Résumé


But: D©montrer lâimportance des examens dâimagerie m©dicale et du soutien familial avant et apr¨s une mastectomie pour cancer de sein.

Mat©riel et M©thode: Entre mars 2010 et d©cembre 2012 une campagne de sensibilisation contre le cancer de sein men©e   Kinshasa (RD Congo) a suivi des femmes avec cancer de sein avant et apr¨s mastectomie. Le follow-up ©tait fait dâ©chographies abdominales et de radiographies du thorax face et profil. La radioth©rapie, la chimioth©rapie ainsi que lâhormonoth©rapie ©tant souvent indisponibles, le seul traitement possible qui reste pour ces femmes avec cancer du sein est la mastectomie.

R©sultat: 497 sur 4315 participantes ont rapport© une masse palpable, dont 162 se sont pr©sent©es   lâh´pital pour une mammographie, une ©chographie mammaire et une biopsie ©cho guid©e. 47% (76/162) ont une tumeur au stade III. 22% (21/162) nâont pas eu de traitement: 4 sont d©c©d©s 2 ans apr¨s le diagnostic, 7 ont refus© le traitement par mastectomie, 10 nâont plus jamais donn© signe de vie. Seules les femmes bien entour©es par leur famille ont suivi un traitement complet.

Conclusion: Si lâ©chographie et la mammographie sont disponibles avec un personnel form©, les tumeurs du sein seraient d©couvertes plus petites et, dans lâabsence de radio- ou chimioth©rapie, lâimpact dâune mastectomie sur le suivi serait plus grand.

Les femmes devraient ªtre encourag©es dans leur d©cision du traitement, non seulement par leurs familles, mais ©galement par le gouvernement.

SUMMARY

Objective: To show the place of imaging and of the support of the family before and after the decision to treatment (in casu mastectomy) for breast cancer.

Methods and materials: Between March 2010 and December 2012 an awareness campaign was conducted in Kinshasa (DR Congo), women who felt a palpable mass were advised to go for a mammography, ultrasound and biopsy if necessary. For the diagnosis of metastases, ultrasound of the abdomen and chest X-ray were performed. Because neither radiotherapy nor chemo-hormonal treatment are available in Kinshasa, mastectomy was the only available treatment. An evaluation of the stage of breast cancer and the number of women who followed treatment was done.

Results: Four thousand three hundred and fifteen women participated in the campaign and 497 women felt a palpable mass, 162 of them consulted the radiologists for a mammography, ultrasound and biopsy. Of these 162 patients 47% (76/162) presented with a stage III cancer. This study showed that 22% of the women (21/162) never received any treatment: 4 women died within 2 years after diagnosis, 7 women refused a mastectomy and 10 never showed up again. Only women who were well supported by their husband and family underwent a complete treatment.

Conclusion: If ultrasound and more specifically mammography would be available, malignant tumors would be smaller at diagnosis and mastectomy could have a larger impact on the survival. Women should be supported during diagnosis and treatment; not only by their family and friends but by the government as well by means of financial support.
