Background: In Mali, cancer patients are often diagnosed at stage III or IV. Tumor wounds are more frequent and associated with malodorous exudates, responsible for an altered quality of life and stigmatization of patients. Cinesteam Cinnamon Dressing is an adsorbent dressing designed to reduce odors.

Patients And Methods: This was a cross-sectional study from January 1, 2016 to October 31, 2021.
Aims: The aim of this study was to determine the association between vitamin D deficiency and advanced BC in a Malian women population.
Methods: This is a prospective cross-sectional study, conducted during 4 months, from August 2021 to November 2021. The assays were performed on immunodiagnostic and biochemistry devices in Rodolphe Merieux Laboratory.
(1) Background: Breast cancer is the most prevalent cancer found in women in Mali. The aim of the current study was to determine the association between metabolites circulating in the blood, 25(OH)D and 1,25(OH)D, and vitamin D levels with the risk of breast cancer in Malian women. (2) Methods: We conducted a prospective case-control study from August 2021 to March 2022.

- The MTHFR gene is important for processing folates and homocysteine, which can impact gene expression and potentially lead to breast cancer development; mutations in this gene may affect levels of certain compounds involved in protein synthesis and methylation.* -
- A study was conducted using the PCR-RFLP technique on 127 breast cancer patients and 160 healthy controls in Mali to analyze the genotypic profiles related to MTHFR mutations, revealing similar distributions of genotypes in both groups.* -
- The research found no significant association between MTHFR gene polymorphisms and breast cancer risk among the Malian population, indicating that these genetic variations did not influence the likelihood of developing the disease.*
In this review, we report a case of a bone's metastatic breast cancer in Malian patient treated by chemotherapy in whom SRAS-COV-2's diagnosis was made 9days after the onset gastrointestinal symptoms. Patient quickly died before any COVID-19's treatment. According to the poor outcomes of cancer patients with COVID-19, authors emphasize to an intensive attention to such patients in order to find the best therapeutic balance between the two pathologies during this pandemic.

It is characterized by early regional and systemic spread leading to rapid development of lymph nodes, pelvic and extrapelvic metastasis and compromising the outcome. In this paper, we reported three cases of ESCC confirmed by pathological and immunohistochemistry studies.
