This study aimed to find and describe the profile of NPC patients who undergo radiotherapy at Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital, Bandung.Methods: This study was a descriptive study conducted at the Department of Radiology of Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital, Bandung. This study employed a total sampling method and was done by observing patients’ status/medical records from January 1, 2018, to December 31, 2019, which was registered based on the Hospital-Based Cancer Registry (HBCR). The inclusion criteria were all patients diagnosed with NPC and undergone radiotherapy.Results: There were 274 records (19.74%) included as NPC from 1,388 records. This cancer was more frequent in men (70.4%), in the age group of 45–54 years (35.0%), non-active smokers (58.8%), entrepreneurs (23.0%), and those who came from West Priangan (36.1%). The most ...

However, patients are treated on a case-to-case basis as per various case reports that have been published. Here, we present a case of 27-year-old female patient who presented to us with chief complaints of severe abdominal pain associated with leucorrhea. She previously had a similar pain episode, which was then evaluated by a multidisciplinary team. She was diagnosed with YST. After that, she underwent 6 cycles of chemotherapy, but there was no improvement. Then the medical oncologist referred her to performed radiotherapy. Then, the radiation oncologist decided to give her curative radiotherapy of 3D-CRT. After completing her sessions, she felt better and clinically improving. After that, she was discharged and scheduled a follow-up visit for first evaluation. At her follow-up visit, she was feeling well, and we decided to have an abdominal MRI.

The etiology of breast cancer is still uncertain, and therefore adequate primary prevention is difficult. Early diagnosis improves cancer prognosis while also reducing medical costs, substantially reducing mortality rates. Knowledge and awareness of breast cancer risk factors and their screening may help women take preventive measures. The community service program aimed to assess the level of understanding of undergraduate medical students on breast cancer and breast self-examination (BSE). It was a one-group pretest-postest quasi-experimental study to measure the level of knowledge of 100 medical students in Indonesia from August 20th, 2020, to February 27th, 2021. The participants were asked 36 questions, which was an adaptation of previous questionnaires. A mini-lecture managed the program that focuses on risk factors and early detection. Furthermore, pretest and post-test were conducted to analyze the knowledge...
