5. Conclusion
This study allowed us to know the epidemiological profile and
histological type of childhood cancers in Lubumbashi. This pathology is
a reality that is experienced in large numbers in our environment
diagnosis and early treatment remain essential to the reduction of the
mortality rate. The presence of new cases is increasing, although other
cases are under-diagnosed. The mortality rate is still very high with
many children lost to sight. The study also highlights the need to
properly manage case registration in a specific cancer registry that DR
Congo lacks for good epidemiological follow-up. In-depth studies are
useful to better understand the epidemiology of cancer in the city of
Lubumbashi.
