Cancer is one of the leading causes of death globally, including in Indonesia. However, access to cancer health services in rural areas is still minimal. This study explores mobile cancer services' needs and potential benefits in rural Indonesian communities. This research method is qualitative, with data collection through in-depth interviews and surveys of residents in various villages in several provinces. The research results show that rural communities face significant challenges in accessing cancer services, such as long distances to health facilities, limited transportation, a shortage of medical personnel trained in oncology, and a lack of information about early detection and treatment of cancer. Most respondents stated that the cost and time required to travel to big cities prevented them from getting timely diagnosis and treatment. Mobile cancer services, consisting of mobile medical units with diagnostic equipment and trained medical personnel, can overcome these barriers. Research finds that mobile services have great potential to improve early cancer detection through routine screening at strategic locations in rural areas. In addition, this service can provide health education regarding cancer prevention and healthy lifestyles, increasing public awareness of the importance of routine check-ups. The participation of the local community, including community leaders and health cadres, is critical to the success of this service. Collaboration between governments, non-governmental organizations, and the private sector is needed to provide and fund mobile cancer services. An inclusive and sustainable financing model is required. This study concludes that mobile cancer services are urgently needed in rural Indonesian communities. Implementation of these services can reduce disparities in access to cancer care and save many lives through early detection and timely intervention. Health policies that support mobile cancer services need to be implemented immediately, taking into account the specific conditions of each region

Cancer not only affects the patient's physical condition but also has significant emotional impacts, such as anxiety, depression and stress. Emotional challenges can affect the quality of life and recovery process of cancer patients. This study aims to identify the types of emotional challenges faced by cancer sufferers and explore the effectiveness of psychosocial support in overcoming these challenges. This research method uses a qualitative approach by collecting data through in-depth interviews and questionnaires involving ten cancer patients from various backgrounds. Research results show that cancer sufferers often experience feelings of fear, hopelessness and social isolation. Anxiety about the future, uncertainty about the effectiveness of treatment, and drastic changes in physical and social roles are the main factors causing emotional distress. Psychosocial support, which includes counselling, group therapy, and assistance from mental health professionals, has proven effective in helping patients manage their emotions. This psychosocial intervention can allow patients to express their feelings, get support from fellow patients, and learn effective coping strategies. This research also found that family and community support plays an important role in the emotional recovery process of cancer patients. Active involvement of family members in counselling and therapy sessions can increase the patient's sense of support and reduce the patient's sense of isolation.Additionally, participation in cancer patient support groups helps them feel more understood and emotionally supported. This study concludes that psychosocial support is an important component of comprehensive cancer care. Psychosocial interventions not only help overcome emotional challenges but also contribute to improving the patient's quality of life. Therefore, healthcare programs must include psychosocial support as an integral part of cancer care, ensuring easy and inclusive access for all patients. Supportive health policies and adequate funding are also needed to implement these services effectively and sustainably.

Cancer is a disease that requires intensive treatment, often accompanied by side effects that affect the patient's appetite and nutritional status. One effort to overcome this problem is to provide dietary supplements that are easy to consume and rich in health benefits. This study explores the potential of papaya jelly candy as a nutritional supplement in cancer treatment. Papaya was chosen because of its high nutritional content, including the enzyme papain which is known to have anti-inflammatory and good digestive properties. This research uses a quantitative approach with an experimental study design. The research sample consisted of 30 cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy in several hospitals. They were divided into two groups: an intervention group that received papaya jelly as an additional supplement and a control group that received standard care without additional supplements. Data was collected through questionnaires, interviews, and measuring nutritional status before and after the intervention over two months. The study results showed that the intervention group who consumed papaya jelly candy had a significant increase in appetite and nutritional status compared to the control group. Patients report that papaya jelly tastes good and is easy to consume, even when they are nauseous from chemotherapy. Laboratory analysis showed that the intervention group had higher antioxidants, which may contribute to increased endurance. The study concluded that papaya jelly candy has great potential as a nutritional supplement in cancer treatment by improving nutritional status and helping improve the quality of life of patients by providing a delicious and easy-to-consume dietary source. Further studies with larger samples and longer intervention periods are needed to confirm these findings and develop guidelines for using papaya gummies in cancer treatment.

