Abstract

Introduction: Malignant pleural effusion (MPE) is common in cancer patients and is often caused by neoplastic involvement of the pleural surface. This study aimed to determine the utility of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) spectral analysis and anatomical pathological differentiation in MPE, squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), and lung adenocarcinoma as prognostic predictors. Methods: This study used a cross-sectional design at Ulin General Hospital, Banjarmasin, involving advanced lung cancer patients with MPE. A non-probability sampling technique was used to recruit 30 patients. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy was analyzed to evaluate anatomical pathology differentiation. Results: Differences were observed in the FTIR spectral ratios A1080/A1243 and A1080/A1170 between SCC and adenocarcinoma, with p-values of 0.026 and 0.022, respectively. Significant differences were also found in the A2959/A1545 ratio between well-differentiated and poorly differentiated adenocarcinomas, with a p-value of 0.023. The receiver-operating characteristic curve (ROC) indicated good predictive value for poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma at a cut-off value of 0.944, with a sensitivity of 50% and specificity of 100%. However, no significant correlation was found between FTIR absorbance and anatomical pathology differentiation in MPE due to SCC and lung adenocarcinoma. Conclusion: The FTIR spectral ratios A1080/A1243 and A1080/A1170 differentiate SCC from adenocarcinoma. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy may be an adjunct to cytology, offering a more rapid and cost-effective method for differentiating MPE.

Abstract

Chemotherapy for lung cancer can provide many benefits, but it also has side effects that cause side effects of treatment, one of which is in the field of cardiology. This study was conducted to assess the cardiovascular side effects of platinum-based chemotherapy in advanced stage non-small cell lung cancer. This research method uses a retrospective cohort design. Samples diagnosed with advanced stage KPKBSK who underwent first-line platinum-based chemotherapy underwent electrocardiography and echocardiography assessments at the beginning and after the fourth cycle or when cardiovascular disorders occurred to assess the incidence of atrial fibrillation, PAC, ST-T segment changes, prolonged QT, decreased EF and E/A ratio at Ulin Banjarmasin Regional General Hospital in April 2022-April 2023. The results of this study indicate that chemotherapy for lung cancer with hypertension has an effect on decreasing ejection fraction (p-value <0.05, OR: 0.409). In the group of lung cancer with coronary heart disease receiving chemotherapy, the incidence of atrial fibrillation increased (p-value <0.05, OR: 20). Furthermore, cardiovascular events such as atrial fibrillation increased (p-value <0.05, OR: 6.800) and PAC (p-value <0.05, OR: 6.800) in the squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma lung cancer groups (p-value <0.05, OR: 0.409). There was no decrease in the E/A ratio and prolonged QT with chemotherapy. The conclusion of this study is that there is no effect of platinum-based chemotherapy on cardiovascular events in advanced lung cancer, but administration to groups with comorbid hypertension and coronary heart disease has an effect on increasing cardiovascular events in lung cancer patients at Ulin Banjarmasin Hospital.

Abstract

Introduction: Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer mortality, influenced by uncontrolled cell proliferation, migration, metastasis, and mutations. The imbalance of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and triglycerides (TG) has an important role. Spatholobus littoralis Hassk., or Bajakah wood, has antioxidant effects due to dihydrokaempferol, which lowers cholesterol levels and increases HDL. This additional therapy is expected to have a positive impact, supporting treatment for patients with wild-type lung adenocarcinoma. Methods: This was a single-blind clinical trial conducted at Ulin General Hospital, Banjarmasin, Indonesia, in patients with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-wild-type lung adenocarcinoma at a minimum stage IIIA, from June 2023 to July 2024. The participants were divided into two groups: the treatment group (adjunctive Bajakah wood 1,000 mg) and the control group. Cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL), HDL, and TG were measured twice before starting chemotherapy and after the third chemotherapy cycle. The resulting data were analyzed using the independent t-test and the Mann-Whitney test through the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 26. Results: For the 21 total patients, the cholesterol and TG levels in the treatment group before and after the third chemotherapy were 200.55±42.65 to 184.45±24.20 and 131.27±44.76 to 112.73±34.74, respectively. The control group results were 185.10±51.98 to 168.30±32.89 and 118.30±51.30 to 104.10±12.53, respectively. The comparison of changes between the two groups was not significant (p-value > 0.005). Conclusion: Cholesterol and TG levels were reduced, but there were no statistically significant differences after the addition of therapy with Bajakah wood.
