RESUMO

Introduction. Le cancer du col utérin est le deuxième cancer de la femme au Cameroun. La radiothérapie reste une des modalités thérapeutiques phares dans la prise en charge de cette pathologie et l'État participe en y apportant une subvention. Toutefois, plusieurs patientes n'accèdent pas au traitement en raison des difficultés financières. Notre objectif était d'évaluer le coût réel de la prise en charge afin de servir de support aux politiques d'aide aux patientes. Méthodologie. Uneétude descriptive, transversale portant sur les patientes traitées en radiothérapie à l'Hôpital Général de Douala pour cancer du col de l'utérus a été réalisée d'octobre 2020 à janvier 2021.Résultats. Au total 35 dossiers de patientes ont été inclus. Lespatientes avaient de faibles revenus (<108.810 XAF /mois, 51,3%), étaient sans assurance maladie (88,6%), provenant en majorité des villes hors de Douala (54,3%), avec des cancers localement évolués. Le coût global moyen du traitement était de 511 264 XAF+/-103479 XAF (779,42 +/-157,75 euros) pour chaque patiente. La durée moyenne de traitement était de 57,34 jours, avec un nombre médian de 27 séances. Les frais supplémentaires pendant le traitement provenaient de la chimiothérapie, de la gestion des effets secondaires, notamment des transfusions sanguines, et du bilan de suivi. Plus de la moitié des patientes ont eu besoin d'une prise en charge supplémentaire par chimiothérapie ou chirurgie. Conclusion. La prise en charge du cancer du col utérin par radiothérapie est coûteuse et peu accessible à la majorité des patientes Camerounaises.


Introduction.Cervix cancer is the second cancer among women in Cameroon. Radiotherapy is often warranted in its management. Many patients do not access treatment due to financial difficulties. Our objective was to assess the real cost of care in order to support patient assistance policies. Methodology. A descriptive cross over study of women treated by radiotherapy at the Douala General Hospital from October 2020 to January 2021 was conducted. Results. A total number of 35 patient files were included in the study. Patients generally had low income (<108.810 XAF /month), without medical insurance, lived out of Douala, and were diagnosed at locally advanced stages of their disease. Average cost of treatment for radiotherapy alone was 511,264 XAF +/-103,479 XAF. Average duration of treatment was 57.34 days, with a median number of 27 sessions. Extra cost came from chemotherapy, management of side effects especially from blood transfusions, and imaging. More than half of the patients required additional expense for adjunct chemotherapy or surgery. Conclusion. The total cost of treatment for cervix cancer by radiotherapy is quite expensive, and not accessible to the average Cameroonian

RESUMO

But : Déterminer les intérêts de la simulation assistée par ordinateur par rapport à ceux de la simulation manuelle. Matériels et méthodes : Il s'agissait d'une étude descriptive, rétrospective et transversale menée sur une période de 6 ans (2007-2012) dans le service de radiothérapie de l'Hôpital Général de Yaoundé. Toutes les données en rapport avec l'identification des patients, et les paramètres d'irradiation de ceux-ci, ont été identifiées grâce à une analyse des registres de consultation, des dossiers médicaux, des fiches de simulation et des pancartes de traitement, puis relevées à l'aide d'une fiche technique pré-établie.Résultats : La méthode de simulation assistée et la méthode manuelle présentent le même niveau de précision dans la détermination des paramètres tels que la position du patient et la dosimétrie dans la technique de traitement en Distance Source Peau (DSP) (P = 0.29). La méthode assistée s'est avérée nettement supérieure en tous points à la méthode manuelle dans la détermination du volume cible (P = 0.00) ; du nombre, angulations et dimensions des faisceaux (P = 0.00) ; ainsi que les calculs dosimétriques selon les techniques de traitement en Distance Source Axe (DSA) (P = 0.01). Enfin, seule une technique de simulation aussi sophistiquée et malheureusement coûteuse permettait d'accéder et d'exploiter les avantages de la dosimétrie prévisionnelle (P = 0.00).Conclusion : Nous retenons de cette étude que la méthode de simulation assistée par ordinateur est bien plus supérieure à la technique manuelle, car apportant plus de précision dans la détermination de pratiquement tous les paramètres d'irradiation. Elle constitue le gold standard actuel et son efficacité et son indication pour la radiothérapie de niveau III sont unanimement reconnues. Cependant la technique manuelle dans les pays en pays en développement peut encore permettre avec une satisfaction relative le traitement des tumeurs superficielles et profondes dans un but le plus souvent palliatif que curatif

