Aim: According to World Health Organization, prostate cancer is one of the increasing malignancies in men worldwide. This paper aims to describe the epidemiological, clinical, diagnostic, therapeutic, and evolutionary aspects of patients with early metastatic prostate cancer in a urology center in the city of Douala in Cameroon. Materials and Methods: It is a retrospective and descriptive study of 110 patients with prostate cancer that was immediately metastatic at diagnosis over a period of six years (from January 2014 to December 2020). Results: The average age of patients at diagnosis was 67.5 years (range: 45 years to 88 years) and 53.63% of patients had body mass indexes greater than 25. Disorders of the lower urinary tract were the main presenting complaint in 55.45% of cases, followed by bone and joint pain in 46.36% of cases. Digital rectal examination was suggestive of prostate cancer in 96.36% of cases with an average total prostatic specific antigen (PSAT) level of 676.9 ng/ml (range: 21.8 to 8832 ng/ml). The diagnosis was made through prostate biopsy in 57 (51.81%) patients or after palliative endoscopic resection of the prostate indicated for lower urinary tract symptoms or even acute urinary retention in 53 (48.18%) patients. Adenocarcinoma of the prostate was the main histologic type, and in 47.27% of cases, the tumor was poorly differentiated with a Gleason’s score of greater than 7. The sites of metastasis were mainly the lymph node (87.27%), bone (56.36%), and both (44.54%). The treatment was palliative and dominated by bilateral pulpectomy in 60% of cases and luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone agonists (Triptorelin 11.25 mg every 3 months) in 44 (40%) of cases. Conclusion: Prostate cancer is a real public health problem in developed countries but also in Africa, especially in Cameroon. It is aggressive cancer that is often diagnosed when metastasis has already occurred. Its management is essentially palliative.

Background: The world of cancer care is an emotional place, given the severity of the disease being treated, the heavy workload, the suffering of patients, and the high number of deaths. The nursing staff who work there may be exposed to constant stress from these factors. This study aimed to explore the psychological experience of the nursing staff of the Medical Oncology Department of the Yaoundé General Hospital. Methods: We carried out a cross-sectional study, in June 2017, involving the nursing staff of the Medical Oncology Department of the Yaoundé General Hospital. Results: Sixteen out of 18 nurses were interviewed. All had worked in at least one other department prior to Oncology. The number of years of experience in Oncology ranged from less than one year to 13 years. The choice of the Oncology department was involuntary for 100% of the staff;of these, 62% had intentions of changing departments. Twenty-five percent had applied for a change of department, which was unsuccessful. Stress was expressed by 94% of the staff;93% thought that there was a solution to the stress experienced on a daily basis in the Oncology department. The main solutions proposed to manage this stress were: support for the staff, provision of work materials, and staff training. Conclusion: The nursing staff of the Medical Oncology Department of the Yaoundé General Hospital experiences a high level of stress and are in need of solutions.

Management of Cervical Intra Epithelial Neoplasia by Loop Electrosurgical Excision Procedure in a Low Resource Country: An Experience from the YaoundéGeneral Hospital, Cameroon

引用

Open Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology 2015年第9期5卷 481-486页

作者： Jean Dupont Kemfang Ngowa Anny Ngassam Jovanny Fouogue Tsuala Juny Metogo zacharie sando Angèle Kabeyene Jean Marie Kasia Obstetrics and Gynecology Unit Yaoundé General Hospital Yaoundé Cameroon Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology Faculty of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences University of Yaoundé I Yaoundé Cameroon Department of Pathology Faculty of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences University of Yaoundé I Yaoundé Cameroon

Background: Cervical cancer is the third most common cancer worldwide, and 80% of cases occur in the developing world. A critical component of effective cervical cancer screening programs is the ability to offer women appropriate and effective treatment for cervical intra epithelial neoplasia (CIN). Objectives: This study aimed at assessing the primary experience of management of CIN by Loop Electrosurgical Excision Procedure (LEEP) in a low resource country. Methods: We carried out a descriptive cross sectional study at the Yaoundé General Hospital in Cameroon. Results: Twenty three cases of CIN were treated by LEEP. Mean age of patients was 40.5 ± 9.9 years. Six (26.1%) patients were infected by the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). LEEP was indicated in 21 (91.30%) cases for CIN2 and CIN3. The mean duration of the surgical procedure was 10 ± 3 minutes. There was one (4.3%) complication (persistent cervical bleeding). Surgical margins were negative for dysplasia or invasive carcinoma in 18 (78.26%) cases and non-applicable in 5 (21.73%) cases (thermal artefacts of margins and cervicitis without CIN). One patient with micro invasive carcinoma on post-operative histology was treated by total hysterectomy. Cervical cytology was normal at 6 months post LEEP for 15 cases out of 16 (93.8%) patients who performed the test. One woman achieved pregnancy and delivered a term baby. Conclusion: Treatment of CIN by LEEP is feasible, safe and effective in our setting.

Advances in Breast Cancer Research 2015年第2期4卷 44-52页

This study aimed to estimate the survival rate of breast cancer in a group of patients followed up at the Yaoundé General Hospital in Cameroon. A retrospective review of records of patients managed for breast cancer between 1995 and 2007 was carried out at the Yaoundé General Hospital. Survival analysis was carried out with survival defined as the time between the date of unequivocal diagnosis of cancer and the date of last follow-up or death. Survival curves were plotted in R.3.1.1 software. Mean age of the patients was 47.5 ± 12.36 years. Most of the patients (67.9%) presented with advanced breast cancer disease (stage III and IV). Overall patient survival rate was 30% at 5 years and 13.2% at 10 years. Median overall survival time was 2 (1.9 - 3) years. There was a correlation between survival and the stage of disease. The highest survival rates were recorded in stages I and II while the lowest rates were recorded in stage IV. There was no statistically significant difference in survival among the age groups (p = 0.15). Overall survival rates of breast cancer are 30% at 5 years and 13.2% at 10 years among Cameroonian patients and are lower compared with 90% and 82% respectively at 5 years and 10 years in some developed countries.
