Abstract

The responsiveness of neoadjuvant chemotherapy in Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC) needs determination to prevent overtreatment with chemoresistance regimen. A total of 60 consented patients from Haji Adam Malik and Bunda Thamrin Hospital were included in this cohort prospectie study. Patients with heart, kidney, liver disease, history of surgery, chemotherapy, or hormonal therapy were excluded. Apoptotic indexes were taken from all subjects before and after neoadjuvant chemotherapy. After 3 cycles of neoadjuvant chemotherapy, 31 subjects (51.7%) did not show clinical response while 29 subjects (48.3%) had clinical response. There was no significant difference of apoptotic index before and after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (5.47+1.38 vs 5.52+1.08 pg/mL). There was also no significant relationship between apoptosis index and clinical response (p=0.993). This study showed that apoptotic index fails to be neoadjuvant chemotherapy response predictor in triple negative breast cancer. Further research with larger samples is needed to confirm this result

Abstract

Background: The prevalence of cancer cases globally is increasing rapidly, especially in emergency department (ED) visits. Usually, cancer patients come for acute signs and symptoms of a still undiagnosed malignancy, management of treatment-related side effects, co-morbidities, and palliative care. Objective: To identify the demographic characteristics of cancer patients, reasons for ED visits, and associated factors of oncologic patients. Methods: A prospective cross-sectional study was conducted from July 2022 - June 2023 at the ED of H. Adam Malik Hospital Medan with 392 oncologic patients. Data were collected using the Integrated System Application of Hospital (STARS) database. Results: The percentage of women (69%) was two times higher than men (31%), with 82% being 18- 64 years old. Breast was the most common location of malignancy for 21.4%, followed by gastrointestinal malignancy for 20.1%. The most common reason for ED visits was pain, followed by gastrointestinal symptoms. The ratio of patients who were discharged and hospitalized was 50:50, while the mortality rate was none. Conclusion: The most common primary diagnosis was breast malignancy in women and gastrointestinal malignancy in men. The majority of ED visits were for the management of treatment-related side effects and palliative care.
