HIV has been associated with increased risks of certain kinds of malignancies. Cancer of the cervix is quite common in our environment and has been classified as an AIDS-defining malignancy in some countries. The objective of our study is to determine the prevalence of HIV sero-prevalence among patients attending our clinics with histologically confirmed Cancer of the Cervix.
All records of patients diagnosed with histologically confirmed Cancer of the Cervix in our clinic over a three-year period (2005 - 2007) were reviewed. Details included HIV status of the patients. Results were analyzed to determine the sero-prevalence of HIV among the patients
221 patients were seen during the period with age ranged between 29 and 85 years with a mean value of 55.08. More than 80% of the patients had disease stages of 2b and above. Only 6 patients (2.7%) were positive. The rest were negative.
The prevalence of HIV among patients with cancer of the cervix in our clinic is low compared to results from some other places in Africa.
HIV与某些恶性肿瘤风险增加有关。宫颈癌在我们所处环境中相当常见,在一些国家已被列为艾滋病界定的恶性肿瘤。我们研究的目的是确定在我们诊所就诊且经组织学确诊为宫颈癌的患者中HIV血清阳性率。
回顾了我们诊所在三年期间(2005 - 2007年)诊断为经组织学确诊宫颈癌患者的所有记录。详细信息包括患者的HIV状况。对结果进行分析以确定患者中HIV的血清阳性率。
在此期间共诊治221例患者,年龄在29至85岁之间,平均值为55.08岁。超过80%的患者疾病分期为2b及以上。仅6例患者(2.7%)呈阳性。其余均为阴性。
与非洲其他一些地方的结果相比,我们诊所宫颈癌患者中HIV的患病率较低。
