Abstract

Introduction: Phyllodes tumors are fibroepithelial breast lesions that are uncommon in women and rare among children. Due to scarcity, there are only a few large pediatric phyllodes tumor series. Current guidelines do not differentiate treatment recommendations between children and adults.Case Presentation: A 12-year-old girl presented with a lump in her right breast which grew rapidly within a month. On physical examination, we found a mass on the right breast sized ± 10 x 10 cm; the lump was fragile and bled easily. The patient’s condition was getting worse and worse. Due to this deterioration, we performed a mastectomy immediately.Conclusions: The incidence of malignant phyllodes tumor in children is very rare and required prompt treatment in emergency cases.

Abstract

Introduction: Poorly differentiated neuroendocrine carcinomas (NECs) originating from the eye are rare and very highly malignant diseases with a poor prognosis. Small cell NEC of the head and neck is a rare disease and highly aggressive. Early recognition and treatment are crucial for reducing morbidity and mortality. Case Presentation: A 19-year-old male visited our oncology surgery outpatient department due to the progressive neck mass enlargement originating from the eye. The patient was previously diagnosed with invasive choroid malignant melanoma of the left eye which had metastasized to the lymph nodes of the left neck. He underwent a surgical removal/exenteration of the left eye. The result showed that the patient’s survival with poorly differentiated tumors was about 14% while patients with well-differentiated NEC had a survival rate of 34%. It also indicates that the prognosis of these tumors is very poor with a total of over 90% of patients having distant metastatic disease. Histopathological examination showed the tumor tissue and its immunohistochemistry with positive streaks of CD56, NSE, Synaptophysin, and Ki67 suggested small cell NEC.Conclusions: it is crucial to establish an early diagnosis of these tumors to reduce morbidity and mortality. No optimal treatment for such disease has yet been established.

Abstract

Background: This study was conducted to determine the association between clinical characteristics, progression-free survival (PFS), and 3-year survival in patients with epithelial ovarian cancer who underwent surgery in 2016-2017 at RSUD Dr. Soetomo. This study was carried out with the hope of contributing to services for patients with epithelial ovarian cancer to improve outcomes at RSUD Dr. Soetomo. Methods: This retrospective analytic study used medical record data. Survival analysis was done employing Kaplan-Meier and log-rank tests, while Cox regression was utilized to analyze characteristics, recurrence, and mortality. Results: In 2016-2017, 56 patients with epithelial ovarian cancer met the inclusion criteria. Clinical characteristics of residue, stage had significant associations with PFS (P-value of 0.007 and P-value of 0.005, respectively). Residue, stage, histopathology, and the number of chemotherapy cycles had significant associations with 3-year survival (P-value of 0.001, P-value of < 0.001, P-value of < 0.001, P-value of 0.031, respectively). Recurrence and stage had a significant association with the following hazard ratios: stage I HR: 1 (CI 95%, P-value 0.145), stage II HR: 6.5 (CI 95% 0.6–74.7, P-value 0.134), stage III HR: 12.2 (CI 95% 1.4–105.4, P-value 0.061), and stage IV HR: 10.4 (CI 95% 0.8–120.8, P-value 0.061). Mortality had significant associations with stage, histopathology, and the number of chemotherapy cycles, with hazard ratios as follows: stage IV HR: 43.6 (CI 95% 4.5–417.9, P-value 0.001), seromucinous histopathology HR: 20.1 (CI 95% 0.9–408.6, P-value 0.026), chemotherapy cycles < 3 HR: 3.6 (CI 95% 1.2–11.5, P-value 0.459), and > 3 HR: 1 (CI 95%, P-value 0.028).Conclusions: Residue and stage had statistically significant associations with PFS and can be predictors for disease recurrence. Residue, stage, histopathology, number of chemotherapy cycles had significant associations with 3-year survival, but only the latter three characteristics can be predictors for mortality

Abstract

Background: Conventional chest X-ray (chest X-ray) in Dharmais Cancer Hospital emergency room (ER) is still the primary modality to diagnose patients with cancer with dyspnoea complaints. Chest X-ray was also carried out to screen inpatients at the Dharmais Cancer Hospital ER at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia. It was essential because patients in the Dharmais Cancer Hospital ER were patients with cancer, with low immunity and a high risk of being exposed to various infections. Thus, the purpose of this study was to determine the characteristics of chest X-rays in patients with cancer at the Dharmais Cancer Hospital ER during the COVID-19 pandemic in February-May 2020. Methods: This was a descriptive study. The population involved was all patients at the Dharmais Cancer Hospital ER who received chest X-ray support, with the inclusion criteria for diagnosing lung cancer, breast cancer, cervical cancer, colorectal cancer, and blood cancer (Leukemia) from February to May 2020. Data analysis employed univariate analysis by utilizing tables and graphs in presenting the data.Results: 289 samples met the research criteria. The highest visits were patients with breast cancer (41.2%). The most common thoracic images were pleural effusion (34.3%), followed by bronchopneumonia (31.1%), normal lung (16.6%), lung mass (7.6%), pneumonia (5.2%), and others (5.2%), consisting of atelectasis, bronchitis, fibrosis/chronic pulmonary process, pulmonary emphysema, cardiomegaly, and specific process. Besides, the chest x-ray bronchopneumonia was 31.1% (90 samples), accompanied by pleural effusion of 44.4%. From the chest X-ray, pleural effusions were 34.3% (99 samples), with lung cancer being the most common with pleural effusions (48.4%).Conclusions: More than 80% of chest x-ray performed in the ER are abnormal. Also, breast cancer is the highest in the Dharmais Cancer Hospital ER cases, with the highest chest x-ray of pleural effusion.

