Abstract

ABSTRAK Koeksistensi kanker paru dan tuberkulosis (TB) telah diketahui dalam banyak studi. Deskripsi tentang hubungan kanker paru dan TB pertama kali dilaporkan lebih dari 200 tahun lalu oleh Bayle pada tahun 1810 yang dikenal dengan “cavitation cancereuse”. Lebih dari sepertiga laporan kasus menyatakan terjadi misdiagnosis antara TB dan kanker paru pada presentasi klinis awal pasien. Proses inflamasi kronis pada TB menyebabkan peningkatan produksi sitokin yang menstimulasi pertumbuhan tumor dan progresifitas sel kanker. Sebaliknya deplesi sel imun, kondisi malnutrisi, dan efek dari pengobatan kemoterapi pada pasien kanker paru menyebabkan penurunan imunitas pasien yang meningkatkan risiko infeksi dan reaktivasi TB. Diagnosis dan  pengobatan dari koeksistensi TB dan kanker paru masih menjadi tantangan terutama pada negara endemis.Pengobatan TB yang tidak menunjukkan perbaikan baik klinis maupun radiologis selama 5 minggu harus dicurigai sebagai kanker paru. Kemoterapi bukanlah kontraindikasi pada pemberian terapi obat anti tuberkulosis (OAT) secara bersamaan pada pasien dengan koeksistensi kanker paru dan TB. Evaluasi keberhasilan terapi antara lain adalah dengan menurunnya keluhan awal, perbaikan tampilan klinis, perbaikan radiologis, dan evaluasi efek samping pengobatan.

Abstract

Treatment for lung cancer remains challenging since most of the patients seek medical advice at an advanced stage of disease. Sampang is one of the regencies that refers many lung cancer patients in late stages to Dr. Soetomo Hospital, Surabaya, due to lack of information of lung cancer and early detection. Limited number of health workers to deliver comprehensive education to all areas requires community volunteers to fill this gap. The objective of this study was to educate and promote lung cancer awareness to the health cadres in Sampang as well as training them to early detecting individuals in the community with high-risk factors, as an attempt to bridge between the health workers and community, therefore the number of lung cancer early detection may be improved. Early identification of cancer may result in reduced morbidity and mortality, and in some cases, if detected early enough, therapy may involve only surgery.  The education was provided for the health cadres by providing information related to lung cancer and guidance to fill the questionnaire and scoring of lung cancer risk factors. The participants' understanding was measured using a pretest-posttest design. Thirty health cadres have been successfully formed, and they have gained knowledge of lung cancer and mastered capability to perform early-screening of lung cancer in the community as shown by the increase of post-test result compared to pre-test. The health cadres then implemented their knowledge of lung cancer early-screening by distributing questionnaires of lung cancer risk factor scoring to residents using door to door methods. The questionnaires’ evaluation collected by the health cadres showed that there were 93 residents with high-risk factors of lung cancer.  In conclusion, the health cadres has been capable to detect high-risk factors individuals in the community which further be followed up by community health workers comprehensively.

Abstract

Lung cancer is the second most commonly diagnosed malignancy, with the highest mortality rate in the world. In Indonesia, lung cancer ranks third with 34,783 cases, contributing to the highest number of deaths due to cancer. Most patients are diagnosed at an advanced stage, requiring systemic therapy. Therapeutic modalities for lung cancer patients can include surgery, radiotherapy, and systemic therapy, with the choice of therapy determined by the histological type, disease stage, laboratory results, performance status (PS), and comorbidities. This situation requires regular monitoring and evaluation to reduce the symptoms and improve the patient’s quality of life (QoL). Therapy response in systemic therapy patients can be evaluated through subjective, semi-subjective, and objective evaluations. Subjective evaluation involves monitoring QoL, focusing on cancer outcomes, and patients’ well-being. Semi-subjective evaluation consists of monitoring the patient’s weight and PS. Objective evaluation uses imaging equipment, such as computed tomography (CT) scans, fluoroscopy, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and positron emission tomography (PET) scans to monitor tumor progression.

