Background: Cervical cancer remains a public health problem.
Objective: This study sought to describe the epidemiological, diagnostic and therapeutic aspects of cervical cancer
using data from the population-based cancer registry of the city of Parakou from 2017 to 2022.
Method: This was a retro-prospective dynamic cohort study with descriptive purpose. The study covered the
period from January 1st, 2017 to December 31th, 2022.
Result: A total of 101 patients were diagnosed with cervical cancer from 2017 to 2022 regardless of the evidence
level. The age-standardized incidence rate was 25.6 cases per 100,000 person-years, while the mortality rate was
2.31 cases per 100,000 person-years. The mean age at diagnosis was 51.24 years ± 12.63 years. Cervical cancer
affected more householdwives (49.50%), illiterate (62.37%), menopausal women (65.35%) and multiparous
women (84.16%). Cervical cancer was diagnosed clinically (36.63%) and histopathologically (63.37%). The most
common histopathological type was squamous cell carcinoma (79.69%) followed by adenocarcinoma (15.63%).
Conventional treatment was used by 54.46% of patients. Surgery (23.76%) and chemotherapy (8.91%) were also
used.
Conclusion: Resources must be made available to ensure proper management of cervical cancer cases in Parakou.
