"ABSTRAKKanker payudara merupakan jenis kanker terbanyak di antara wanita di dunia maupun Indonesia. Di Indonesia, khususnya di Rumah Sakit Kanker “Dharmais” (RSKD) Jakarta angka kasus meningkat ditiap periode waktu dari angka 21,46% di tahun 1993-1997 meningkat hingga 40,58% di tahun 2003-2007. Dalam menangani penyakit ini, terdapat modalitas terapi kanker di antaranya adalah operasi, radiasi, kemoterapi ataupun kombinasi dari ketiganya. Namun, modalitas terapi tersebut menimbulkan efek samping yang tidak sedikit pada pasien, khususnya kemoterapi. Kondisi ini dapat mempengaruhi kualitas hidup pasien. Akibat dari kondisi tersebut, banyak pasien kanker yang menggunakan terapi komplementer-alternatif (CAM) untuk mengurangi gejala efek samping yang dialaminya. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui manfaat CAM terhadap kualitas hidup pasien kanker payudara yang menjalani kemoterapi sebagai terapi pendukung di RSKD. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan melakukan wawancara terhadap 152 pasien kanker payudara yang menjalani kemoterapi dan verifikasi data rekam medis. Metode penelitian menggunakan disain studi analitik potong lintang. Dari hasil penelitian didapatkan bahwa penggunaan CAM tidak berhubungan bermakna secara statistik (p value >0,05) terhadap kualitas hidup pasien kanker payudara setelah dikontrol variabel lain. Berdasarkan analisis stratifikasi didapatkan hubungan yang signifikan (p value <0,05), di mana pada kelompok responden yang menggunakan CAM non-herbal selama 1-6 bulan memiliki peluang 6,75 kali (95% CI:1,12-40,56) untuk memiliki kualitas hidup baik dibandingkan dengan responden yang menggunakan jenis CAM herbal selama 1-6 bulan. Perlunya penelitian lebih lanjut dengan desain prospektif dan sampel yang lebih besar.

ABSTRACTBreast Cancer is the most type of cancer among women in the world and in Indonesia. In Indonesia, especially in “Dharmais” Cancer Hospital (RSKD) Jakarta increased number of cases in each periode of time from 21,46% in 1993-1997 to 40,58% in 2003-2007. In dealing with this disease, there is a cancer therapeutic modalities which are surgery, radiation, chemoterapy or a combination of all three. However, the reality these therapies have side effects that are not small in patients, particularly chemoterapy. This condition can affect the patient’s quality of life. The result of these conditions, many cancer patients use Complementar-Alternative Medicine (CAM) to alleviate the symptoms of the side effects they experienced. The porpose of this study was to determine the benefits of CAM to the quality of life of breast cancer patients who are undergoing chemoterapy as supportive therapy in RSKD. This study is a cross sectional analytic that conducted through interviews of 152 breast cancer patients who are chemoterapy and then verifying medical records. The result found that CAM use was not statistically significantly related to the quality of life of breast cancer patients after controlling for other variables. Based on stratification analysis found a significant relationship in which the respondents who use non-herbal types for 1-6 months had 6,75 times (95% CI: 1,12-40-56) the chance to have a good quality of life compared with respondents who used herbal types for 1-6 months. Need to do further research with a larger sample and prospective design."

"Kanker payudara adalah karsinoma atau keganasan pada beberapa morfologi sekaligus, dan salah satu terapi yang diberikan adalah kemoterapi. Kemoterapi yang dilakukan membutuhkan berbagai strategi keperawatan untuk membantu mengatasi berbagai efek yang ditimbulkannya termasuk dukungan keluarga. Maka tujuan penelitian ini adalah mengeksplorasi lebih mendalam tentang harapan pada pasien kanker payudara yang mendapat kemoterapi tentang dukungan keluarga. Selanjutnya penelitian dilakukan pada 5 partisipan dan menemukan 4 tema seperti : harapan untuk dapat melanjutkan normal dalam keluarga, harapan peningkatan pemahaman keluarga tentang dampak penyakit akibat kemoterapi dan perawatannya, harapan untuk di hargai, didengarkan dan ditemani, harapan untuk dibantu menyelesaikan masalah yang dihadapi akibat sakit oleh keluarga.