Abstract

Modern technology has improved our understanding of cancer biology, especially anti-cancer medicines from cytotoxic chemotherapy, radiotherapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy. Nevertheless, these treatments can result in significant pulmonary toxicities, including interstitial lung disease (ILD) and radiation-induced lung injury (RILI), which can result in a high rate of morbidity and mortality despite being less severe than injuries to other organ systems. Lung injury mechanisms occur through various pathways, such as immune-mediated damage and oxidative stress. Through clinical history and examination, imaging techniques such as high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT), and the necessity of eliminating other possibilities of respiratory symptoms, lung injuries due to cancer therapies can be identified. The management strategies are based on the severity of the condition and may include discontinuing the responsible agent, corticosteroid treatment, and supportive care. The challenge is early identification and management of these lung injuries due to the variability in patient responses and the lack of comprehensive guidelines. Therefore, awareness is needed to monitor lung health in cancer patients undergoing therapy.

Abstract

Introduction: Silicosis, an occupational lung disease caused by crystalline silica dust, is often complicated by tuberculosis (TB). The epidemiological triad suggests disease results from imbalanced interactions between the host, agent, and environment. Case: A 63-year-old underweight man presented with decreased consciousness after consuming drugs, chronic cough, low-grade fever, weight loss, and lower urinary tract symptoms. He was a smoker, drug abuser, and alcoholic. He had worked as a construction worker for 33 years without personal protective equipment (PPE). The patient lived in substandard housing, and three neighbors had a history of TB. Urine toxicology was positive for amphetamine. Abdominal ultrasound showed prostate enlargement. A chest X-ray showed fibroinfiltrates, cavities, and reticulogranular patterns. A high-kV chest X-ray revealed profusion levels of 1/2 S/S and 1/1 P/P. Contrast chest computed tomography (CT) showed tree-in-bud patterns, reticulogranular patterns, small nodules, and fibrosis. Brain CT was normal. GeneXpert sputum confirmed Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB), and bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) spectrophotometric detected 38.90 ppm silica. He was diagnosed with amphetamine intoxication, benign prostatic hyperplasia, and silicotuberculosis. Haloperidol, tamsulosin, and anti-TB therapy were administered, while silicosis had no specific treatment. He was advised to change job to reduce silica exposure and planned to receive housing renovation assistance from the Health Office of Surabaya. The patient was declared cured after completing six months of TB treatment. Conclusion: The host factors included nutritional status, comorbidity, and personal habits; the agent factor was MTB; and the environmental factors included inadequate ventilation, high housing density, close contact with TB patients, and occupational conditions. A holistic identification of host, agent, and environmental risk factors is essential for understanding the development, prevention, and diagnosis of silicotuberculosis.

Abstract

Introduction: Primary pulmonary myxoid sarcoma (PPMS) is a rare malignant mesenchymal lung tumor, with fewer than 40 cases reported worldwide. This care report presented a case of PPMS with surgical difficulties. Case: A 53-year-old man presented with a six-month history of exertional dyspnea, coughing up blood, right chest pain, anorexia, and weight loss. Thoracic computed tomography (CT) imaging revealed an enhancing solid mass in the middle-posterior mediastinum. Histopathological examination of a core biopsy identified anaplastic lipoblast cells indicative of liposarcoma. Based on the multidisciplinary team (MDT) discussion, the patient was diagnosed with mediastinal liposarcoma, and tumor excision was planned. However, during the surgery, a lung tumor with adhesions to the middle and lower lobes of the right lung was discovered, precluding the complete tumor. An open biopsy was performed instead, revealing a proliferation of anaplastic cells with round to oval spindle nuclei arranged reticularly within a myxoid stroma, along with positive Alcian blue staining. Immunohistochemical analysis demonstrated focal desmin positivity in the cytoplasm of the tumor cells. The diagnosis of PPMS was confirmed based on the criteria by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2021, including primary lung tumor, spindle-shaped and round tumor cells in a reticular pattern within a myxoid stroma, and immunohistochemical findings that exclude other histologically similar tumors. Conclusion: Although rare, PPMS should be considered in the differential diagnosis of thoracic tumors. Most PPMS patients were treated surgically and had a good prognosis. However, tumor excision could not be performed in this patient due to the adhesion of the tumor mass to the middle and lower lobes of the right lung.
