Abstract

Background: The relationship between lung cancer (LC) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) has been extensively studied but is still up for debate. COPD is a molecularly based illness and one of the independent risk factors for lung cancer, particularly squamous cell carcinoma. This study uses spirometry to assess the relationship between the type and stage of LC and COPD in a group of LC patients at Arifin Achmad Hospital. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on lung cancer patients in Arifin Achmad Hospital, Pekanbaru, from June 2022 to December 2022. Based on spirometry examination, patients were grouped according to the degree of COPD. Then, the relationship between the COPD group and the type and degree of cancer was determined. Results: The study involved 52 patients predominantly male (71.2%), aged over 40 years (92.3%), Smokers and former smokers with Severe Brinkman index (69.2%), restrictive lung function (34.6%), COPD group D (40.4%), adenocarcinoma (61.5%), stage IV lung cancer (92,3%) and WHO Performance Status Scale 2 (61.5%). The FEV1/FVC rate in this study was 66.67%. There is a link between the stage of lung cancer and the group of COPD (P=0.001). Conclusion: There is a relation between the stage of LC in the COPD group, which is predominantly with stage IV lung cancer, and group D of COPD.

Abstract

Lung cancer is a major health concern in Indonesia due to its increasing prevalence, late-stage diagnosis, younger population, and high mortality. Addressing this issue requires nationwide implementation of comprehensive lung cancer control, which includes risk reduction and prevention strategies, focusing on tobacco control and air pollution mitigation. Screening with low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) and early detection in symptomatic patients, along with TB screening programs and all non-communicable diseases, is strongly recommended to enhance early case findings, treatment effectiveness, and overall patient outcomes. A multidisciplinary team (MDT) approach is important to ensure accurate diagnosis and comprehensive care. Moreover, the integration of palliative care at the early stages of advanced lung cancer is vital, focusing on symptom management and enhancing the quality of life for patients. While national guidelines are available for the diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer, significant disparities in healthcare access remain across Indonesia. Thus, it is essential to improve universal health coverage and referral systems to guarantee equal access to lung cancer care for patients at all levels through advocacy and ease of access.

Abstract

Aspergillosis is one of the complications of lung cancer and lung cancer treatment. Diagnosis of Aspergillosis in lung cancer, in general, is still a challenge because clinical symptoms and examination results are not typical, and risk factors often go unnoticed. To simplify the diagnosis of Aspergillosis, several criteria have been created based on the patient's condition, clinical and radiological features, and mycological laboratory examination. Doctors' vigilance still needs to be increased, examination facilities are still limited in certain cities, and diagnostic services have not been integrated, so management is not optimal. This literature review aims to increase doctors' knowledge and awareness regarding aspergillosis in lung cancer, which is an important step to improve the appropriate management of this disease.

Abstract

Background: Cancer is a disease characterized by uncontrolled cell growth in one or both lungs originating from epithelial cells. In Indonesia, lung cancer ranks fourth among all cancer types and is the second leading cause of death after cardiovascular diseases. Management of lung cancer involves various therapeutic modalities, including surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and combination therapy. Certain chemotherapeutic agents, such as cisplatin and carboplatin, are known to have a narrow therapeutic index and high toxicity, so inappropriate regimen selection or dosing may result in serious adverse effects or even death. All chemotherapy agents carry the potential for toxicity, including both hematological and non-hematological effects, with hematological toxicities commonly manifesting as anemia, leukopenia, and thrombocytopenia of varying severity. Objective: This study aimed to determine the hematologic profile in patients after chemotherapy. Methods: This study was a descriptive research with a cross-sectional design using a total sampling technique. During the August-December 2023 period, 36 lung cancer patients met the inclusion criteria at Arifin Achmad Hospital, namely lung cancer patients with adenocarcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma who underwent advanced chemotherapy with a cycle of 21 days in the August-December 2023 period. Results: Of the 36 patients, 29 (80.56%) were male. The highest age of patients undergoing chemotherapy was ≥ 40 years (94.44%). Changes in the hematological profile after chemotherapy occurred in 14 patients (38.89%), with the most common hematological profile being anemia. Conclusion: The use of chemotherapy regimens can cause changes in the hematologic profile, including anemia, leukopenia, and thrombocytopenia.

Abstract

Lung cancer remains a leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide, with diagnostic challenges due to nonspecific symptoms and limitations in tissue sampling. Molecular biomarkers, particularly Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR), have gained attention for improving diagnostic accuracy and understanding tumor biology. EGFR plays a critical role in regulating cell proliferation, differentiation, and survival through multiple signaling pathways. This study aims to analyze the role of EGFR expression as a diagnostic biomarker in lung cancer by reviewing its biological function, molecular mechanisms, and clinical relevance. This study used a literature review approach by collecting relevant articles from databases such as PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar. Keywords including “EGFR,” “lung cancer,” and “biomarker” were used to identify studies discussing EGFR expression and its diagnostic value. EGFR overexpression and mutations are frequently found in lung cancer, especially non-small cell lung cancer. Activation of EGFR triggers signaling pathways such as MAPK, PI3K, and STAT, promoting tumor proliferation and survival. Detection methods, including immunohistochemistry, PCR, and FISH, are widely used. EGFR expression has shown potential as a diagnostic biomarker and provides important information for targeted therapy. EGFR expression plays a significant role in lung cancer diagnosis and offers potential as a diagnostic biomarker. However, variations across populations and tumor subtypes require careful interpretation in clinical applications.
