title: [Breast cancer and pregnancy: about 60 cases collected at the Cancer Institut of Dakar].
abstract: The purpose of this retrospective study of 60 breast carcinoma during pregnancy collected at the Cancer Institut of Dakar from 1962 to 1998 was to determine the epidemiology, the clinical appearance and to discuss the pathogeny, the diagnosis, the prognosis and the treatment. The mean of age of patients was 34.5 years. The number of parity was 5 and the first pregnancy at 20 years. The authors arrived at diagnosis in the post partum in 28 cases (47.45%), in the first trimester in 8 cases (13.55%), in the midtrimester in 13 cases (22.03%) and in the third trimester in 11 cases (18.64%). The polychemotherapy preceded the surgery in 30 cases and succeded in 16 cases. The hormonotherapy with Tamoxifen prescribed in 17 cases after the delivery. The mastectomy and axillary lymphadenectomy was realised in 26 cases in the post partum. The adjuvant radiotherapy was done in 12 cases. The mortality was 31% and the global survival at 2 years, 34.6%.
