Abstract

Abstract: Pleomorphic adenoma is a type of tumor that affects the parotid glands. It is also called a benign mixed tumor (BMT) because it has both epithelial and myoepithelial cells. This type of tumor is the most frequent parotid gland tumor, making up about 66% of all such tumors in parotid glands. We reported a case of 12-year-old male patient with a lump on his parotid gland, measured 7x3x3cm at Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou Hospital Manado. CT Scan results of neck region of the patient revealed that there was a mass in the right side colli area and right frontal sinusitis A histopathological examination of the tumor tissue showed that it was encapsulated by connective tissue and composed of proliferating epithelial and myoepithelial tumor cells, some with clear nuclei, arranged in solid and microcystic patterns, and interspersed with fibromyxoid stroma. The patient was diagnosed as parotid gland adenoma, therefore, a parotidectomy was performed on him. He was discharged home and advised to return for a check-up one week later to remove the stitches. At the two-month follow-up visit, he was stable and did not require any additional therapy. In conclusion, a parotidectomy shows good result in the patient with parotid gland adenoma. However, due to the recurrence rate of parotid gland malignancies, several oncologists prefer to observe the patient periodically trough follow up at policlinic. Early detection and right management are required to achieve the best prognosis. Keywords: pleomorphic adenoma; pediatric patient; parotid gland

Abstract

Abstract: Soft-tissue sarcomas (STS) are rare and heterogeneous tumors originating from mesenchymal tissues. While surgical resection remains the primary treatment, not all patients are eligible for surgery, particularly in advanced stages. Drug-eluting bead transarterial chemoemboli zation (DEB-TACE) is a promising therapeutic option for such cases. This retrospective study evaluated the efficacy and safety of DEB-TACE in 30 patients with advanced STS at Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou Hospital, Manado, from 2020 to 2023. The overall response rate (ORR) was 76.7% (p<0.05), with five patients achieving complete response and 18 showing partial response. The main adverse reactions included post-embolization syndrome (fever, pain, nausea, vomiting) and grade II or higher bone marrow suppression. Despite a morbidity rate of 93.3%, no treatment-related mortality was observed. In conclusion, DEB-TACE is an effective and safe treatment for advanced STS, providing superior short-term efficacy compared to traditional systemic chemotherapy. Keywords: soft tissue sarcoma; drug eluting bead; transarterial chemoembolization

Abstract

Abstract: Most breast cancer cases in Indonesia are diagnosed in advanced stages, and even metastasis, underscoring the urgency of timely intervention. This study aimed to examine the effects of knowledge, attitudes and behaviors, fear, social support, and the Covid-19 pandemic on diagnostic delay and treatment delay, as well as to evaluate the impact of diagnostic delay on subsequent treatment delay at Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou General Hospital. This was a quantitative analyticalal study with a cross-sectional design, using purposive non-probability sampling. A total of 112 patients with advanced-stage breast cancer were recruited between October and November 2024 and assessed using a structured questionnaire. Data were analyzed using SPSS with multiple linear regression.The results showed that knowledge, attitudes and behaviors, fear, social support, and the Covid-19 pandemic significantly influenced diagnostic delay (R²=0.605), with knowledge (β=0.537) and the Covid-19 pandemic (β=0.320) being the strongest predictors. These factors also significantly contributed to treatment delay (R²=0.948), with attitudes and behaviors (β=0.935) and social support (β=0.876) demonstrating the greatest effects. Furthermore, diagnostic delay exerted a positive and significant influence on treatment delay (R²=0.304, β=0.200). In conclusion, a multidimensional approach encompassing improved public health education, psychosocial support, and streamlined healthcare pathways is essential to mitigate delays in diagnosis and treatment, ultimately enhancing clinical outcomes for breast cancer patients. Keywords: breast cancer; diagnostic delay; treatment delay   Abstrak: Sebagian besar kasus kanker payudara di Indonesia ditemukan pada stadium lanjut, bahkan telah bermetastasis, yang menyoroti pentingnya intervensi tepat waktu. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguji pengaruh pengetahuan, sikap dan perilaku, ketakutan, dukungan sosial, dan pandemi Covid-19 terhadap keterlambatan diagnosis dan keterlambatan pengobatan, serta dampak keterlambatan diagnosis terhadap keterlambatan pengobatan di RSUP Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou. Jenis penelitian ialah analitik kuantitatif dengan desain potong lintang, menggunakan non-probability sampling dengan metode purposive sampling. Penelitian dilakukan dengan menggunakan kuesioner yang diberikan kepada 112 pasien kanker payudara stadium lanjut selama bulan Oktober hingga November 2024 dan data dianalisis menggunakan SPSS. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pengetahuan, sikap dan perilaku, ketakutan, dukungan sosial, dan pandemi Covid-19 secara bermakna mempengaruhi keterlambatan diagnosis (R²=0,605). Pengetahuan (β=0,537) dan pandemi Covid 19 (β=0,320) merupakan faktor yang paling berpengaruh terhadap keterlambatan diagnosis. Faktor-faktor ini juga secara bermakna memengaruhi keterlambatan pengobatan (R²=0,948), dengan sikap dan perilaku (β=0,935) dan dukungan sosial (β=0,876) menunjukkan pengaruh terbesar. Keterlambatan diagnostik secara positif dan bermakna memengaruhi keterlambatan pengobatan (R²=0,304, β=0,200). Simpulan penelitian ini ialah pendekatan multidimensi, termasuk peningkatan edukasi publik, dukungan psikososial, dan peningkatan alur layanan, sangat penting untuk mengurangi keterlambatan ini dan pada akhirnya meningkatkan hasil pengobatan pasien.
