CANCER ON THE ISLAND OF SÃO VICENTE, CAPE VERDE: AUDIT OF CANCER REGISTRY OF HOSPITAL DR.BAPTISTA DE SOUSA (2018–2019)
Abstract
We describe the cases of cancer registered between 2018 and 2019 in the Oncological Registry of Hospital Dr. Baptist D’Souza. Sao Vicente Island, Cape Verde. There is also a critical assessment of its quality and an action plan. The five most registered types of cancer, in order of frequency, in the period (2018-2019) were: breast, prostate, oesophagus, cervix and stomach. We found that the oncological registration forms are not filled out, and the registrars have difficulties in accessing clinical files and complementary exams. This fact does not allow staging the disease at diagnosis. The lack of follow-up information prevents the assessment of survival. Cape Verde’s population-based cancer registry was recently created and the HBS cancer registry (ROHBS) is its source of information in the barlavento region of the country. In this sense, it is fundamental that the ROHBS be legalized, powers delegated to registrars and the creation of conditions for their work and normalization of activity.