Cancers of the reproductive system, including cervical, ovarian, and prostate cancer, are one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. In Indonesia, the incidence of reproductive system cancer is still high, mainly due to low early detection and a lack of public awareness about prevention. This study aims to evaluate the role of education and increasing public awareness in preventing cancer of the reproductive system. This research method uses a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional study design. Data was collected through a survey involving 150 respondents from various backgrounds in three large cities. The research results show that the level of public knowledge about reproductive system cancer is still low. Only 45% of respondents knew the risk factors and early symptoms of reproductive system cancer and only 30% had undergone routine examinations. Health education delivered through various media, including health campaigns, seminars and social media, has effectively increased public awareness and knowledge. Respondents who had participated in health education programs showed significant increases in knowledge and preventive behaviour, such as having regular check-ups and adopting a healthy lifestyle. Research finds that the main obstacles in preventing cancer of the reproductive system are lack of access to health services and low levels of public education, so more inclusive and accessible strategies are needed to disseminate health information. Educational programs involving local communities and community leaders can help overcome these barriers. The research concludes that education and increasing public awareness play a crucial role in preventing cancer of the reproductive system. Implementation of effective education programs can reduce the incidence of cancer through early detection and changes to healthier behaviour. The government and health organizations need to work together to develop and expand health education programs that can be accessed by all levels of society, especially in areas that have low levels of knowledge about cancer of the reproductive system.

Stigma towards cancer is still a significant problem in many communities, including in Indonesia, so it often hampers efforts for early detection, treatment and social support for cancer sufferers. This research aims to explore the use of local culture, especially the Kuda Lumping art, in reducing the stigma of cancer in society. Kuda Lumping was chosen because it is a popular traditional performing art and has a strong appeal among the community. This research method uses a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data was collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and surveys of 7 respondents involved in the Kuda Lumping-based education program in Pangkalan Benteng Village. This program involves the Kuda Lumping performance which includes educational messages about cancer, the importance of early detection, and social support for cancer sufferers. The research results show that the integration of health messages in the Kuda Lumping show can effectively reduce the stigma of cancer. Most respondents reported an increase in understanding of cancer and a decrease in negative attitudes towards cancer sufferers after watching the show. In addition, the use of symbols and narratives familiar to the local community makes the message easier to receive and understand. Education through Kuda Lumping also increases community involvement in efforts to prevent and detect cancer early. This research concludes that local cultural approaches such as Kuda Lumping have great potential in overcoming cancer stigma. Traditional art performances combined with health messages can reach various levels of society effectively and convey important information in an engaging and relatable way. Governments and health organizations are encouraged to consider using local arts in public health education programs. This step will not only help reduce stigma but also strengthen community involvement in cancer prevention and treatment efforts.

People with cancer not only need medical care but also emotional and spiritual support to face the challenges of their disease. This study aims to explore the role of spiritual groups in empowering and supporting cancer patients and measuring the impact of spiritual interventions on patient well-being. The research uses a qualitative approach with a case study method. Data was collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentation analysis from three spiritual groups in South Sumatra that actively support cancer patients. The results show that local spiritual groups are important in supporting cancer patients through various means. These groups provide emotional support, spiritual empowerment, and a sense of community that helps patients feel more connected and cared for. Group prayer sessions, meditation and spiritual counselling organized by the group provide inner peace and reduce levels of anxiety and depression in patients. Spiritual groups also help patients find meaning and purpose in their fight against cancer, which strengthens their zest for life and motivation to undergo treatment. Active participation in spiritual activities has been proven to improve the quality of life of cancer patients. Patients report feeling more positive, increased gratitude, and closer relationships with their family members and communities. Spiritual groups also serve as a bridge between patients and other resources and social and medical assistance, which can lighten the patient's overall burden. This research concludes that spiritual groups are crucial in empowering and supporting cancer patients. Structured and ongoing spiritual support can improve patients' emotional and spiritual well-being, contributing to their holistic recovery. Integration of spiritual support in cancer treatment programs is highly recommended. Collaboration between healthcare providers and local spiritual groups can strengthen support systems for cancer patients, ensuring that they receive comprehensive and ongoing care.
