In Morocco, the epidemiological profile of cervical cancer is not well established. The focus of the present study was both epidemiological and pathological characteristics.
For all cases of cervical cancer treated between 2003 and 2007 in the National Institute of Oncology and the Oncology Department of the IbnRochd hospital (Casablanca), 900 cases were randomly selected.
The mean age was 52.1±11.8 years. The most (90.5%) represented histological type was squamous cell carcinoma. For more than 57.0% cases the mean distance between patient's origin and center of treatment was greater than 100 km. According to the FIGO classification, only 17.2% of patients were identified as being in early stages (0 and I). For 72.2% patients the follow-up did not exceed 2 years. At 1 year of following-up 55.8% of patients were alive and 43.4% were lost to following-up.
Our study addressed the issue of the burden of cervical cancer in Morocco. The result provides a basis for decision-makers for the development of strategic measures to implement the fight against cervical cancer in Morocco.
在摩洛哥,宫颈癌的流行病学特征尚未明确。本研究的重点是流行病学和病理学特征。
在国家肿瘤研究所和伊本·罗奇德医院(卡萨布兰卡)肿瘤科室于2003年至2007年期间治疗的所有宫颈癌病例中,随机选取了900例。
平均年龄为52.1±11.8岁。最常见(90.5%)的组织学类型为鳞状细胞癌。超过57.0%的病例中,患者的居住地与治疗中心之间的平均距离大于100公里。根据国际妇产科联盟(FIGO)分类,仅17.2%的患者被确定为早期(0期和I期)。72.2%的患者随访时间不超过2年。随访1年时,55.8%的患者存活,43.4%失访。
我们的研究探讨了摩洛哥宫颈癌负担问题。研究结果为决策者制定在摩洛哥开展宫颈癌防治战略措施提供了依据。
