Survival of patients operated on for breast cancer in Ouagadougou/Burkina Faso.

Background And Objectives: Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women. The objective is to study the survival of patients operated on for breast cancer.

Methods: Descriptive and analytical study of the survival of patients operated on for breast cancer between January 1, 2013 and December 31, 2020 in Ouagadougou.

Mutations in exon 11 (11.1 and 11.2) of the gene and risk factors for breast cancer in Burkina Faso.

Breast cancer is the leading cause of death among women in both developed and developing countries. It is multifactorial, including genetic predispositions such as oncogenic mutations on and 2 genes. The objectives of the present study were to identify oncogenic mutations in exon 11 of the gene and to determine the risk factors for breast cancer among women population in Burkina Faso.

Skin oncoplasties: O-to-Z technique a technique of choice in situation of limited resources? Case of Burkina Faso.

Background: In developing countries, the long delays in consultation lead to a delay in diagnosis and management of the skin tumors. The lesions are often large and bring the problem of skin coverage after their resections. Several reconstruction techniques allow skin coverage.

Retroperitoneal GIST: An exceptional location of a rare tumour. A case report from Ouagadougou and review of the literature.

Introduction: GIST can occur in all segments of the gastrointestinal tract with a predilection for the stomach. Retroperitoneal localization remains exceptional. We report a case to describe our diagnostic and therapeutic approach.

Breast cancer in West Africa: molecular analysis of BRCA genes in early-onset breast cancer patients in Burkina Faso.

Background: Breast cancer (BC) is the most commonly diagnosed cancer and the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths among women in Africa after cervical cancer. Even if the epidemiological data are now aligned with those relating to industrialized countries, the knowledge concerning breast cancer in Africa, particularly in Western Africa, still lack clinical data, medical treatments, and the evaluation of genetic and non-genetic factors implicated in the etiology of the disease. The early onset and the aggressiveness of diagnosed breast cancers in patients of African ancestry strongly suggest that the genetic risk factor may be a key component, but so far, very few studies on the impact of germ line mutations in breast cancer in Africa have been conducted, with negative consequences on prevention, awareness and patient management.

Carriage of HLA-DRB1*11 and 1*12 alleles and risk factors in patients with breast cancer in Burkina Faso.

Several factors contribute to the development of breast cancer, including the immune system. This study is aimed to characterize the carriage of human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-DRB1*11 and 1*12 alleles in patients with breast cancer. This case-control study consisted of 96 histologically diagnosed breast cancer cases and 102 controls (cases without breast abnormalities).

[Cancer of the vulva: Diagnostic stages, treatment and survival in a country with limited resources (Burkina Faso)].

Introduction: Vulvar cancer is rare and belatedly diagnosed in Africa. We describe its diagnostic stages, therapeutic and evolution features in a country with limited resources.

Methodology: Forty-seven cases of vulvar cancer diagnosed between 2013 and 2018 in Burkina Faso, were analyzed retrospectively.

Ectopic pheochromocytoma or paraganglioma of the ZUCKERKANDL organ: A case report and review of the literature.

Introduction: Paraganglioma of the ZUCKERKANDL organ are rare. Diagnosis is based on clinical, radiological and biological arguments. We report a case to describe our surgical procedure and insist on the necessity of preoperative diagnosis.

Giant lipoma of the left mesocolon: Radiological and surgical aspects.

Introduction: Abdominal masses are common in digestive surgery and gastro-enterology units. However, meso-intestinal lipomas remain rare and lipoma of the left colon uncommon. We report a case of giant lipoma of the left mesocolon whose diagnosis was highly guided by radiological examinations.

A case report of Villar's nodule in a woman without surgical history.

Introduction: Villar's nodule is an umbilical endometriosis without anterior or ongoing pelvic endometriosis. The primitive location of this nodule at the umbilical level is rare. Its etiopathogenesis remains unclear.

CT Features of Saba Senegalensis (a Tropical Fruit) in Patients with Abdominal Pain.

Saba senegalensis (SS) is a well-known and commonly eaten fruit in Western Africa, especially in the rainy season when it is abundant. The ingestion of its seeds may cause abdominal pain and bowel obstruction. This cause might not be recognized by radiologists who are not aware of SS CT features.

Male breast cancer: diagnosis stages, treatment and survival in a country with limited resources (Burkina Faso).

Background: Male breast cancer is a rare and less known disease. Therapeutic modalities affect survival. In Burkina Faso, male breast cancers are diagnosed in everyday practice, but the prognosis at short-, middle-, and long-term remains unknown.

Pattern of relapse in low-risk breast cancer patients followed within a community care network.

International guidelines have set the frame and methods of patients' surveillance after early breast cancer (BC) treatment. Since 1998, delegation of low-risk BC patients follow-up to nonhospital practitioners has been developed within a care network in the Paris region. We used the Gynecomed care network digital database to describe the characteristics of oncological events which occurred in the cohort, and to assess the quality of BC follow-up in relapsing patients.

Cancer of the vulva in Burkina Faso: a hospital-based case series.

Background: Vulvar cancer is a rare gynaecological cancer. In Burkina Faso, the diagnosis of vulvar cancers is delayed and the prognosis is poor. However, no specific study on vulvar cancers has been conducted at the moment.

[Synchronous bilateral breast cancer and pregnancy: about 3 cases at Joliot Curie institute of Dakar (Senegal)].

To describe our diagnostic and therapeutic strategy against synchronous, bilateral breast cancer during the pregnancy. Gestational age at diagnosis of cancer was 7; 21 and 25 weeks respectively. Patients had stage IV and IIIA of breast cancer in two and one case respectively.

[Tourniquets, a drama in the infant: about 3 cases].

The time limit for the removal of a tourniquet is short; any delay in tourniquet deflation, especially if it exceeds the 3 hour limit, exposes to amputation hazards. Our objective was to report three cases of ischemic limb gangrene, caused by having forgotten to take a tourniquet off after a blood sampling, to inform healthcare professionals about the risk associated with that negligence. We encountered 3 cases of infants (2 three-month-old infants and 1 five-month-old infant), hospitalized in intensive care unit of Yalgado Ouédraogo University Hospital for upper-left limb swelling.
