  ABSTRACT: Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in Western countries, with an incidence progressively increasing in developing countries. Worldwide, colorectal cancer is the second and third leading cause of death by cancer in females and males respectively. According to the Martinique Cancer Register data, colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of death by cancer in women, and the fourth in men. Colorectal cancer exhibits a variable distribution worldwide. This study was conducted to observe variations in colorectal incidence and mortality rates observed over a twenty-year period. Such data will be useful for monitoring changing trends related to onset of an organized screening program. Patients with colorectal cancer diagnosed from 1981 to 2000 in Martinique were included in this study. Data are obtained from the Martinique Cancer Register. The incidence of colorectal cancer in Martinique (16/100,000 and 17/100,000 in the female and male population respectively in the year 2000) is intermediary compared with other countries worlwide. There is a current trend towards increased incidence and mortality. The incidence has increased for cancers localized in the proximal colon, the sigmoid colon and the rectum. The increasing incidence of colorectal cancer in all localisations raises concern in Martinique. A significant predominance of colorectal cancer incidence among the male population in Martinique was not observed. Gender and age do not appear to imply any preferential localisation of colorectal cancer.

  ABSTRACT: A pilot cervix cancer screening is organized in Martinique since 1991, as part of the programmes of the Fonds National de Prévention d'Education et d'Information Sanitaire of CNAMTS. Evaluation of the programme is conducted by the cancer registry, which includes the measurement of the impact, quality of the Pap smear test, quality of action and efficiency of the programme. Evaluation is a key part that allows to manage the screening programme. According to the results of the organized screening in Martinique, modalities of the evaluation will be discussed with respect to the pilot programme organization, involvement of participants, indicators to collect and the organism in charge of the evaluation.

  ABSTRACT: The epidemiology of melanoma in populations of African-European descent has rarely been reported. The authors studied melanoma in the French West Indies (Martinique), where black Caribbeans and whites represented 96% and 4% of the population, respectively. Among the 85 cases of melanoma collected from 1976 to 1995, blacks represented 75% and whites, 25%. The average incidence rates were 1.48 and 0.9 per 100,000 per year in females and males, respectively. The sole of the foot represented 72% of the primary sites in blacks. Breslow's tumor thickness was > 1.5 mm in 68% of the cases. The 5-year survival was 44%.

  ABSTRACT: Drug-induced panniculitis are uncommon. We report the second case of panniculitis induced by MINE chemotherapy. A 31-year-old woman with relapsed Hodgkin disease was treated with MINE cytostatic regimen. Multiple erythematous and painful nodules of panniculitis developed on her chest, abdomen and thighs fifteen days after the beginning of drug administration with a second flare up after second administration of the same drugs. The eruption cleared slowly after treatment withdrawal. To our knowledge, our case is the second reported case of panniculitis induced by MINE chemotherapy. Drug-induced panniculitis is uncommon and usually induced by steroid treatment. Some cases of panniculitis induced by atenolol, potassium bromide, apomorphine, interferon alpha and interleukin 2 have been described. Few cutaneous adverse effects are reported with MINE chemotherapy: rash, erythema and swelling of extremities. A case of inflammatory swelling of thighs with hemorrhagic panniculitis due to this treatment has been described recently.

Son incidence est en augmentation progressive dans les pays émergents. Dans le monde, il est par ordre de fréquence au deuxième et au troisième rang respectivement chez la femme et chez l'homme. D'après les données du registre des cancers de la Martinique, le cancer colorectal est par ordre de fréquence au deuxième rang chez la femme et au quatrième chez l'homme. On observe une disparité de la répartition des cancers colorectaux dans le monde. L'intérêt de ce travail est d'étudier les variations des incidences et des taux de mortalité de ce cancer sur 20 ans. Ces données vont permettre de suivre les modifications inhérentes à l'instauration d'un futur dépistage organisé.MéthodeCette étude a porté sur des patients suivis pour cancer colorectal en Martinique de 1981 à 2000. Les données ont été recueillies par le registre des cancers de la Martinique.RésultatsLa Martinique se situe parmi les pays à taux d'incidence intermédiaire au niveau mondial avec une incidence de 16 et 17 sur 100 000 habitants, respectivement chez la femme et chez l'homme en 2000. Une augmentation de la mortalité et des incidences est à signaler. Cette incidence des cancers colorectaux est en augmentation tant pour le côlon proximal que pour le sigmoïde et le rectum.ConclusionL'augmentation de l'incidence concerne toutes les localisations. Il n'y a pas de prédominance significative de l'incidence des cancers colorectaux chez l'homme. Il n'y a ni de localisation privilégiée de cancer colorectal pour une tranche d'âge donnée, ni de prédominance d'une localisation pour l'un des sexes.
