Description
Fatoumata Tounkara and co-authors chart twenty-one years of cervical cancer survival at Mali's main teaching hospital. Their study appeared in 2026. Cervical cancer is Mali's most common cancer in women and its leading cancer killer, with most patients arriving late. Records for 3,112 women diagnosed from 2003 to 2024 were checked, and 3,083 entered the survival analysis. Median survival was about fifteen and a half months.
The team modeled which social and clinical factors predicted death, across an era when screening expanded and radiotherapy arrived. The authors say the long view shows where progress stalls: late diagnosis still dominates. Their numbers give Mali's planners a baseline for judging whether new programs actually move survival.
