Background: Martinique is the second French Region with the lowest physician-to-population ratio, which may affect waiting times for access to care.
Objectives: To assess (i) factors influencing waiting times from diagnosis to cancer-related treatments in breast cancer women in Martinique, and (ii) the impact of waiting times on patients' survival.
Study Design: Retrospective observational study.
Article Synopsis
- The study analyzes breast cancer survival in women from Martinique between 2008-2017, focusing on various prognostic factors such as demographics, cancer stage, and hormone receptor status.
- A total of 1,708 patients were included, revealing a median age of 57 years, with 20.9% diagnosed with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) and one-year overall survival (OS) rates of 95.2%, dropping to 80.1% at five years.
- The findings highlight that metastatic disease, TNBC, HR+/HER2- status, and age over 75 significantly increase the risk of death, marking it as a crucial study for understanding breast cancer outcomes in this region.

Background: In a life-threatening context, the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology and the Royal College of Obstetrics and Gynaecology recommend a maximum delay of 30 min between the decision to perform an emergency caesarean and the infant's birth. Our objectives were to estimate the rate of prolonged intervals and identify the factors influencing the decision-to-delivery interval.
Methods: All women who had given birth at Saint-Etienne University Hospital by a non-prophylactic caesarean section between September 1 and November 1, 2007 were included in a prospective cohort study.