Objective: To determine the relationship between financial burden and the quality of life of cancer patients undergoing radiation therapy at the radiotherapy installation of the national referral hospital in Indonesia that utilizes the National Health Insurance (JKN).

Methods: A descriptive-analytical research design with a cross-sectional method was employed. Data were obtained from medical records and questionnaires containing the EORTC QLQ-C30 form to assess HRQoL, filled out through telephone interviews with cancer patients who had undergone radiotherapy at IPTOR RSUPN Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo from January 2022 to March 2023. An analysis was conducted to identify and understand the relationship between sociodemographic, clinical, and economic/economic burden characteristics with the HRQoL of cancer patients.

Results: From the analysis of each independent variable, it was found that for global health, there is a statistically significant relationship (p>0.25) with age (p=0.166), gender (p=0.090), stage (p=0.111), monthly income (p=0.114), and COST FACIT score (p<0.001). For physical function, the relationship variables are KPS (p=0.089), OTT (p=0.048), income (p=0.146), and COST FACIT score (p<0.001). Meanwhile, emotional function related to age (p=0.081), gender (p=0.113), KPS (p=0.119), radiation indication (p=0.188), OTT (p=0.053), OOP (p=0.021), financial catastrophe (p=0.135), and COST FACIT score (p<0.001). The results of multivariate analysis with linear regression show that only the COST FACIT score has a p-value <0.05 from its linear regression analysis for global health (p<0.001 b=0.443 R2=18.8%), physical function (p<0.001 b=0.456 R2=20.1%), and emotional function (p<0.001 b=0.523 R2=34.6%).

Conclusion: Financial toxicity is significantly related to assessing the HRQoL of cancer patients undergoing radiotherapy. Income, OOP, and financial catastrophe should also be considered and given attention when evaluating the HRQoL of cancer patients."

"Latar Belakang: Kanker payudara merupakan kanker yang paling sering terjadi di dunia dengan insidensi 25,1% dari semua jenis kanker. Pasien kanker payudara yang menjalani radiasi, umumnya tidak memenuhi kriteria malnutrisi pada skrining gizi namun kebanyakan pasien memiliki massa otot yang rendah, sehingga berpotensi mengalami penurunan kapasitas fungsional. Proses keganasan dan radiasi dapat menyebabkan peningkatan IL-6 yang berdampak pada penurunan kadar Hb. Kadar kolesterol LDL yang tinggi juga sering ditemukan pada pasien dengan obes/riwayat obes, peningkatan ini merugikan karena berdampak pada prognosis dan kesintasan pasien. Terapi medik gizi yang adekuat diperlukan pada pasien kanker payudara.Metode: Pasien kanker payudara berusia antara 36-79 tahun. Empat pasien telah menjalani mastektomi dan tiga di antaranya telah dikemoterapi. Pasien memiliki hasil skrining MST ≥2. Pemantauan yang dilakukan meliputi keluhan subjektif, kondisi klinis, tanda vital, pemeriksaan laboratorium, antropometri, komposisi tubuh, kapasitas fungsional dan analisis asupan 24 jam. Keempat pasien mendapatkan edukasi nutrisi, oral nutrition support (ONS), suplementasi vitamin dan mineral serta omega-3.Hasil: Dari hasil pemantauan diketahui bahwa pasien kanker payudara yang mendapatkan terapi medik gizi dapat meningkatkan asupan makanannya, berat badan, massa otot, kekuatan genggam tangan, kadar hemoglobin dan perbaikan kadar kolesterol LDL. Skor ECOG/Karnofsky Performance dari keempat pasien mengalami perbaikan bila dibandingkan dengan pemeriksaan awal.Kesimpulan: Terapi medik gizi dapat memperbaiki outcome klinis, kapasitas fungsional, antropometri, dan laboratorium pada semua pasien dalam serial kasus ini.

