Epidemiological profile of breast cancers in the Department of Gynaecology, Obstetrics and Reproductive Medicine of the Souro Sanou University Hospital Centre from 1 January 2024 to 31 December 2024 in Bobo-Dioulasso (Burkino Faso)
Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the epidemiological, diagnostic, therapeutic and prognostic aspects of breast cancers followed up in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology and Reproductive Medicine of the Souro Sanou University Hospital.
Patients and Methods: This was a prospective descriptive study over a 12-month period from 1st January 2024 to 31 December 2024 of patients with breast cancer treated in the gynaecology department of the Souro Sanou University Hospital. We included all patients diagnosed and managed in our department. Epidemiological, clinical, paraclinical, therapeutic and prognostic aspects were studied. Data were entered into an electronic database and analysed using Sphinx version 5 software.
Result: During the study period, 24 patients were registered. The epidemiological profile was that of a woman aged on average 41 years, multiparous with the notion of mixed breastfeeding in 13 patients (54.17%). The majority of patients (17, 70.83%) were seen at stage T4, with suspicious axillary lymph nodes present in 96%. Pathology revealed infiltrating ductal carcinoma in 16 patients (66.67%) and adenocarcinoma in 8 patients (33.33%). HIV serology was positive in 8 patients (33.33%). Extension studies were performed in all patients. Fifteen patients were undergoing chemotherapy (62.5%), radiotherapy was indicated in all patients but was not available; 10 patients (41.67%) had undergone mastectomy with axillary lymph node dissection. Post-operative management was straightforward in 95% of cases. We recorded 8 deaths, representing a case-fatality rate of 33.33%.
Conclusion: Breast cancer diagnosed at a late stage remains a real public health problem if it is to be properly managed. The emphasis therefore needs to be on raising awareness.
