[Phalus sarcomatoid carcinoma, a case study].

The sarcomatoid carcinoma is a rare histological form, high grade malignancy, aggressive and dark prognosis. We report a (01) case in a young adult of 32 years. The aim of this work is to present, through a review of the literature, the epidemiological and morphological characteristics of this affection; and also to describe the difficulties that the pathologist may encounter in diagnosis of this condition.

Management of Advanced and Metastatic Prostate Cancer: A Need for a Sub-Saharan Guideline.

The estimated incidence rate of prostate cancer in Africa was 22.0/100,000 in 2016. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has cited prostate cancer as a growing health threat in Africa with approximated 28,006 deaths in 2010 and estimated 57,048 deaths in 2030.

Management of Renal Cell Carcinoma-Current Practice in Sub-Saharan Africa.

There is a global variation in the incidence of renal masses with the developed nations having a greater incidence. About 80-90% of renal malignancies are renal cell carcinomas (RCC) which account for 2-4% of all cancers. In Africa and the Middle East, the age-standardized incidence for RCC is 1.

A Review of Localized Prostate Cancer: An African Perspective.

Prostate cancer is the second most common malignancy in males and the sixth leading cause of cancer mortality in men with a relatively higher death rate in men of African descent. In the United States and other parts of Europe, more than 80% of diagnosed prostate cancer is localized, and 80-90% of these men receive some form of treatment. The projected data may not be a direct reflection of the disease in the sub-Saharan region as less than 40% presents with localized disease.
