Objective. To describe the epidemiological and histological aspects of cancers in Togo. Materials and Methods. We made a retrospective review of the epidemiological and pathological features of cancers observed from 1984 to 2008 at the laboratory of pathology of CHU-TOKOIN in Lomé, Togo. Results. During our study period, we found 5251 cases of cancers with an annual average frequency of 210 cases. The sex ratio, male/female, was 0.9 and the average age of occurring was 45.3 years. This average age was 46.9 years for men and 43.8 years for women. The most frequent cancers for men were prostate cancer (12.9%), nonmelanoma skin cancer (10.4%), and gastric cancer (10.3%). For women it was breast cancer (27.1%), cervix cancer (11.2%) and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (6.3%). Histologically, it was carcinomas in 68.1% of the cases, sarcomas in 11% of the cases and non-Hodgkin lymphomas in 12.6% of the cases. Children cancers were primarily Burkitt lymphoma (27.9% of cases) and retinoblastoma (8.5% of cases). Conclusion. This study shows that cancers are frequent in Togo and emphasizes on the necessity of having a cancer register for the prevention and the control of this disease in Togo.
目的。描述多哥癌症的流行病学和组织学特征。材料与方法。我们对1984年至2008年在多哥洛美楚托科因大学医院病理实验室观察到的癌症的流行病学和病理特征进行了回顾性研究。结果。在我们的研究期间，我们发现了5251例癌症病例，年平均发病频率为210例。男女比例为0.9，平均发病年龄为45.3岁。男性的平均年龄为46.9岁，女性为43.8岁。男性中最常见的癌症是前列腺癌（12.9%）、非黑色素瘤皮肤癌（10.4%）和胃癌（10.3%）。女性则是乳腺癌（27.1%）、宫颈癌（11.2%）和非霍奇金淋巴瘤（6.3%）。组织学上，68.1%的病例为癌，11%的病例为肉瘤，12.6%的病例为非霍奇金淋巴瘤。儿童癌症主要是伯基特淋巴瘤（占病例的27.9%）和视网膜母细胞瘤（占病例的8.5%）。结论。这项研究表明癌症在多哥很常见，并强调在多哥有必要建立癌症登记制度以预防和控制这种疾病。
