Abstract

Introduction: In Gabon, cervical cancer is second only to breast cancer. Urological complications such as ureteral obstruction and hydronephrosis can occur in the course of this pathology. This work aimed to evaluate the impact of hydronephrosis on the overall survival of patients. Patients and Methods: the records of patients followed at the ICL from January 1, 2015, to December 31, 2019, a period of 5 years, were collected. The study included patients followed for cervical cancer and who had a complete medical record: histological evidence and extension workup. Patients not followed up at ICL were not included in the study. Results: the records of 183 patients with cervical cancer during the study period were retained. The mean age was 55.3±14.1 years, with extremes of 21 and 89 years. Stages II, III, and IV accounted for 87.4% of cancers, and stages III and IV (51.3%) represented the majority of clinical stages. In univariate survival analyses, assessed from the date of cancer diagnosis, patients with hydronephrosis during their cancer had poor survival compared with those without. Patients who had no hydronephrosis had better overall survival at three years (85%) compared with those who had developed urologic complications (54%). Conclusion: hydronephrosis has a negative effect on the prognosis of cervical cancer, and indeed, it significantly decreases the overall survival of patients with cervical cancer. Therefore, it is essential to screen them systematically to treat them as effectively as possible.
