Cervical Cancer: Sociodemographic, Clinical, Histological, and Therapeutic Characteristics at the Maternity Unit of Ignace Deen National Hospital, Conakry

<i>Introduction: </i>Cervical cancer remains a major public health problem, particularly in low-resource countries. The objective was to describe the sociodemographic, clinical, histological characteristics and the management of this disease in the department. <i>Methodology</i>: This was a retrospective descriptive study conducted from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2023. The study took place in the maternity unit of the National Hospital Ignace Deen. It included all patients hospitalized and managed for cervical cancer. All medical records of patients with histologically confirmed cervical cancer were included. Data collection was carried out through review of medical records using a survey form. <i>Results</i>: The frequency of cervical cancer was 39.5%, occurring most commonly in the 45–59-year age group (45.2%). Most patients were grand multiparous (45.1%), living in polygamous households (72.6%), and had no formal education (71.0%). The clinical presentation was dominated by metrorrhagia (98.4%) and hydrorrhea (85.5%). The cervix bled on contact in the majority of cases (82.3%), and parametrial infiltration was common. Stage IIB was the most frequent, and most tumors were squamous cell carcinomas. Treatment was primarily surgical, followed by chemotherapy. <i>Conclusion</i>: Cervical cancer is the most frequent gynecological cancer in the department. Diagnosis is often late, reducing therapeutic possibilities and survival chances.
