Burkitt’s Lymphoma of the Uterine Cervix in a Woman with Advanced HIV Disease: A Case Report on Challenges with Its Management in a Low Resource Setting
A long waiting list for chemoradiation in low resource settings may delay management of advanced BL of the cervix. Inadequate cervical cancer screening and delays in diagnosis are other barriers to the care of women with aggressive cervical cancers in low resource settings. Systemic changes in healthcare delivery are therefore required in many low resource settings. Advocacy for patients particularly those with aggressive diseases using the index case as a point of reference is ideal and should be promoted in resource-limited settings to improve health care delivery.
