Abstract
Introduction: Mortality from cervical cancer remains very high in Mali. The insufficient early detection of cervical cancer means that this disease still kills many women in our country and is a public health problem at the cost. The objective was to determine the place of visual tests, visual inspection after application of acetic acid (IVA) and lugol solution (IVL) in the context of the prevention and fight against cervical cancer at the level of the service. of gynecology at the Mali hospital in Bamako. Material and Methods: We carried out an exhaustive descriptive retrospective study over three (3) years between 2018 and 2019, including 2351 women who participated in the voluntary and free screening of precancerous lesions of the cervix at the level of the gynecology department at the Mali hospital. Results: IVA was positive in 4.8% of cases versus IVL positive in 5.2% of cases. The mean age of women was 38.66 ± 9.83 years. Out-of-school women were the most affected by the disease 80% of cases. The frequency of low-grade dysplasia, moderate dysplasia and high-grade dysplasia was 1.5%, respectively; 1.4%; 1.3%. The overall frequency of precancerous cervical lesions was 4.2%. Conclusion: Early detection of cervical cancer by IVA / IVL visual tests is an effective means of preventing and combating cervical cancer. Awareness should be intensified among the illiterate rural population in order to minimize the incidence of this disease in our country.