RESUMO

But : Evaluer le programme d'assurance qualite applique dans le service Radiotherapie de l'Hopital General de Yaounde. Materiels et methodes : Nous nous sommes proposes de mener une etude retrospective; transversale et qualitative du programme d'assurance qualite applique pendant une periode de 25 annees dans notre service. Toutes les donnees en rapport avec le circuit du malade; le plateau technique; la simulation; la dosimetrie et le traitement des patients ont ete recherchees grace a une analyse des differents comptes rendus des document medicaux des patients; puis relevees a l'aide d'une fiche technique preetablie et testee.Resultats : Aucun indicateur d'assurance qualite n'a atteint le score normatif ideal de 100%; l'indicateur lie aux ressources humaines notamment specialisees detient le score le plus bas de 42.10%. les indicateurs en rapport avec les equipements; les tests de controle qualite des equipements; l'organisation des locaux; le circuit des malades et la documentation technique arrivent avec un temps de conformite aux normes de 66%; 70%; 81%; 87% et 90% dans cet ordre. Conclusion : Notre programme d'assurance qualite a ete globalement satisfaisant jusqu'en avril 2012; date a laquelle des insuffisances aux plans des ressources humaines et surtout des equipements susceptibles de le compromettre se sont progressivement installees et identifiees a l'occasion de la presente etude

RESUMO

Le cancer du sein est le premier des cancers tant dans les pays industrialises que dans plusieurs pays africains. Au Cameroun; son incidence est de 29; 7 /100000 personnes-annees et sa mortalite de 16;6 / 100000. Parmi les moyens therapeutiques; la radiotherapie adjuvante a un role non negligeable pour ameliorer la survie. Aussi avons-nous eu le desir de decrire le devenir des patientes atteintes de carcinome mammaire invasif apres radio-therapie adjuvante. Nous avons alors mene une etude retrospective de janvier 2006 a decembre 2010 dans les Services de Radiotherapie des Hopitaux Generaux de Yaounde et de Douala. Afin de determiner le devenir des patientes en termes de survie sans rechute et de survie globale. Nous avons egalement etabli les courbes de survie selon la methode de Kaplan-Meier et analyse les donnees a l'aide du logiciel Epi Info 3.5.3 .Les patientes avaient un age moyen de 46 ans; extremes de 22 a 80 ans. La survie sans rechute etait de 82;5 a 5 ans; les taux de rechute loco-regionale et a distance respectivement de 9;1 et de 18;8. Pour la survie globale; la survenue d'une rechute loco-regionale associee au stade tardif etait un facteur de mauvais pronostic (p = 0;009 et 0;047) tandis que la chirurgie conservatrice l'etait pour la survie sans recidive (p = 0;042). La radiotherapie adjuvante pratiquee au Cameroun pour le traitement des carcinomes mammaires invasifs ameliore le pronostic locoregional et de ce fait la survie globale

RESUMO

Objective. To describe the profile of breast cancer in the patients attending the radiation therapy unit of Yaounde General Hospital. Method. From 1989 to 2009, we conducted a descriptive retrospective study based on the register and medical records of patients. Results. During the study period, 531 breast cancer patients were recorded of which 0.75% were male. Age range was 18 to 82 years, with a mean of 45.17 years. Out of these, 66.1% were less than 50 years old and 31.9% less than 40. Self detection was the discovery method in most cases (95.34% of patients). Mean delay before presentation at hospital was 10.35 months, and 54.94% had used traditional medicine before medical evaluation. Metastasis and locally advanced breast cancer at diagnosis were present in 08.13% and 62.78%, respectively. Mastectomy was used in 88.08% of patients. Conclusion. The study reinforces the position occupied by late presentation and advanced stage at diagnosis of breast cancer profile in developing countries.

RESUMO

Double primary cancers are fairly rare. We report here a case of metachronous lesions; advanced cancer of the breasts and squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix. What is peculiar in this case is the rather unusual positive response to conservative treatment. Despite widespread metastases even to the liver, the patient is well and active more than six years after breast cancer was first diagnosed. Treating such advanced cases may be rewarding at times.

