To describe the epidemiological and histological aspects of cancers in Togo.<jats:italic>Materials and Methods<\/jats:italic>. We made a retrospective review of the epidemiological and pathological features of cancers observed from 1984 to 2008 at the laboratory of pathology of CHU-TOKOIN in Lom\u00e9, Togo.<jats:italic>Results<\/jats:italic>. During our study period, we found 5251 cases of cancers with an annual average frequency of 210 cases. The sex ratio, male\/female, was 0.9 and the average age of occurring was 45.3 years. This average age was 46.9 years for men and 43.8 years for women. The most frequent cancers for men were prostate cancer (12.9%), nonmelanoma skin cancer (10.4%), and gastric cancer (10.3%). For women it was breast cancer (27.1%), cervix cancer (11.2%) and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (6.3%). Histologically, it was carcinomas in 68.1% of the cases, sarcomas in 11% of the cases and non-Hodgkin lymphomas in 12.6% of the cases. Children cancers were primarily Burkitt lymphoma (27.9% of cases) and retinoblastoma (8.5% of cases).<jats:italic>Conclusion<\/jats:italic>. This study shows that cancers are frequent in Togo and emphasizes on the necessity of having a cancer register for the prevention and the control of this disease in Togo.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2011\/319872","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,10,5]],"date-time":"2011-10-05T15:02:33Z","timestamp":1317826953000},"page":"1-7","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":19,"title":["Cancers in Togo from 1984 to 2008: Epidemiological and Pathological Aspects of 5251 Cases"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2011","author":[{"given":"Koffi","family":"Am\u00e9gbor","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratoire d'Anatomie et Cytologie Pathologiques, CHU Tokoin, Lom\u00e9, Togo"},{"name":"Facult\u00e9 Mixte de M\u00e9decine et de Pharmacie, Universit\u00e9 de Lom\u00e9, BP 1515, Lom\u00e9, Togo"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tchin","family":"Darre","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratoire d'Anatomie et Cytologie Pathologiques, CHU Tokoin, Lom\u00e9, Togo"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Koffi Didier","family":"Ay\u00e9na","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Service d'Ophtalmologie, CHU Kara, Togo"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Essohana","family":"Padaro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratoire d'H\u00e9matologie Clinique, CHU Tokoin, Lom\u00e9, Togo"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kodjo","family":"Tengu\u00e9","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pavillon Militaire, Service de Chirurgie, CHU Tokoin, Lom\u00e9, Togo"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Anani","family":"Abalo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pavillon Militaire, Service de Chirurgie, CHU Tokoin, Lom\u00e9, Togo"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Gado","family":"Napo-Koura","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratoire d'Anatomie et Cytologie Pathologiques, CHU Tokoin, Lom\u00e9, Togo"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"98","reference":[{"key":"1","series-title":"IARC Scientific Publications no. 160","year":"2007"},{"key":"2","series-title":"IARC Cancer Base no. 5, version 2.0","year":"2004"},{"key":"3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"56","DOI":"10.1007\/s12558-008-0008-6","volume":"1","year":"2009","journal-title":"Journal Africain du Cancer"},{"key":"5","series-title":"IARC Scientific Publications no. 153","year":"2003"},{"key":"6","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"207","DOI":"10.1007\/s12558-009-0052-x","volume":"1","year":"2009","journal-title":"Journal Africain du Cancer"},{"issue":"11","key":"7","first-page":"1101","volume":"79","year":"1992","journal-title":"Bulletin du Cancer"},{"key":"8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3322\/canjclin.57.1.43"},{"key":"10","year":"2001"},{"key":"11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1182\/blood.V98.12.3406"},{"key":"12","first-page":"230","volume":"55","year":"2008","journal-title":"M\u00e9decine d'Afrique Noire"},{"issue":"2","key":"13","first-page":"117","volume":"97","year":"2004","journal-title":"Bulletin de la Societe de Pathologie Exotique"},{"issue":"7","key":"14","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1457","DOI":"10.1002\/cncr.20910","volume":"103","year":"2005","journal-title":"Cancer"}],"container-title":["Journal of Cancer Epidemiology"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/jce\/2011\/319872.pdf","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/jce\/2011\/319872.xml","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/jce\/2011\/319872.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2017,6,20]],"date-time":"2017-06-20T03:32:23Z","timestamp":1497929543000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"http:\/\/www.hindawi.com\/journals\/jce\/2011\/319872\/"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2011]]},"references-count":12,"alternative-id":["319872","319872"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1155\/2011\/319872","relation":{},"ISSN":["1687-8558","1687-8566"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1687-8558","type":"print"},{"value":"1687-8566","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2011]]}}}
