Abstract

Background: There is ongoing discussion over the connection between lung cancer and pulmonary tuberculosis (TB). Future lung cancer cases in Indonesia, which has the second-highest TB case burden, are a cause for concern. The purpose of this study is to ascertain the connection between TB and LC at Arifin Achmad General Hospital in the province of Riau. Method: From 2015 to 2018, we looked back on lung cancer patients at Arifin Achmad General Hospital in Riau Province who had received pulmonary tuberculosis and anti-tuberculosis treatment (ATT). Results: From 203 patients, 24 patients (11.8%) had histories of TB. The patients' ages were from 41 years to 60 years. The most prevalent pathological findings were adenocarcinoma in 13 patients (54.0%). The most common cancer stage was advanced stage IIIB in 7 patients (29.2%) Conclusion: The cases of TB infections were apparent in lung cancer patients, approximately around 11% of lung cancer cases. Therefore, it is necessary to assess the history of TB in lung cancer patients.

Abstract

Background: The majority of lung cancer cases are often discovered at a late stage because it frequently develops without symptoms in the early stages. Many lung cancer deaths are caused by metastases to other organs. The purpose of this study was to examine the features of lung cancer patients with brain metastases using baseline CT scan data. Method: Between October 2022 and June 2023, a cross-sectional study was conducted at the Arifin Achmad Hospital in Pekanbaru on all newly diagnosed lung cancer patients with brain metastases who also met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Results: Eight subjects of lung cancer with brain metastasis were found from 49 patients. All subjects were male with age mostly in between 40 and 60 years. Three subjects (37.5%) were Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC), four subject (50%) were adenocarcinoma and 1 (12.5%) were SCLC. Conclusion: This study discovered that 16.3% of patients who met the inclusion criteria had lung cancer with brain metastases. Further research should be done on a cohort study and a preventive strategy for lung cancer with brain metastases.