RESUMO

The objective of this work was to search for and precise all the facts related to clinical anatomo and the prognosis capable of individualising the sick in our midst. We proposed to analyse 111 files of cases treated for the cancer of the uterine neck in the gynaecology services and cancerology-radiotherapy in the General Hospital, Yaounde. All the facts related to the clinical anatomo presentations of the patients were noted as well as the therapeutic results in accordance with the facts and the technical means of treatment. All these facts have been compared to the ones of the literature. We established that the clinical anatomo presentation of the cases in our series is comparable to the one of the literature taking into account the previous history, the general state, the symptoms and the clinical signs. On the other hand, it differs relatively by the important proportion of the young, the long diagnosis delay, the importance of the extensive stages and the additional prognosis factors in relation with the inadequacy of technical means of treatment. In conclusion, a lucid reorientation of our policy to fight against cancers in general and of cancer of the uterine neck in particular that takes into account the reality of the data based on the clinical and prognosis facts of our patients is needed.

RESUMO

In this work, we aimed to provide a clear description of the contribution to and role of major imaging techniques in the diagnosis of cancers of the cavum and assessment of their local and regional expansion. This should provide doctors with a useful guide for decisions concerning the imaging technique to be used. This is a retrospective analysis of 41 cases of cavum cancer, all confirmed by histology. The series consisted of 29 male patients (70%) and 12 female patients (30%), giving a sex ratio of 2.4. The mean age of the patients was 42 years (range: 11 to 71 years). All patients were examined and treated in the Radiology and Oncological Radiotherapy Department of Yaounde General Hospital over a period of eight years (December 1988 to November 1996 inclusive). All data relating to diagnosis, assessment of local and regional expansion and the response of the tumor to treatment were retrieved from the medical files and analyzed. We found that clinical diagnosis of cancer of the cavum was difficult and this cancer was often diagnosed late. It was therefore often necessary to resort to paraclinical means of diagnosis and assessment of expansion, such as endoscopy, conventional X rays and tomography. Endoscopy and conventional X rays give poor results but may be used if there is a lack of equipment or for an initial examination, to be followed by assessment using other methods. Tomography remains the most effective technique and is recommended for the diagnosis of cancers of the cavum and for assessment of their local and regional expansion.

RESUMO

The aim of this study was to identify the principal deficiencies and difficulties associated with the treatment of primary digestive lymphomas at Yaounde. We analyzed the medical records of 46 patients treated at Yaounde General Hospital over a period of 7 years (January 1989 to December 1996). The study population consisted of 24 men (52%) and 22 women (48%), giving a sex ratio of 1.08. The mean age of the patients was 49 years (range: 18 to 80 years). The treatment of these patients was not always optimal, due largely to socioeconomic and technical factors. We observed cases of very late diagnosis in which the histological data were imprecise or incomplete, in the absence of modern histological techniques. Assessment of the expansion of tumors was frequently inadequate, due to the absence of scanners or the inability to pay for their use. These problems, and the high cost of chemotherapy and radiotherapy, have severely limited the efficacy of treatment, resulting in poorer responses to treatment than reported elsewhere. In conclusion, national solidarity and cooperation at the regional and international levels seem to be necessary in these clinical conditions, to overcome these obstacles and to improve the quality of treatment for patients in general, and for those with primary digestive lymphomas in particular.

RESUMO

Testicular cancer is believed to be rare among members of the black sub-Saharan population and has therefore been little studied in Africa. This may account for the problems encountered in the treatment of this condition, which are perfectly illustrated by this clinical case. We present here a brief report of the optimal diagnostic methods and therapeutic indications for this malignant disease.

RESUMO

From February 1989 through February 1993, a group of 23 patients suffering from T1 mammary carcinoma small T2 N-MO was treated in the radiotherapy department of the Yaoundé General Hospital, according to a simplified procedure. A first conservative surgery of tumorectomy type (3 cases) and quandrantectomy type (4 cases) was carried out, followed by a postoperative irradiation. In 14 cases, a Patey type radical surgery preceded a local/regional radiotherapy. The general treatment was made up of only a hormonotherapy without chemotherapy. After a 4-year decline, there were 5 cases--i.e. 23.8%--of ganglionic and/or metastatic relapse. In the light of research data, we are analysing the reasons for these unexpected therapeutic failures in this group of tumor considered as favorable prognosis. We raised the problem of the inability of the prognosis factors, presently defined by means of histological and biological factors, to detect all the especially aggressive cancers. We carried out a general review of the new factors defined essentially from molecular and genic bases. We offered an approximative solution which makes it possible to by-pass the technological difficulties in having access to the new factors.

