This is a retrospective descriptive report of endometrial cancer cases managed at a single hospital in Guinea over 15 years. It characterizes epidemiology, treatment patterns, and survival outcomes but lacks a control group or analytical comparison, limiting inference about prognosis or treatment efficacy.
Retrospective descriptive cohort study. Patients diagnosed with endometrial cancer at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Donka National teaching Hospital, Conakry, Guinea, over a 15-year period.. Intervention: Surgery (extrafascial hysterectomy with lymph node dissection and bilateral adnexectomy, or extended colpohysterectomy with lymphadenectomy and bilateral adnexectomy for advanced cases) and chemotherapy (49.5% of patients).. Donka National teaching Hospital, Conakry, Guinea.
Incidence of endometrial cancer was 2.4% 58.9% of patients were aged 60 and older Metrorrhagia occurred in 100.0% of consultation reasons

This report documents patterns of endometrial cancer presentation and management in a resource-limited setting but does not establish treatment efficacy or prognostic factors. It may inform local epidemiology but cannot guide clinical decision-making without comparative or analytical data.
A single-centre retrospective descriptive study over 15 years with no comparator, control group, or analytical design; reports incidence and outcomes but cannot test causation or establish clinical efficacy.

Introduction: The objective of this study was to contribute to the investigation of the epidemiological aspects, management, and prognosis of endometrial cancer at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Donka National teaching Hospital in Conakry. Methodology: This was a descriptive study involving the collection of retrospective data over a 15-year period from January 1, 2010, to December 31, 2024, focusing on cases of endometrial cancer. Results: The incidence of endometrial cancer was 2.4%. This cancer primarily affected patients aged 60 and older (58.9%), housewives (68.4%), married women (94.7%), and women with multiple pregnancies (49.5%). Metrorrhgia (100.0%) and abdominal-pelvic pain were the most frequently recorded reasons for consultation. Endometrial adenocarcinoma was the most common histological type (84.2%), and endometrial cancer was diagnosed as FIGO stage I in 34.7% of cases. Surgery was performed in 66.3% of patients, and 49.5% of them had received chemotherapy. Extrafascial hysterectomy with lymph node dissection and bilateral adnexectomy was the most commonly performed surgical procedure; extended colpohysterectomy with lymphadenectomy and bilateral adnexectomy was performed for more advanced cases. One-year survival was observed in 9 out of 10 patients, and five-year survival was recorded in nearly 4 out of 10 patients. Conclusion: Endometrial cancer is a common condition in our setting. Early diagnosis, prompt management, and improved access to chemotherapy and radiation therapy could improve patient prognosis.
