"Latar Belakang: Kanker Nasofaring (KNF) merupakan keganasan yang sering di Indonesia. Molekul terkait imun yang banyak diteliti adalah Programmed Death-1 (PD-1)/Programmed Death-Ligand 1 (PD-L1). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui profil PD-L1 dari spesimen KNF di Indonesia. Metode: Spesimen biopsi massa nasofaring diambil untuk pemeriksaan konsentrasi protein PD-L1 dengan metode Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA). Pada spesimen yang terbukti secara histologis KNF dilakukan pemeriksaan Imunohistokimia (IHK) untuk mengetahui ekspresi PD-L1. Hasil: Lima puluh empat spesimen biopsi nasofaring diperoleh. Tiga puluh lima dari 54 spesimen dikonfirmasi secara histologis KNF yang tidak berdiferensiasi dengan usia rerata 51 tahun. Selebihnya, 19 spesimen lainnya secara histologis bukan KNF dengan usia rerata 37 tahun. Pada pemeriksaan ELISA, median konsentrasi PD-L1 dari spesimen KNF adalah 2100,73 ± 3689,52 pg/mg protein, dan spesimen bukan KNF adalah 1010,88 ± 1082,37 pg/mg protein. Pada pemeriksaan IHK 30 sampel KNF untuk pemeriksaan ekspresi PD-L1, semuanya mengekspresikan PD-L1 positif, dengan rincian; skor 1 sebanyak 7%, skor 2 sebanyak 30%, dan skor 3 sebanyak 63%. Kesimpulan: Protein PD-L1 dari spesimen KNF dengan pemeriksaan ELISA signifikan meningkat dibandingkan dengan bukan KNF. Semua spesimen KNF dengan pemeriksaan IHK mengeskspresikan PD-L1 positif dengan mayoritas skor 3.......Background: Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma (NPC) is a common malignancy in Indonesia. Immune-related molecules that have been studied are Programmed Death-1 (PD-1)/Programmed Death-Ligand 1 (PD-L1). This study aims to determine the profile of PD-L1 from NPC specimens in Indonesia. Method: A nasopharyngeal biopsy specimen was taken to examine the concentration of PD-L1 protein by the Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA). Immunohistochemistry (IHC) examinations were conducted to determine the PD-L1 expression. Results: Fifty-four nasopharyngeal biopsy specimens were obtained. Thirty-five of 54 specimens were confirmed histologically for undifferentiated NPC with an average age of 51 years.

On ELISA examination, the median PD-L1 concentration of the NPC specimen was 2100.73 ± 3689.52 pg/mg protein, and the non-KNF specimen was 1010.88 ± 1082.37 pg/mg protein. At the IHC examination of 30 NPC samples for PD-L1 expression examination, all of them expressed PD-L1 positive, with details; score 1 is 7%, score 2 is 30%, and score 3 is 63%. Conclusion: PD-L1 protein from NPC specimens by ELISA examination was significantly increased compared to non-NPC. All NPC specimens with IHC examination expressed PD-L1 positive with a majority score of 3."

