[Epidemiology and prognosis of cervix cancer. Experience of the University Gynecology and Obstetric Clinic Ignace Deen of Conakry in 10 years: 1982-1991].
The cancer of the cervix is a tumor that can be detected at an early stage. Unfortunately, it is still detected lately in our service. Thus, it is the underlying cause of death by gynecological affection. After a preliminary work in 1982 about 35 case histories, the authors undertake a 10 years retrospective study where they showed that: the cancer of the cervix is the primary gynecological cancer (78.7%), it obtains between 25 and 65 years, the most often associated factors are early sex, (28%), poor living conditions (22%), cercivitise (17%), metrorrhagias (24%) and leucorrhoea are the most frequent signs. buding lesions are the dominant macroscopic form (68%) epidermoid carcinoma is the most important histological type, 98.7% cancer cases are detected at advanced stages (T3 and T4), the prognosis is dramatic: most patients die at home. This is a great public health issue the solution of which implies the collective action of decision-markers, health personnel and the communities themselves in order to promote early detection.
