Predictors of locally advanced disease at presentation and clinical outcomes among cervical cancer patients admitted at a tertiary hospital in Botswana

International Journal of Gynecological Cancer Jul 09, 2018

Nassali MN, et al. - Researchers sought to determine the prognosticators of locally advanced disease at presentation and clinical outcomes among cervical cancer patients in Botswana. In this retrospective review conducted between August 2016 and February 2017 at the Princess Marina Hospital, 149 medical records of new cervical cancer patients were analyzed. As per findings, lack of cervical cancer screening, vaginal bleeding, low abdominal pain and unmarried status were noted to be associated with advanced disease at presentation. Scaled-up cervical cancer screening and integrating it into routine human immunodeficiency virus care is recommended. Capacity building in gynecologic oncology and palliative care services is currently critical.
