Abstract

Background : Cervical cancer ranked as the third most prevalent cancer among women. This case report is to examine the current status of adjuvant chemotherapy in the treatment of early-stage cervical cancer as documented in the literature. Currently, there is no established evidence supporting the therapeutic efficacy of adjuvant chemotherapy as a standalone treatment following radical hysterectomy surgery. Nevertheless, some literature recommend the use of adjuvant radiotherapy (AR), adjuvant chemotherapy (AC), or concomitant chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) as the standard adjuvant therapies for early-stage cervical cancer following radical hysterectomy with positive prognostic factor. Case report: A 53-year-old female was diagnosed with stage IIA2 in April 2021. The histology type was determined to be keratinized squamous cell carcinoma, moderately well differentiated. The patient underwent a radical hysterectomy, resulting in the acquisition of uterine and cervical tissue measuring 11x11×6 cm. The histology results revealed moderately to poorly differentiated keratinizing squamous cell carcinoma, with no invasion of the parametrium or pelvic lymph nodes with vaginal cutting margin is free of tumor growth, but lymph vascular space invasion was present. Subsequently, adjuvant chemotherapy was administered using carboplatin (AUC 5) and paclitaxel for a total of 6 cycles. After 2 years with follow-up with CT-Scan examination in April 2023 confirmed the absence of any residual mass. Conclusion: A radical hysterectomy combined with adjuvant chemotherapy has been shown to reduce the chance of recurrence or progressiveness of the disease, in which this patient did not experience a recurrence after two years of treatment

Abstract

Maternal mortality and stunting remain major public health challenges in Indonesia, largely due to limited early detection of pregnancy complications and low maternal health literacy during the First 1000 Days of Life. Strengthening maternal knowledge through structured education is essential to improve pregnancy outcomes. This community service program aimed to enhance pregnant women’s knowledge of pregnancy danger signs, completion of six antenatal care (ANC) visits, anemia prevention, balanced nutrition, and early stunting prevention. A community-based participatory approach using a service-learning model was implemented among 39 pregnant women at Pauh Primary Health Center, Padang. Educational activities were conducted through interactive lectures, group discussions, and question-and-answer sessions. Knowledge was assessed using pre-test and post-test instruments and analyzed with a paired t-test. The results showed a significant increase in mean knowledge scores from 77.98 ± 16.26 to 86.60 ± 11.18 (p = 0.0002). The proportion of participants with “good” knowledge increased from 66.6% to 76.6%, while those with “poor” knowledge decreased substantially. These findings indicate that interactive and structured maternal health education effectively improves understanding of pregnancy complications and stunting prevention. Continuous implementation through routine maternal classes and stronger family involvement is recommended to sustain behavioral changes and improve maternal and child health outcomes.
