Carrying SNP rs17506395 (T > G) in gene and CCR5Δ32 mutation associated with the occurrence of breast cancer in Burkina Faso.

Genetic alterations in the (GenBank: NC_000003.12, ID: 8626) and (receptor 5 chemokine co-receptor) (GenBank: NC_000003.12, ID: 1234) genes may increase the risk of developing breast cancer.

Issues in the surgical management of skin squamous cell cancers in albinos-experience of two surgical oncology units in Burkina Faso.

Background And Objectives: Skin cancers in albinos are frequent in sunny countries. The surgeon plays a crucial role in their treatment. The objective was to describe the challenges of surgical management of skin cancer in albinos.

Surgery for primary malignant tumors of the abdominal wall: experiences of three African surgical oncology units and review of the literature.

Background And Objectives: Tumors of the abdominal wall are uncommon but diverse. The surgical challenge is double. The tumor must be completely removed and the abdominal wall repaired.

Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans surgery: Experiences of four African surgical oncology units and literature review.

Background And Objectives: Dermatofibrosarcoma is a locally malignant tumor. This gives surgery a place of choice. The advent of imatinib has improved outcomes.

Amendment with Burkina Faso phosphate rock-enriched composts alters soil chemical properties and microbial structure, and enhances sorghum agronomic performance.

Low soil available phosphorus (P) severely limits crop production in sub-Saharan Africa. The present study evaluated phosphate rock-enriched composts as locally available low-cost fertilizers for sorghum production. The treatments consisted of sorghum straw, compost (COMP), phosphate rock (BPR), BPR-enriched compost (P-COMP), BPR-rhizosphere soil-enriched compost (P-COMP-SOIL), nitrogen-phosphorus-potassium treatment (NPK, 60-39-25), and control (NK, 60-25).