Abstract

Background: Multiple advancements of endoscopic technology were designed to enhance the sensitivity and specificity of the diagnostic tools of bladder cancer; thus, we perform a meta-analysis to compare diagnostic performance between confocal laser endomicroscopy (CLE) and biopsy for detecting bladder cancer.Methods: We compared CLE’s accuracy in diagnosing bladder cancer reported by studies obtained from the electronic database MEDLINE, CENTRAL, and CINAHL, from May to June 2020. The pooled effect estimate was calculated employing the DerSimonian and Laird random-effects model. We only included moderate to high-quality studies, which had been assessed by the QUADAS-2 tool.Results: Eight studies were included in this review; five of those were good-quality studies. A total of 519 samples from 345 patients were included in the pooled effect estimate calculation. Pooled sensitivity and specificity of CLE in diagnosing bladder cancer were 90.2% (0.86, 0.93) and 78.1% (0.71, 0.85), respectively. The use of white-light cystoscopy (WLC) before CLE increased its specificity (56.8% versus 84.6%). Pooled sensitivity and specificity of CLE in predicting lowgrade lesion were 73% (0.66, 0.80) dan 83% (0.78, 0.87), respectively. Meanwhile, pooled sensitivity and specificity of CLE in predicting high-grade lesion were 73% (0.66, 0.78) and 79% (0.73, 0.83), respectively.Conclusions: CLE has good accuracy in distinguishing malignant and benign tumors. Grading tumors with this modality is also accurate. The use of probe CLE (pCLE), coupled with WLC, will increase its specificity.

Abstract

Background: Mucositis is one of the side effects of chemotherapy, which can be a severe problem for children with cancer. Cryotherapy can cause vasoconstriction and decrease blood flow to the oral mucosa, resulting in lower concentrations of chemotherapy agents to prevent mucositis. This study aims at determining the effectiveness of oral cryotherapy as prophylaxis mucositis in children with cancer undergoing chemotherapy.Methods: This quasi-experiment study with a pretest-posttest control-group design involved 45 respondents (22 in the intervention group and 23 in the control group) selected using consecutive sampling. The data collection instrument was the WHO mucositis scale. Results: Of the 45 children undergoing chemotherapy, 24 (53.3%) were of school age, 25 (55.6%) were male, 33 (73.3%) had good nutritional status, and 17 (37.8%) had mild neutropenia before undergoing chemotherapy. All respondents (100%) did not experience mucositis, but after chemotherapy, 9 children (40.9%) in the intervention group had mucositis, and 19 children (82.6%) experienced mucositis in the control group. The data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon test to see the difference between the intervention group and the control group and the Chi-Square test with Yates’s correction to see the effect of cryotherapy on the prevention of mucositis. The results showed that there was a difference in the incidence of mucositis between before and after intervention in the intervention group (p = 0.003) and the control group (p = 0.000), and cryotherapy was effective in preventing mucositis (p = 0.01).Conclusions: Cryotherapy is effective against the prevention of mucositis. Nurses and families need to be able to apply oral cryotherapy and other evidence-based treatment as a method to prevent mucositis

Abstract

Background: Oncological reconstructive surgery is a new paradigm in which it combines oncologic principles with reconstruction techniques. This study aims to present patients’ characteristics who had undergone oncological reconstructive surgery at the Department of Surgical Oncology, Dharmais National Cancer Center. Methods: This descriptive study identified patients’ characteristics who underwent oncological reconstructive surgery, their cancer types, and their therapies. All data were obtained from surgery registration and medical records from January 2019 to January 2020. Data were then presented in number and percentage.Results: A total of 174 patients had undergone oncological reconstructive surgery within one year. The mean age of all patients was 48.2 ± 16.7 years old. Most patients were female (72.1%), with breast cancer making up most cases (43.7%). Most of the participants also underwent mastectomy (42.1%), which was later followed by various reconstruction types. Sixty patients received free tissue transfer with microsurgery (34.4%), of which head and neck cancer constituted most cases. In addition, the most common donor site for the free flap was the Anterolateral Thigh (41.7%). Of all 174 patients, 75.2% presented with locally advanced cancer, and 17.8% had metastatic cancer. Within one year of follow-up, the survival rate was 87.4%, while local recurrence was 3%. Conclusions: The oncological reconstructive surgery approach plays a therapeutic and reconstructive role, and such might be the preferred method of choice for patients presenting with advanced-stage cancer
