Introduction: As in the rest of the world, the prevalence of cancer is increasing in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).
However, in the absence of a national cancer registry, there are no reliable figures that would allow studies to be carried out in order
to improve the care of the patients concerned and to contribute to the training of young people in oncology.
Aim: The aim of this retrospective, documentary and mono-centric study was to document the cases of digestive cancers received at a
center specializing in digestive pathology, the first of its kind in the DRC, since its opening in June 2015; And to analyze the frequency
thereof.
Methods: All cases of digestive or ancillary cancers seen between June 2015 and May 2016 were retained. The parameters analyzed
were age, sex, diagnosis.
Results: The diagnosis of digestive cancer was established in 62 patients. There were 40 men and 22 women, with a sex ratio of 1.81.
The mean age was 57.7 years; with extremes of 24 and 91 years. The distribution of cancers is shown in table no. Colorectal cancer
in 20 cases out of 62, or 32%, of hepatocellular carcinoma in 12 cases, 19%, stomach cancer in 6 cases, 9.6%, stromal tumors in 5 8%,
pancreatic cancer in 5 cases, 8%, cholangiocarcinoma in 3 cases, or 4.8%, hepatic metastases of non-digestive primitive in 6 cases, or
9.6%, and "others" Tumors in 4 cases, or 6.4%.
Table: Breakdown and frequency of cancers.
Conclusion: Digestive and ancillary cancers are a reality in the DRC. In this preliminary series, colon cancer was more common
followed by hepatocellular carcinoma and stomach cancer.
The mean age of the patients was 57.7 years with a male predominance. It is urgent to organize the management of these pathologies
in the DRC.