Background: Breast cancer is the most common cancer in the world with an incidency 25.1% of all types of cancer. Generally, breast cancer patients who had undergoing radiation did not meet the criteria for malnutrition based on nutritional screening, but most patient had low muscle mass that reduce functional capacity. Malignancy and radiation cause an increase of IL-6 which result a decrease in Hb levels. High LDL cholesterol levels were also found in obesity or history of obesity which affected the prognostic and survival of breast cacer patient. The patients mostly had skeletal mass decreased. Adequate nutritional therapy is needed for breast cancer patients.Method: The case saries reported breast cancer patients aged between 36-79 years. Three patients had mastectomy and chemotherapy, while the other had only mastectomy. Patients had MST screening ≥ 2. Patiens were examined of subjective complaints, clinical conditions, vital signs, laboratory examination, anthropometry, body composition, functional capacity and 24-hour intake analysis. The four patients received nutritional education, oral nutrition support (ONS), vitamin and mineral supplement and omega-3.Results: Breast cancer patients who got adequate nutritional therapy had increased their food intake, body weight, skeletal mass, handgrip strength, hemoglobin levels and improvement of LDL cholesterol levels. The ECOG/Karnofsky Performance Score of the all patients showed improvement from the initial examination.Conclusion: Medical nutrition therapy improves the outcome, nutritional status, laboratory parameters and body composition in breast cancer patients."

"Kanker payudara adalah kanker dengan prevalensi tertinggi di Indonesia. Dengan prevalensi sebesar 30–50%, nyeri kanker adalah salah satu komplikasi kanker tersering yang dapat menurunkan mutu hidup penderitanya. Nyeri kanker, yang merupakan sejenis nyeri campuran, dapat diakibatkan oleh perjalanan penyakit atau terapi antikanker. Umumnya nyeri kanker ditangani dengan pemberian opioid dengan/tanpa adjuvan. Namun, opioid memiliki efek samping yang bersifat dose-dependent sehingga penggunaannya harus tepat guna agar memaksimalkan manfaatnya sekaligus meminimalisasi risikonya. Studi ini meneliti efek dari pemberian adjuvan gabapentin terhadap intensitas nyeri dan dosis opioid pasien dengan nyeri kanker payudara. Data rekam medis dari 58 pasien dengan nyeri kanker payudara dari dua rumah sakit rujukan di Jakarta diinklusi untuk studi kohort retrospektif ini. Data yang diambil meliputi profil klinis pasien, derajat nyeri, dan dosis opioid. Analisis statistik tidak menemukan adanya perbedaan yang signifikan dalam median intensitas nyeri maupun median dosis opioid antara kelompok pasien dengan nyeri kanker payudara yang menerima adjuvan gabapentin dengan yang tidak. Masih diperlukan penelitian lebih lanjut untuk menentukan peran gabapentin sebagai adjuvan dalam tata laksana nyeri kanker. Penelitian-penelitian selanjutnya disarankan untuk memperbanyak jumlah pasien dan mengendalikan faktor-faktor perancu seperti status opioid dan pemberian adjuvan lain.

Breast cancer is the most prevalent cancer in Indonesia. With a prevalence of 30–50%, cancer pain is a frequent complication of cancer which may lower patient quality of life. Cancer pain, a type of mixed pain, may develop from cancer progression or anticancer therapy. Opioids with/without adjuvants are usually administered to manage cancer pain. However, opioids are associated with dose-dependent side effects. Hence, the administration of opioids should be efficient to maximize benefit and minimize risks. This research studied the effect of adjuvant gabapentin administration on the severity of pain and opioid dose of patients with breast cancer pain. This retrospective cohort study included medical records from 58 patients with breast cancer pain from two tertiary hospital in Jakarta. Patients’ clinical profile, pain severity level, and opioid doses were collected. Statistical analyses did not find a significant difference in median pain severity level and median opioid dose between patients with breast cancer pain who received gabapentin and those who do not. Further research is warranted to determine the role of gabapentin as adjuvant in the management of cancer pain. Future studies should increase the sample size and control confounders such as opioid status and the administration of other adjuvants."

Breast cancer occurs to many women. This study aimed to describe the knowledge and health care seeking behavior of breast cancer patients with simple descriptive research design. The respondents were 80 who are chosen by non probability convenience sampling. Majority of respondents have good knowledge about the general knowledge, the risk factors, the signs and symptoms, the screening and nursing care, but they lack about the treatment. The initial responses when there were changes in their breast included no action, telling somebody, seeking health care, getting alternative medicine and herbal. The delayed diagnosis experienced by most of the respondents. The husband became the largest selected person for the initial discussion. The surgeons and the government?s health facilities were chosen by most respondents at the first examination. Nurses need to improve the education provision about breast cancer to women and the breast cancer patients."
