Abstract

Background: Breast cancer is the most common malignant tumor in the world and Indonesia. One well-known prognostic marker is microvessel density (MVD), the numerical value of angiogenesis. In recent years, it has been recognized that tumor growth depends on angiogenesis. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the differentiation of MVD based on the breast cancer patients' characteristics including age, stage, tumor size, and lymph node metastasis in the Anatomical Pathology Laboratory of Soedarso Hospital. Methods: This research was an observational study with a cross-sectional approach. The study was conducted by observing the slides of Hematoxylin-Eosin (HE) in breast cancer patients. Samples were taken using the total sampling technique. The samples were observed by two observers. 51 tissue preparations met the inclusions and exclusions criteria. MVD cut-off points are taken by calculating the median. Research analysis was using the Kruskal-Wallis test in SPSS version 24. Results: All samples of this study were women and had invasive ductal carcinoma. Breast cancer tends to occur in patients aged 48-53 years, has stage III, lymph node metastasis (N2). The patients have a low MVD rate but have a large tumor size (T4). Kruskal Wallis test showed that there was a differentiation of MVD based on age (p = 0.029). While, there was no differentiation of MVD based on stage (p=0.974), tumor size (0.069), and lymph node metastasis (0.571). Conclusions: There was a differentiation of MVD based on the age of breast cancer patients in the Anatomical Pathology Laboratory at Soedarso Hospital.

Abstract

Background: Head and neck cancer is a malignancy originating from the upper aerodigestive tract. Head and neck cancer patients undergoing radiotherapy using brachytherapy, 2DRT, 3CDRT, and IMRT techniques. Patients undergoing radiotherapy will experience several acute side effects consisting of mucositis, dysphagia, xerostomia, and dermatitis. This is influenced by the technique and dose given. This study aims to grade and time the acute side effects of radiotherapy for head and neck cancer at the Andalas University Hospital Padang. Methods: A quantitative descriptive method with a cross-sectional approach is used. Secondary data with a total sample of 88 patients. This research uses medical record data and is analyzed using statistical analysis methods. Results: This study found that the most head and neck cancer patients who underwent radiotherapy were male 57 (64.8%) patients, nasopharyngeal subsite 41 (46.6%) patients with non-keratinizing nasopharyngeal carcinoma 32 (36.4%) patients. The most common radiotherapy technique for head and neck cancer was IMRT in 58 (65.9%) patients with a dose of 61-70 Gy in 78 (88.6%) patients and the most common stage was IV A in 51 (58%) patients. Patients did not undergo chemotherapy treatment in 51 (58%) and surgery in 69 (78.4%). Body mass index (BMI) before radiotherapy was normal in 74 (84.1%) patients and after radiotherapy became underweight in 57 (64.8%) patients resulting in weight loss 1 kg in 83 (94.3%) patients. The highest grade of radiotherapy side effects was grade 1 which consisted of mucositis 84 (95.5%), dysphagia 83 (94.3%), xerostomia 78 (88.6%), and dermatitis 78 (88.6%) patients. The most frequent timing of mucositis side effects occurred in the 3rd week in 40 (45%) patients, dysphagia in the 3rd week in 41 (47%) patients, xerostomia in the 3rd week in 33 (38%) patients, and dermatitis at week 6 in 24 (27%) patients. Conclusions: Patients with head and neck cancer who undergo radiotherapy from week 1 to week 7 will experience side effects, including mucositis, dysphagia, xerostomia, and dermatitis. The average side effect appears in the 3rd week with grade 1.

Abstract

Background: Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) has a higher chance of occurance and progression in maxillary sinus cancer than other paranasal sinus cancers (80%). Matrix metalloproteinase-7 (MMP-7) is a protease specified in collagen type IV degradation and Heparin Binding Epidermal Growth Factor activation, which causes an increase in squamous cell carcinoma proliferation and metastasis Methods: This review aims to identify the potential role of MMP-7 as a target for prevention and therapeutic modality to manage SCC sinus maxillary cancer. We did literature searching in several databases to elucidate the importance of the MMP-7 pathway in SCC sinus maxillary cancer progression. Results: : Increasing expression and activity of MMP-7 are associated with maxillary sinus cancer progression. Squamous cells, the most impacted in maxillary sinus cancer, sustain dysplasia due to heparin-binding epidermal growth factor (HB-EGF) activation into EGF by MMP-7 and Cluster of Differentiation 44 (CD44) binding complexes that trigger high proliferation and mitogenic activity. The therapeutic function of MMP-7 occurs by affecting the protein 53 (p53) in cancer cell apoptosis initiation by specific interaction with CD44. Conclusion: MMP-7 could be an alternative therapeutic target and potential treatment option for maxillary sinus cancer. Furthermore, more trials should be done to test the relevancy of MMP-7 uses as an SCC sinus maxillary cancer modality

