Abstract

Background: Cervical cancer and breast cancer are the two top leading cases of female cancer in Indonesia. Being the 2nd largest city in Indonesia, Surabaya is being populated by more than 1.5 million females in 2017. This study aimed to describe the demographic characteristic of women living with cervical and breast cancer in order to show the current picture of female cancer situation in Surabayan communities nowadays. Substantial to it, the correlation between time of first diagnosis and type of therapy with current stage of cancer were analyzed to evaluate the cancer management effectiveness in community context.Methods: This cross-sectional study involved six (9.68%) Public Health Centers (PHCs) among 62 PHCs in Surabaya, Indonesia, which were selected by one stage cluster random sampling. There were 140 and 139 women living with cervical and breast cancer participated in this study respectively (n=279). Self-developed demographic questionnaire was used to collect the data. Descriptive statistic, Spearman Rank correlation test, and Mann-Whitney U test were used in data analysis (α<.05).Results: Overall, most respondents were married (77.06%) and were housewives (59.14%). They were high school graduated at majority (44.44%). Family support came from spouse and children (70.25%). Those with breast cancer mostly aged middle-up adulthood (56.12%), while older aged were found in respondents with cervical cancer (72.86%). The majority had been diagnosed with cancer for less than five years (81.36%), but there was a tendency that the longer life expectancy was found in those with cervical cancer. More cervical cancer respondents with advanced stage were found to be long-term survivors (25%). The first time of diagnosis and the type of therapy were significantly different between cases (p=.039 and p=.000 respectively), but the current stage of cancer was not significantly different (p=.239). There was a quite strong correlation between time of first diagnosis and current stage of cancer (ρ = -.409; p=.000), but there was no significant correlation between type of therapy and current stage of cancer (p=.147).Conclusions: The demographic characteristic of women living with cervical and breast cancer has been slowly shifting from elderly or late adulthood, to middle and early adulthood. The first time of diagnosis and the type of therapy were significantly different between cases, but the current stage of cancer was not significantly different. There was a strong significant correlation between time of first diagnosis and current stage of cancer in cervical and breast cancer.

Abstract

Background: Neuroblastoma is a malignant solid tumour in children which attacks sympathetic nervous system. Despite of increment in its number of incidence, it is still rarely investigated. This research aims to improve the understanding of neuroblastoma based on the profile of patients, and further, to improve services for patients.Methods: This was a retrospective study conducted by assessing and descriptively analyzed patients medical record.Results: From 52 patients, 56% were male and 71% were between age of 1-5 years. Neuron Specific Enolase (NSE) examination showed that most patients had high levels in 29 patients (56%) while Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH) examination showed that 23 patients (44%) had low levels. Based on Fine Needle Aspiration Biopsy (FNAB) examination, 22 patients (42%) showed formation of malignant round cell tumor. Meanwhile, through Bone Marrow Aspiration (BMA) examination, it was found that the tumors had already spread to bone marrow in 17 patients (33%).Conclusions: Based on tumor markers and pathological finding, this study revealed that the majority of neuroblastoma patients had poor prognosis.

Abstract

Background: There are no data of efficacy comparison between primary systemic therapy in stage 3B and 4 breast cancer patients in Indonesia. This study compared long term outcomes of breast cancer patients treated with neoadjuvant hormonal therapy (NAHT) and those treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT)Methods: This was a cohort study conducted from 2011 to 2017. A total of 122 patients with stage 3B and 4 breast cancer received NAHT (n = 62) or NACT (n = 60) within a 6 cycles for NACT and 6 months for NAHT were included. Patients were excluded if they had a mastectomy before treatment, were pregnant, had been given hormonal therapy or chemotherapy before, had a contra-indication of chemotherapy, had a contra-indication of salpingo-oophorectomy bilateral for premenopausal patients, and declined to enter this study. The primary outcome of this study was overall survival. The outcomes were analysed using Kaplan-Meier for survival analysis and cox proportional hazard regression to estimate the hazard ratio.Results: There was a statistically significant difference in overall survival (p = 0.038). Median overall survival for NAHT patients was 1265 days and for NACT patients was 654 days. The hazard ratio showed NACT patients had a higher risk than NAHT patients (1.7 95% CI 1.03 – 2.9). Pathological complete response rate was higher in the NACT group than in the NAHT group (3.3% vs. 0%).Conclusions: Neoadjuvant hormonal therapy was superior to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in term of overall survival.

Abstract

Background: Egyptian hospital–based statistics showed that head & neck carcinomas represent 18% of all cancers and mostly diagnosed at advanced stages. Our Clinical Oncology & Nuclear Medicine Department of Mansoura Faculty of Medicine serves a large rural area of the Delta region of Egypt. There is no previous study in our institution that focused on oral tongue carcinoma alone. This study aims in establishing the demographics, treatment outcome and prognostic factors of oral tongue squamous cell carcinoma (SCC).Methods: We retrospectively reviewed data of 50 cases with oral tongue SCC treated in our department from January 2014 to December 2016 to evaluate the demography, pathological characteristics, and therapeutic modalities. We estimated the survival rates during the entire follow-up period by the Kaplan–Meier method. The univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazards analysis were performed for prognostic factors determination.Results: The median follow-up was 30 months (range: 4-45 months). The 3-year overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) rates were 68% and 60% respectively. By univariate analysis, both advanced stages (III, IVA) and depth of invasion >0.5 cm were statistically significant as prognostic factors for 3-year DFS and OS rates. DFS rates were 34% vs. 98% for stage III and IVA vs. stage I and II respectively (p = 0.001); 52% vs. 78% for >0.5 cm vs. ≤0.5 cm depth of invasion (p = 0.003). OS rates were 36% vs. 99% for stage III and IVA vs. stage I and II respectively (p = 0.002); 52% vs. 80% for >0.5 cm vs. ≤0.5 cm depth of invasion (p = 0.001). Multivariate analysis of prognostic factors affecting 3-year DFS and OS rates confirmed the statistical significance of the same 2 factors.Conclusions: The majority of our patients were males below 60 years. Tumors were mainly found at stage III and were moderately differentiated. Vascular invasion and lymphatic permeation were uncommon. Staging and tumor invasion depth significantly affected the outcome. The 3-year OS and DFS were 68% and 60% respectively.

Abstract

Background: MALT (Mucosa Associated Lymphoid Tissue) Lymphoma is an uncommon condition. It is an involvement of extranodal site in hematologic malignancy, Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma.Case Presentation: Pondok Indah, Puri Indah Hospital Jakarta treated a 38-year-old female with acute abdomen due to jejunal MALT Lymphoma perforation, one meter from treitz ligament. Emergency laparotomy was performed, the patient had a resection and end to end anastomose. She was hospitalized in intensive care unit for 4 days after the surgery and died because of prolonged septic shock.Conclusions: MALT lymphoma is an uncommon condition which is often encountered in emergency conditions due to acute abdominal pain caused by intra-abdominal perforation of the hollow viscus. Late diagnosis and treatment may cause severe outcome such as perforation and hypovolemic shock. This case report is expected to provide insight and to increase the awareness of the incidence of jejunal MALT lymphoma in Indonesia.
