Abstract: Background: Endometrial cancer is the most frequent ontological pathology in postmenopausal disassociated with abnormal uterine bleeding. Different studies have found a significant relationship between increased endometrial thickness and the risk of EC. Objectives: We aimed to study an endometrial cancer clinical presentation, factor and the type of endometrial cancer in relation to the endometrial thickness, in tumor therapy and cancer research center (TTCRC) in Shendi city. Methodology: This is a descriptive cross-sectional Hospital–based study including 120 Sudanese women attend the (TTCRC), the data were collected by questionnaire from histopathology laboratory and medical statistical department. Results: The mean age of our participants was 57.9± years. Multi 78 porous was observed in 64 cases (53.3%), Obesity (≥30–39.9BMI) in 43cases (35.8%), just12cases (10%) had family history with EC, and post-menopausal bleeding in 47 cases (39.5%). There were 68 cases (56.7%) of Aden carcinoma (with squamous differentiation) and 40 cases (33.3%) their endometrial thickness 4-10 mm. There were significant association between endometrial thickness and, type EC (all P<0.05), and significant with age and clinical presentation (P=0.027). Conclusion: the in cadence of EC in the patients was higher in age <50 years, Multi-parous, BMI ≥ 30kg/m2, PMB was higher ate clinical presentation, Aden carcinoma (with squamous differentiation were common type of EC, most of the cases the in endometrial thickness were 4-10 mm and we found significant association with Type EC.

Abstract: Cervical cancer persists to be a major public health concern in low- and middle-income countries such as Nigeria, where limited healthcare access and awareness contribute to high morbidity and mortality rates among women. This study, conducted in the context of Ezinihitte Mbaise Local Government Area (L.G.A) in Imo State, Nigeria, aims to fill a data gap by assessing postmenopausal women's awareness of cervical cancer concepts. A cross sectional study design was adopted for the study. The method adopted in this study is a qualitative method that utilized a well-structured questionnaire & focused group discussions in collecting information from menopausal women who attended a free medical outreach organized by the researcher in three different zones (Ezi east, Ezi west, and Ezi center) in Ezinihitte Mbaise LGA through the help research assistant. The results indicated a significant lack of awareness, with 55.1% of participants unfamiliar with cervical cancer. Notably, 43.9% of women exhibited awareness, primarily among those with higher educational backgrounds. On Educational qualification, those with primary education had the highest percentage (36.4%), followed by informal education (31.7%) while tertiary education was the lowest among the participants (4.6%). This study underscores the urgent need for targeted awareness campaigns and educational initiatives to address the notably low levels of cervical cancer awareness among post-menopausal women. Integrating cancer screening education into routine healthcare services can as well empower women with vital information and contribute to a proactive approach towards cervical cancer prevention.
