“…On the one hand, and by the dominance of traditional medicine and the poverty of the population-the great majority of whom live in rural areas or are unemployed-and traditional medicine on the other. This delay was also noted in the findings of research conducted in Morocco by Ammani et al in 2007, which revealed that two-third of patients had their consultations later than expected and were also identified at a late stage (Fofana et al, 2017).…”

“…According to the latest global figures, one in five men and one in six women will develop cancer in their lifetime, and one in eight men and one in eleven women will die from the disease (WHO, 2019). The findings of the Ivory Coast study conducted by Fofana and his colleagues in 2017 indicate that patients contacted late, with 85.6% doing so between 2 and 3 years after the commencement of clinical symptoms. This might be explained by illiteracy and a lack of awareness of illness symptoms.…”

By 2030, 70% of cancer-related deaths and 60% of new cases are expected to occur in southern countries, where the incidence of cancer is predicted to rise. Certainly, the socioeconomic impact, early deaths, and years of productive life wasted as a result of cancer sickness cause family poverty and completely destroy the development efforts of African nations (Circ, 2008; Breakaway, 2009). Thus, seeking oncology care is a complex process influenced by a multitude of factors; most studies carried out on cancer have shown a strong association between socio-economic factors and survival. Thereby; this study is carried out with the aim of identifying socio-economic factors; among other factors; influencing access to oncology care among poor and vulnerable patients with medical coverage (RAMED) in Morocco. To do this, we used a nonprobability sample of the accidental type of 180 patients treated in a public oncology hospital in the Fès-Meknes region. The data are from a primary survey administered to patients, during the month of June 2021. The results obtained show that access to oncology care among Ramedist cancer patients in Morocco is significantly influenced by socio-economic, cultural, geographical, and organizational factors.

“…In this study, we aimed to determine the characteristics of prostate cancer in younger adults and identify the determinants of the early screening and diagnosis of this pathology. The mean age of our study participants was 50.66 ± 5.31 years, which is less than the 68 years reported by Fofana et al [11] in the Ivory Coast in 2017 [11]. The difference can be accounted for by the fact that Fofana et al [11] studied a sample of patients with prostate cancer while we focused only on those aged 60 years and below.…”

Background: Prostate cancer which is the second most frequent cancer diagnosis made in men, more commonly occurs in the elderly. However, it sometimes occurs in younger men, especially in those with a family history of the condition. This study aimed to determine the characteristics of prostate cancer in younger adults and identify the determinants of the early screening and diagnosis of this pathology. Methods: We performed a retrospective study from 2012 to 2016 at the Centre medico-chirugical durologie in Douala Cameroon in which we included 29 patients aged 60 years or less who had prostate cancer diagnosed via histopathology after either prostate biopsy or palliative endoscopic prostate resection. Epi-info 7 was used for data analysis and the Kaplan-Meier curve was used to estimate the overall survival of the study participants. Results: The mean age of our study participants was 50.66 ± 5.31 years. Nine patients had a contributive family history of prostate cancer. Seventeen patients had metastases, with ten having bone metastases and thirteen having lymph node metastases. As initial therapy nine patients underwent laparoscopic total radical prostatectomy seven underwent medical Androgen Deprivation Therapy (ADT), ten underwent surgical ADT (bilateral pulpectomy), two underwent radiotherapy and one underwent active surveillance. Four patients underwent secondary treatment with two of them undergoing chemotherapy one undergoing ADT and one undergoing radiotherapy. Tumor recurrence occurred in seven patients. The rate of tumor recurrence was significantly higher among patients with a contributive family history. Six patients died in this study and the five-year overall survival of our study participants was 80%. Conclusion: Prostate cancer is a major public health issue not only in the elderly but also in younger men. Screening for this condition could be performed in younger patients too especially those with a contributive family history to ensure early diagnosis and reduce the morbidity and mortality associated with the condition.

“…We aimed to identify factors indicative of prostate cancer aggressivity and a poor prognosis in patients with the condition. In this retrospective study, we included 203 patients with a mean age of 64.76 ± 7.48 years, which is similar to the 68 years reported by Fofana et al in the Ivory Coast in 2017 [20]. This similarity in the mean age can be explained by the fact that both studies were carried out in sub-Saharan African countries.…”

Background: Prostate cancer, which is the second most frequent cancer diagnosis made in men, more commonly occurs in the elderly. This disease is often diagnosed late in resource-limited settings, which results in people having advanced forms of the disease and a poor prognosis. This study aimed to identify factors indicative of prostate cancer aggressivity and a poor prognosis in patients with prostate cancer at a single center in Douala, Cameroon.Methods: We performed a retrospective study from 2015 to 2020 at the Centre medico-chirugical d'urologie in Douala, Cameroon, in which we included 203 patients aged 41 years to 85 years who had prostate cancer diagnosed via histopathology after either prostate biopsyor laparoscopic prostatectomy. Epi-info 7 was used for data analysis and logistic regression analyses were performed to identify factors associated with prostate cancer aggressivity and patients' outcomes (survival or mortality). Results: The mean age of our study participants was 64.76 ± 7.48 years. Ten patients had a contributive family history of prostate cancer. The patients presented with lower urinary tract symptoms in 61.58% of cases. All patients had serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels of >4 ng/ml, 100 patients were anemic, and 36 patients had aggressive forms of the disease. Eighty-eight patients had remarkable digital rectal examination (DRE) findings. The median prostate volume, as determined via transrectal ultrasonography (TRUS), was 59 [43 -80] ml. Fifty-nine patients had abnormal prostate echostructures, and 33 patients died during follow-up. The presence of paraplegia and the practice of professions requiring
