Description
Objective: To study the epidemiological profile of urologic cancers in the department of urology at the teaching hospital of Cotonou. Methodology: We analysed the course of all urological cancer data over a 42-month period, from January the 1st 2008 to 30th June 2011. Results: Urologic cancers were frequent in our hospital practice with a frequency of 17,38 %. They are dominated by prostatic cancer (69 %), the cancer of bladder (28,5 %), the cancer of the kidney (8,5 %) and cancers of the external genitals (testis and scrotum) which are marginal in our review. We did not report any case of penis cancer and urethral cancer. They occured at an advanced age with an average age 62.89. ± 15.51. years. Urologic cancers were the prerogative of the subjects of male sex with a sex ratio of 9/10. Specific mortality rate which is attached to them was high. Conclusion: The epidemiologic profile of urologic cancers in our practice had some essential characteristic for the primary prevention. The improvement of the quality of data, the installation of a cancer register and the improvement of the technical skills will allowed a better approach of urologic cancer in our urology unit. © 2011 Elsevier Masson SAS.
