Abstract

Introduction: The prevention of cervical cancer involves screening for precancerous lesions of the cervix using IVA/IVL visual tests, an approach to be popularized in countries with limited resources. The objective of this study was to contribute to the study of screening for precancerous conditions of the cervix at the center. Methods: it was a descriptive retrospective study lasting three (3) years (2016-2018), which involved all patients with precancerous lesions of the cervix detected by the IVA/IVL test coupled with histology at the Francophone Regional Training Center for the Prevention of Gynecological Cancer in Donka. Results: for 2784 patients seen at the center, 207 tested positive for VIA/IVL, including 153 cases of precancerous and/or cancerous lesions (153/207) for an overall frequency of 73.9%. The most affected age group was 35-54 years. The average age was 44.04 ± 11.65 years, with extremes of 21 and 76 years. Women most often resided in Conakry (71.1%), not attending school (66.7%), married (76.8%), premenopausal (59.5%), multiparous (72%) and had used at least one contraceptive method (57.5%). Atypical grade 1 transformation was most encountered at colposcopy (50.7%). Precancerous lesions were more common with 40.6% of cases, histology reported 33.3% of invasive cancer. IVA/IVL tests were 74% sensitive and 92% specific. Conclusion: IVA/IVL, is a very useful evaluation method in the study and diagnosis of CIN and invasive cancer. Histology remains the means of confirming the diagnosis.