"Karsinoma nasofaring (KNF) merupakan penyakit endemis di Indonesia dengan tingkat mortalitas yang tinggi. Salah satu penyebab mortalitas adalah metastasis jauh. VEGF-A terbukti berperan pada kejadian metastasis jauh KNF, namun penelitian yang membahas hubungan langsung keduanya masih terbatas. Selain VEGF, terdapat jalur pensinyalan lain terkait VEGF yang mungkin berperan dalam kejadian metastasis jauh, yaitu jalur pensinyalan Hippo. Protein Yes-Associated Protein (YAP) adalah downstream efektor utama dari jalur pensinyalan ini. Dengan dilakukan pulasan YAP serta dievaluasi hubungan antara YAP dengan VEGF-A diharapkan hasilnya dapat memberikan informasi mengenai potensi biomarker sebagai indikator prognostik kejadian metastasis jauh KNF. Penelitian menggunakan metode analitik observasional dengan uji Chi-square dan korelasi koefisien kontingensi. Terdapat perbedaan ekspresi YAP yang bermakna pada kelompok KNF dengan dan tanpa metastasis jauh (p<0,001). Terdapat perbedaan bermakna ekspresi VEGF-A pada kelompok KNF dengan dan tanpa metastasis jauh (p<0,001). Ekspresi YAP yang tinggi berhubungan dengan peningkatan ekspresi VEGF-A (p=0,001). Terdapat korelasi signifikan antara peningkatan ekspresi YAP dan peningkatan ekspresi VEGF-A dengan kekuatan lemah (C=0,397, p=0,01). Terdapat perbedaan bermakna koekspresi YAP tinggi dan VEGF-A tinggi (double co-high-expression) antara kelompok KNF dengan dan tanpa metastasis jauh (p<0,001). Penelitian ini mendukung sifat onkogenik YAP. YAP dan VEGF-A dapat menjadi biomarker potensial untuk memprediksi kejadian metastasis jauh KNF.......Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is an endemic disease in Indonesia with a high mortality rate. Distant metastasis is one of the leading causes of death. Although VEGF-A has been found to play a role in distant NPC metastasis, research on the relationship between the two is still limited. Another VEGF-related pathway, the Hippo pathway, may be involved in distant metastasis. Yes-Associated Protein (YAP) is the main downstream effector of this signaling pathway. It is expected that performing YAP marker and studying the relationship between YAP and VEGF-A, would provide data on the possibility of biomarkers that may be used as a prognostic predictor of the occurrence of distant metastasis in NPC. An observational analytic study was conducted—statistical analysis using SPSS 25.0 with Chi-square and contingency coefficients test. There was a significant difference in YAP expression between NPC with and without distant metastasis (p<0.001). The expression of VEGF-A differed significantly between NPC with and without distant metastasis (p<0.001). There was a significant relationship between YAP and VEGF-A (p=0.001) and a weak correlation (C 0.397, p=0.01). There was a significant difference in the double co-high-expression group between the KNF with and without distant metastasis (p<0.001). This study highlights YAP's oncogenic role in NPC, suggesting that YAP and VEGF-A might be potential biomarkers to predict distant metastasis in NPC."

"Latar Belakang: Indonesia menduduki urutan kedua terbanyak kasus karsinoma nasofaring (KNF) di dunia. CT masih menjadi modalitas awal untuk mendeteksi KNF. Akan tetapi gambaran CT pada KNF kadang sulit untuk dibedakan dengan nasofaringitis kronis (NFK) terutama jika ukuran tumor masih kecil. Texture analysis (TA) merupakan suatu metode matematika yang digunakan untuk menganalisis distribusi dan hubungan pixel gray level suatu gambar. TA banyak diteliti di bidang onkologi kepala dan leher untuk membedakan karakteristik tumor, jinak atau ganas, menilai respon terapi serta memprediksi prognosis pasien.Metode: Studi komparatif dengan desain potong lintang. Terdapat 27 sampel KNF dan 18 sampel NFK yang dilakukan ROI pada regio tumor, kemudian dilakukan pengukuran nilai histogram yang terdiri dari mean, skewness, kurtosis dan nilai grey level co-occurencce matrix (GLCM) terdiri dari homogeinity, energy, contrast, correlation, entropy. Nilai yang diperoleh dari kedua kelompok kemudian dibandingkan dengan menggunakan T-test atau Mann-Whitney U Test.Hasil: Tidak didapatkan perbedaan signifikan secara statistik untuk mean (P = 0,098), kurtosis (P = 0,914), skewness (P = 0,775), Homogeinity (P = 0,943), Energy (P = 0,745), Contrast (P = 0,891), Correlation (P = 0,517), Entropy (P = 0,286) antara kelompok KNF dan NFKKesimpulan: Tidak terdapat perbedaan signifikan dari nilai histogram (mean, skewness, kurtosis) dan nilai GLCM (homogeinity, energy, contrast, correlation, entropy) antara kelompok KNF dan NFK.......Background: : Indonesia is the second country with most nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) cases in the world. CT is still the initial modality for detecting NPC. However, CT imaging of NPC are sometimes difficult to distinguish from chronic nasopharyngitis (CNP), especially with small tumor size. Texture analysis (TA) is a mathematical method used to analyze the distribution and relationship of gray level pixels of an image. TA is widely studied in head and neck oncology to distinguish the characteristics of tumors, benign or malignant, assess response to therapy and predict patient prognosis.Methods: This is a cross-sectional comparative study. There were 27 NPC samples and 18 CNP samples with ROI performed on the tumor region, then measured the histogram value consisting of mean, skewness, kurtosis and the gray level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) consisting of homogeinity, energy, contrast, correlation, entropy. The values between two groups were then compared using the T-test or the Mann-Whitney U Test.Results: There were no statistically significant differences for mean (P = 0.098), kurtosis (P = 0.914), skewness (P = 0.775), Homogeinity (P = 0.943), Energy (P = 0.745), Contrast (P = 0.891), Correlation (P = 0.517), Entropy (P = 0.286) between NPC and CNP group.Conclusion: There were no significant difference for histogram values (mean, skewness, kurtosis) and GLCM values (homogeinity, energy, contrast, correlation, entropy) between the NPC and NFK groups."

"AbstrakNasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is the most frequent head and neck malignancy in Indonesia. Misdiagnosis of NPC is common because of unspecific symptoms as unilateral ear complaint. This case reminds doctors of the early symptoms of NPC and of other factors which lead to misdiagnosis and addresses also patients and their families. Reported is a 44 years old man with unilateral ear disorder that had been treated by otorhinolaryngologists, an ophthalmologist, a neurologist, and dentist first, but diagnosed with nasopharyngeal carcinoma stage IVA (T4N1M0) one year later. NPC has unspecific early symptoms such as unilateral ear disorder. Primarily doctors, but also patients and their families should be aware of unilateral ear complaint."

Nasopharyngeal cancer is a common malignancy in Southeast Asia with high mortality >rate. The previous studies showed that the patient survival rate are less than 80% worldwide. In Dharmais Cancer Hospital, nasopharyngeal carcinoma is in the top of 10 diseases with the highest case of stadium III cancer progression. The aim of this study is to determine the survival rate of nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients on the tumor response after receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by chemoradiation and their prognostic factors. A total of 261 patients referred between January 2009-December 2013 were restrospectively analyzed. Tumor response rate for patients with CR (complete response), PR (partial response) and PD (progressive disease) were 33.7%, 45.2% and 21.2% respectively. The 5-years survival rate on tumor response among CR, PR and PD were 71.0%, 30.4% and 10.6% respectively. The significant independent prognostic factors are tumor response, education backgrounds, jobs, alcohol consumption, stadium of cancer and prompt treatment. The probability of nasopharyngeal cancer patients receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by chemoradiation is higher to CR than PR and PD. Therefore, early detection could improve patients survival and more sample increased the result in this study."

