  • Title: [Epidemiology of colorectal cancer in the Ivory Coast].
    Author: Soubeyrand J, Condat JM, Leleu JP, Ticolat R, Niamkey E, Beda BY.
    Journal: Sem Hop; 1983 Jan 27; 59(4):252-4. PubMed ID: 6301055.
    Abstract:
    Several epidemiologic studies using data from hospital departments and from the pathological department of the Abidjan University show that colorectal cancer is infrequent in Ivory Coast (2% of all cancers). The incidence of the various factors classically incriminated in colic carcinogenesis is analyzed and discussed: precancerous conditions (adenomas, polyps, inflammatory bowel disease), histogenesis (condition of the colic mucosa) and nutritional factors. Constipation, which is very common in spite of a high intake of fibers, cannot be regarded as a predisposing factor.
