample of 100 patients at the Beni Mellal regional oncology center. Data collected in June and July 2021 using a questionnaire, pre-tested, and analyzed using SPSS and Excel. The questionnaire included sections on cancer-related clinical characteristics and other items related to cancer risk exposures. Gyneco-mammary cancers occupied the first position (49%). The most common localization of cancer in women was breast cancer, with a proportion of 63% of cases recorded during the period studied. In men, lung cancer was the most frequent location at 17%. We found some possible risk factors for cancer: tobacco and alcohol use, dietary habits, use of hormonal contraceptive methods, low income, pollution, sun radiation, exposure to asbestos, family history of cancer, and diseases associated with cancer. Women’s cancers are very common in the region. Several factors are responsible for this frequency. These results suggest several avenues for further research.

Cervical cancer is most often attacking women. After breast cancer, cervical cancer becomes second cancer infecting women. (WHO, 2014). This research aims to get the results from the fertility age couples' motivation on cervical cancer early detection.The preparation of a scoping review adapted the Arksey O'Malley framework consisted of 5 stages: research questions with the PEOs framework (Population, Exposure, and Outcomes), searching literature using relevant databases. The 12 articles used to consist of 3 themes, namely sexual and reproductive health problems, sexual health problems, and sexual and reproductive health.
