Describe the epidemiological and histological aspects of the prostate cancer in Togo.
It was a retrospective descriptive study relating to 202 cases diagnosed between 1984 and 2003 at the Laboratory of Pathology of the Tokoin teaching hospital of Lome. The parameters studied were: frequency, age, circumstances of discovery, PSA value and histological type.
The frequency of prostate cancer was 10 cases on average. The average age of patients was 70 years (45 to 95 years). The circumstances of discovery were dominated by voiding disorders and the average PSA was 88.5 ng/ml (7.8 to 560.4). Histologically, it was adenocarcinoma in 97.5% of cases and squamous cell carcinoma in 1.9% of cases.
The prostate cancer although uncommon in Togo remains a public health problem because of the weak accessibility of the population to the diagnosis. So, a national program of screening is needed.
描述多哥前列腺癌的流行病学和组织学特征。
这是一项回顾性描述性研究,涉及1984年至2003年在洛美托科因教学医院病理实验室诊断的202例病例。研究的参数包括:发病率、年龄、发现情况、前列腺特异性抗原(PSA)值和组织学类型。
前列腺癌的平均发病率为10例。患者的平均年龄为70岁(45至95岁)。发现情况以排尿障碍为主,平均PSA为88.5纳克/毫升(7.8至560.4)。组织学上,97.5%的病例为腺癌,1.9%的病例为鳞状细胞癌。
前列腺癌在多哥虽不常见,但由于民众难以获得诊断,仍然是一个公共卫生问题。因此,需要开展全国性筛查项目。