Abstract

Background: Breast cancer is still one of the significant causes of the increasing mortality rate due to cancer. Treatment of breast cancer patients was delayed by 66.34%. The majority of patients arrive at stages IIIB and IV and are therefore treated at an advanced stage. This study aimed to analyze the factors causing the arrival delay of breast cancer patients to Dharmais Cancer Hospital with advanced stages. Methods: A descriptive study with a qualitative approach was used as the research design. Indepth interviews and document reviews were used to collect data. In-depth interviews were conducted with 12 advanced-stage breast cancer patients. Thematic data analysis was performed by tracing and identifying the main topics of the entire interview process. The triangulation method was used to validate the data by conducting interviews with 4 patient families and 2 oncology surgeons, as well as document review. Results: The presentation delay of advanced breast cancer patients was analyzed based on the interpretation and recognition of symptoms. There was an attitude of ignoring when there were symptoms and not seeking treatment. On psychological factors, there was a feeling of fear after being diagnosed and a sense of worry in the treatment process. On socioeconomic factors, there was no early detection, lack of information on early detection, waiting time constraints, and the selection of alternative treatments. Conclusions: Late-stage breast cancer patients were drawn to Dharmais Cancer Hospital due to issues with the interpretation and experience of symptoms, psychological issues patients reported, and socioeconomic difficulties during treatment. As a result, patients must be given additional care to deal with late arrivals, especially in cases of advanced breast cancer.

Abstract

Background: Brain tumors are divided into two, primary and secondary brain tumors. Primary brain tumors are brain tumors that originate from the brain cells themselves. Meanwhile, secondary brain tumors are tumors that metastasize from tumors located in other parts of the body. Intracranial tumors require imaging modalities to make a diagnosis. Imaging examinations can reveal the type of tumor, location of the tumor, number of lesions, and some radiological features. However, information on imaging examination data of intracranial tumor patients is still limited, especially in Aceh, Indonesia. This study aims to determine the imaging profile of intracranial tumor patients at Dr Zainoel Abidin Regional General Hospital Banda Aceh. Methods: This study design was retrospective descriptive quantitative with the total sampling method. This study was conducted by observing all medical records of intracranial tumor patients recorded from January to December 2022 at Dr. Zainoel Abidin Regional General Hospital Banda Aceh. Results: A total of 88.5% (n=92) of the 104 registered cases were primary intracranial tumors. The most common patient profile was found to be in the range of 46-55 years (25%) and the majority was female (64.4%). The most common type of imaging used was contrast computed tomography (CT)-scan (38.5%), the most common location was supratentorial (74%), the most number of lesions was solitary (83.7%), the most common radiological picture was perifocal edema (66.3%), and the least radiological picture was communicating hydrocephalus (1.9%) and meningeal enhancement (1.9%). Conclusions:  There were more patients with primary intracranial tumors than with secondary intracranial tumors. CT scan was the most used imaging to diagnose intracranial tumors. The most intracranial tumors are supratentorial and solitary lesions with perifocal edema as common radiology features. dalities

Abstract

Background: Virtual patient-specific plan verification in radiotherapy is critical to ensure precise dose delivery while minimizing healthy tissue exposure, particularly in prostate cancer treatments. Prior studies, however, have overlooked the physical implications of predictor features and lacked comprehensive decision support tools, leading to gaps in understanding and practical application. This research aims to bridge these gaps by providing a nuanced understanding of predictor features, exploring advanced automatic feature extraction methods, emphasizing model reliability, and proposing a comprehensive decision support tool. Our objective is to optimize radiotherapy protocols, ensuring safer and more effective treatments for patients undergoing prostate cancer therapy. Methods: This research employs a literature review approach. An extensive literature study served as the foundation. Results: Our study reveals that understanding the physical implications of predictor features significantly enhances prediction accuracy. Utilizing Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) models for automatic feature extraction improves prediction performance, providing robust and transferable results. Conclusions: By emphasizing model reliability through the integration of treatment plan parameters, our approach ensures stable predictions across diverse patient cases. The proposed decision support tool offers clinicians detailed insights into predicted dose deliverability, facilitating informed decision-making for patient-specific treatment plans. Through these advancements, our research contributes to the optimization of radiotherapy protocols, ensuring safer and more effective treatments for patients undergoing prostate cancer therapy.

