Cervical Cancer Profile Summary for BENIN

• Morbidity and Mortality:

  • Crude cervical cancer incidence was 9.2 cases per 100,000 women in 2020.
  • Age-standardized incidence was 15.1 per 100,000 women in 2020.
  • Cumulative risk of cervical cancer by age 74 was 1.8% in 2020.
  • Cervical cancer deaths were 670 in 2019.
  • Mortality-to-incidence ratio was 0.66 in 2020.
  • A population-based cancer registry exists (as per 2021).
  • Risk factors include low tobacco use prevalence (0.31% among women aged 15+ years) and low condom use (data not available); HIV incidence data is not available.

• Primary Prevention:

  • HPV vaccination coverage is low, with less than 1% of 9-14-year-old girls vaccinated by 2020.
  • HPV is not included in the national vaccination program.
  • The scale of vaccination is limited, with coverage below target; introduction date and target cohort data missing.
  • Despite some HPV vaccine administration, coverage by age 15 is not available; target population vaccination rate is low.

• Secondary Prevention Screening:

  • No national cervical cancer screening program exists (as per 2021).
  • Primary screening test used is not specified; target age range and guidelines for early detection at primary health care level are absent.
  • No defined referral system from primary to secondary and tertiary care exists.
  • Low screening uptake: fewer than 10% of women aged 30-49 years have been screened in the past five years.

• Treatment and Supportive Care:

  • National guidelines on cervical cancer management are not available as of 2021.
  • Limited radiotherapy and brachytherapy units per cancer patient (data unavailable).
  • Cancer diagnosis and treatment services are scarce, with no mention of dedicated centers or sufficient medical staff per 10,000 cancer patients.
  • Specific human resources like radiation oncologists, pathologists, surgeons, radiologists, and nuclear medicine physicians are not reported or data is unavailable.
  • Palliative care is not specified for non-communicable diseases in the public system.

• WHO Cervical Cancer Elimination Strategy (2030 Targets):

  • The profile references the World Health Organization's strategy, but specific data for BENIN's progress toward elimination targets is not detailed. Goal includes high-performance screening and treatment coverage, but BENIN's efforts fall short.