"Latar Belakang: Kondisi besi berlebih, dengan feritin dan saturasi transferin sebagai surrogate marker, akan menimbulkan oksigen radikal bebas (ROS) yang menyebabkan stress oksidatif. Malondialdehid (MDA) merupakan ROS yang terbentuk dari peroksidase lemak sedangkan (manganese)superoksid dismutase (MnSOD) sebagai enzim yang mengubah radikal bebas oksigen menjadi oksigen biasa. Transfusi darah sering digunakan untuk mengatasi anemia pada kanker, namun juga berpotensi meningkatkan beban besi pada tubuh. Penelitian ini melihat peran transfusi darah terhadap feritin serum dan saturasi transferin serta kaitannya dengan stres oksidatif pada pasien kanker nasofaring.Tujuan: Mengetahui peranan transfusi sel darah merah (SDM) dalam kaitannya dengan perubahan kadar feritin serum dan saturasi transferin serta korelasinya dengan stress oksidatif pada pasien kanker nasofaring (KNF) yang menjalani kemoradiasi.Metode: Studi kohort prospektif. Pengambilan data dilakukan di klinik Hematologi-Onkologi Medik IPD RSCM Jakarta secara consecutive sampling pada bulan November 2015-Februari 2016. Pasien KNF yang menjalani kemoradiasi diperiksakan kadar feritin serum, saturasi transferin, MDA, MnSOD pra dan pasca terapi. Dilakukan pencatatan jumlah transfusi sel darah merah yang diterima. Analisa data menggunakan T-test/Mann Whitney dan uji korelasi Spearman.Hasil: Total 38 pasien yang menjalani kemoradiasi, usia rata-rata 47 tahun, laki-laki dan perempuan 4:1. Sebanyak 18 pasien (47,4%) menerima transfusi sel darah merah selama pengobatan. Didapatkan peningkatan rerata saturasi transferin sebesar 15,1% (p=0,016) dan MDA sebesar 1,368 (p=0,001) pada pasien yang mendapatkan transfusi SDM dibandingkan yang tidak mendapatkan transfusi. Tidak didapatkan perbedaan yang signifikan pada feritin serum (p= 0,35) dan MnSOD (p= 0,496) antara yang mendapatkan transfusi SDM dengan yang tidak. Didapatkan korelasi lemah antara feritin serum dengan MDA dan MnSOD (r=0,239 dan r= -0,374) dan tidak didapatkan korelasi antara saturasi transferin dengan MDA dan MnSOD (r=0,191 dan r=0,027).Simpulan: Terdapat peningkatan rerata saturasi transferin dan MDA pada pasien yang mendapatkan transfusi SDM. Tidak terdapat peningkatan feritin serum ataupun penurunan MnSOD. Terdapat korelasi yang lemah antara peningkatan kadar feritin serum dengan MDA dan MnSOD pada pasien KNF pasca kemoradiasi dan transfusi sel darah merah. Tidak terdapat korelasi antara kadar saturasi transferin dengan MDA dan MnSOD pada pasien KNF yang mendapat transfusi sel darah merah. ......Background: The presence of free iron in the circulation will induce the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) which result in cell injury. The free radical formed and cause lipid peroxidation which in result cause formation of malondialdehyde (MDA). (manganese)Superoxide Dismutase (MnSOD) as antioxidant enzyme have anti tumor activity and the level often found low in cancer patient. Ferritin and transferrin saturation are predictor of iron overload. Blood transfusion is the therapy often used to resolve anemia in cancer, but also increase iron burden in body. This study focus on the role of blood transfusion to serum ferritin and transferrin saturation and its correlation with oxidative stress in patients with nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC).Objective: To know the role of red blood cell (RBC) transfusion and its relations to serum ferritin and transferin saturation level and their correlation with oxidative stress in nasopharyngeal cancer patients undergoing chemoradiation.Methods: Prospective study. Sample obtained with consecutive sampling method collected in the Hematology-Medical Oncology Clinic in Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital Jakarta November 2015 to February 2015. NPC patients undergoing chemoradiation, blood examination performed to measure ferritin, saturation transferrin, malondialdehyde, MnSOD before and after treatment. During treatment the amount of transfusion received is recorded. Data analysis done using T-test/Mann Whitney and Spearman correlation test.Results: Total of 38 patients received chemoradiation, mean age 47,97 years old, proportion man compare woman is 4:1. During treatment 18 patients (47,4%) received red blood cell transfusion. Difference in mean found between transferrin saturation 15,1% (p=0,016) and MDA serum 1,358 nM (p=0,001) in patient receiving RBC transfusion compare to subject not receving transfusion. There are no significantly differences in serum ferritin and MnSOD level between both group. We found a weak correlation between raise of serum ferritin to the raise of MDA and the declining of MnSOD (r = 0,239 and r= -0,374). There are no correlation between transferin saturation with MDA nor MnSODConclusions : Increase in transferin saturation and MDA level found in NPC receiving RBC transfusion after chemoradiation. There is a weak correlation found between serum ferritin with MDA and MnSOD in nasopharyngeal cancer undergoing chemotherapy radiation therapy receiving RBC transfusion and no correlation between transferin saturation with MDA and MnSOD changes."