RESUMO

Superior vena cava thrombosis (SVCT) is a rare pathology, though of great significance since it implies the development of a malignant process. The most common etiologies are basically bronchopulmonary and mediastinal tumors. Observations involving 2 patients presenting with superior vena cava syndrome (SVCS) are reported in this study, in which radiologic investigations (chest roentgenogram, computed tomography scan of the thorax, and superior vena cavography) revealed thrombosis of the SVC disclosing in both cases a non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. The first case was a mediastinal Burkitt's lymphoma in a thirty-eight-year-old man (exceptional form) and in the second case a lymphoblastic non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in a nine-year-old girl. In the patient with Burkitt's lymphoma healing was satisfactory twenty-four months after treatment by surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy. The second patient died suddenly. In both cases the SVCT revealed the tumor. The causes of SVCT are reviewed and discussed.

RESUMO

The aim of this study was to present the sites of cancers diagnosed in men and women aged 50 years and above in Cameroon. From the registries of the pathology laboratory of the Yaoundé Central Hospital which at the national level receives the majority of samples sent for histopathology analysis, we recorded all cases of cancers diagnosed in people aged 50 years and above, during the period from 1st January 1987 to 31st August 1996 (9 years 8 months). 1,925 cancers were recorded: -1,005 of these (52.2%) were issued from men aged fifty years and above. These 1,005 cancers came from seventeen sites, the most common being: liver (226 cases = 22.49%), prostate (222 cases = 22.09%), skin (195 cases = 19.40%) and ENT (100 cases = 9.95%); that made 73.93% (above 3/4) of cancers observed in men aged fifty years and above from this study. -920 of these (47.8%) were diagnosed from women aged fifty years and above. These 920 cancers came from twenty-two sites, the most common being: uterine cervix (292 cases = 31.74%), breast (170 cases = 18.48%), skin (111 cases = 12.07%) and liver (90 cases = 9.78%); that made 72.07% (about 3/4) of cancers observed in women aged fifty years and above, from this study.

RESUMO

Over a 3-year period, 111 patients presenting histologically documented cervical carcinoma were treated in the Department of Cancerology and Radiotherapy at the General Hospital in Yaounde, Cameroon. Available therapeutic modalities included surgery and radiation therapy with a mean energy of 1.25 Mev of cobalt 60 which were used alone or in combination. Therapeutic strategies had to be adapted to these poor facilities based on poor pretreatment assessment of involvement. Thirty-two patients were not treated using both surgery and radiation therapy due to either insufficient financial resources or advanced disease. Seventy-nine patients were treated with both surgery and radiation therapy in various combinations depending on initial disease stage. The low quality of results was directly related to poor pretreatment assessment of extent and the unavailability of endobrachytherapy.

RESUMO

Les auteurs procedent a une etude retrospective de 36 patients; porteurs d'une hypertrophie de la thyroide; sur un bilan clinique; echographique; hormonal; chirurgical et anatomo-pathologique. Ils notent comme beaucoup d'auteurs une absence de specificite entre les aspects cliniques echographiques et histologiques. Ils preconisent un examen echographique systematique pour le bilan d'une masse thyroidienne; car dans un contexte comme celui du Cameroun sans examen scintigraphique; l'echographie bien que non specifique est plus sensible que l'examen clinique; elle permet un bon bilan diagnostique; revelant des criteres de presomption de benignite ou de malignite. Associee a la cytoponction echo-guidee; elle ameliore la precision diagnostique; permettant un traitement plus efficace

RESUMO

Cent onze malades presentant un cancer du col uterin histologiquement confirme ont ete traitees et suivies pendant une periode de quatre annees a l'Hopital General de Yaounde. Les moyens therapeutiques comportaient uniquement l'utilisation d'une maniere parfois isolee; mais le plus souvent en association des rayons gamma d'une energie moyenne de 1;25 Mev du CO60 et de la chirurgie. En effet; les auteurs dispose d'un plateau technique qui ne contient toujours pas de possibilites d'exploitation des avantages de la plesiocurietherapie et de l'endocurietherapie. Ils expliquent dans ce travail comment ils ont du prendre en consideration ces insuffisances techniques pendant le choix des strategies et modalites therapeutiques