Abstract

Background: Metastasis is the most common cause of death in breast cancer and nodal metastasis is one of the most important predictive factors for distance metastasis. One of the intrinsic properties of cancer cells is that they resemble stem cells which are capable of self-renewal, resistance to chemotherapy and radiation, and metastasis. CD90 is a stem cell marker found in several malignancies, including breast carcinoma. The objective of this study was to prove that CD90 can predict the occurrence of axillary nodal metastasis in breast carcinoma. Methods: The study design was a case-control study. The subjects of this study were breast cancer patients at Prof. Dr. I. G. N. G. Ngoerah Hospital who underwent mastectomy and axillary lymphadenectomy in the year 2019. CD90 immunohistochemistry was performed and its association with metastasis, along with various clinicopathological markers, was assessed with chi-square and logistic regression tests with a significance level determined at α=0.05. Results: There were 25 cases of breast carcinoma with axillary nodal metastasis and 25 cases without metastasis. There was a significant relationship between high CD90 expression and the occurrence of nodal metastasis (p=0.010). There was no relationship between patient age, histologic grade, histologic subtype, molecular subtype, and T-stage with axillary nodal metastasis. Breast carcinoma patients with high CD90 expression have a 7.25 times higher nodal metastasis risk compared to patients with low CD90 expression. Conclusion: High CD90 expression could predict axillary nodal metastasis in breast carcinoma.

Abstract

Background: Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths in women worldwide in 2020. The high mortality rate is often influenced by various reasons, one of which is patients's prognosis. One of the prognostic factors is necrosis area, caused by hypoxic tumor tissue that can affect tumor growth and metastasis. Therefore, this study aims to determine the relationship between necrosis area with tumor size and lymph node metastasis in breast cancer patients. Methods: This study was an observational analytic with a cross-sectional approach. This research was conducted at the Anatomical Pathology Laboratory of Dr Soedarso Pontianak General Hospital and the Microscopy Laboratory of the Faculty of Medicine Tanjungpura University from September until November 2022. The study sample was 55 slides of Formalin-Fixed Paraffin-Embedded (FFPE). The study was conducted by observing the preparations under a microscope and then analyzed using ImageJ and SPSS software. The independent variable in this study was the necrosis area in the tumor microenvironment, and the dependent variables were tumor size and lymph node metastasis in breast tissue. Results: All study samples were female patients with invasive ductal carcinoma. Breast cancer tends to occur in patients aged 48-55 years. The highest percentage of necrosis area was 21% and the most diagnosed breast tumor size and lymph node metastasis were stage T4 and stage N2. Spearman's rho correlation test showed that there was no relationship between necrosis area and tumor size (p = 0.122; r = 0.16) and lymph node metastasis (p = 0.637; r = 0.18). Conclusions: There is no correlation between necrosis area with tumor size and lymph node metastasis of breast cancer patients in the Anatomical Pathology Laboratory at Dr Soedarso Pontianak General Hospital.

Abstract

Background: Colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer in 2020, with a high mortality rate. Colorectal cancer treatment has made many advances. However, many factors in the tumor microenvironment still have not been reached but significantly affect the success of treatment. This literature review was conducted to search for research articles that analyze factors in the tumor microenvironment, how they interact through studies primarily conducted in 3D, and how to prepare for 3D research on colorectal cancer will be briefly discussed. The aim of this systematic review is to study the components of the tumor microenvironment in colorectal cancer development as assessed by 3D studies. Methods: Article searches were conducted through Embase, Scopus and PubMed. From the 110 articles found at the beginning of the search, after going through several screening stages, 27 articles were determined that met the inclusion criteria. The inclusion criteria used were journals containing research articles on colorectal cancer in the last five years with topics regarding the tumor microenvironment and according to keywords. Results: Microenvironment components in colorectal cancer, consisting of cellular and noncellular components, have the most significant effect on cancer development and ultimately affect metastasis, response to treatment, and prognosis.  Conclusions: This literature review proves that the components of the tumor microenvironment are very diverse, making colorectal cancer heterogeneous. It still requires a lot of research to prove the existence of other components that affect the effectiveness of the treatment.

Abstract

Introduction: Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) of the head and neck is a rare salivary gland tumor. It grows and spreads in silence until causing a symptom. Surgery is still the main treatment of choice although complete resection is hard to achieve most of the time. Case Presentation: This report presents an adult female with ACC of the left hard palate and left maxillary sinus, this patient also had slight lymph nodes enlargement. She underwent sub-total maxillectomy followed by locoregional radiotherapy. The tumor spreads out to vertebral bones within one year and keeps on progressing despite bone radiation. It recurred locally and appeared in the neck lymph node 2 months after bone metastasis. Lung metastasis happened 3 months later and soon she passed away. Mortality happened in less than two years after initial treatment. Conclusion: : High tumor grade, advanced T stage, lymph node involvement, perineural invasion, and paranasal sinus location clearly define poor prognostic factors. In this case, adjuvant radiotherapy for poor prognostic factors ACC doesn’t give any benefit in locoregional control or overall survival.
