Abstract
OBJECTIVES Colon and rectal cancer are associated with different risk factors and prognostic. However, this discrepancy has not been widely explored in the local population. This study aimed to investigate the site-specific likelihood of colorectal cancer (CRC) incidence in the Yogyakarta province, Indonesia. METHODS This cross-sectional study analyses 1,295 CRC cases diagnosed in 2008-2019 registered in the Yogyakarta population-based cancer registry (PBCR) database. Cases were grouped into colon and rectal cancer. Log-binomial regression was used to determine the relative risk of either colon or rectal cancer across different gender, age group, and rurality of residence. The age-specific rates were calculated by age group and temporal trend for each group were analyzed using joinpoint regression. RESULTS Females displayed higher odds of colon cancer (relative risk/RR = 1.20, 95%CI = 1.02-1.41) and lower odds of rectal cancer (RR = 0.92, 95%CI = 0.85-0.99). Elevated odds of colon cancer were observed in younger age group, especially 30-39 (RR = 1.87, 95%CI = 1.10-3.19), while decreased odds of rectal cancer was apparent in age group 30-39 and 40-49 (RR = 0.75, 95%CI = 0.60-0.93 and RR = 0.82, 95%CI = 0.69-0.98, respectively). Living in urban or rural areas did not significantly influence the odds of either having colon (RR = 0.98, 95%CI = 0.82-1.17) or rectal cancer (RR = 1.01, 95%CI = 0.93-1.10). During 2008-2019, trends of colon cancer in age <50 increased by 8.15% annually while rectal cancer displayed a 9.71% increase annually prior to 2017, followed by a 17.23% decrease until 2019. CONCLUSIONS Yogyakarta population shows higher odds of young-onset colon cancer, especially between age 30-39 years old. Overall observation of trend shows increasing incidence in young-onset colon cancer, and non-significant decrease in rectal cancer.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aims to characterize patient-reported chemotherapy-induced toxicity in patients with breast cancer, determine its association with treatment regimens and patient characteristics, identify toxicity symptom clusters within a specific chemotherapy timeframe and analyze the correlation between symptom clusters within and between the timeframe to understand the changes and influences across chemotherapy. METHODS Forty-six patient-reported toxicities during neoadjuvant/adjuvant chemotherapy for breast cancer were evaluated using adapted CTCAE version 4.0. Chi-Square/Fisher's Exact test was performed to analyze the difference in the incidence of toxicity symptoms by chemotherapy regimens. Poisson regression performed to assess factors associated with patient's total chemotherapy toxicity. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) conducted to identify symptom clusters at T1 (first half) and T2 (second half of planned cycle). Factor scores were generated and Spearman correlation performed to explore the factor scores correlation between symptom clusters. RESULTS A total of 142 patients with stage I-III breast cancer were included. The incidence of several toxicities differed significantly among three chemotherapy regimens. Subjects age ≥51 years are associated with lower number of reported toxicity (IRR/incidence rate ratio = 0.94, 95% confidence interval/CI 0.88 to 0.99, p = 0.042). Receiving more chemotherapy cycles are associated with higher number of reported toxicity (IRR = 1.06, 95% CI 1.03 to 1.10, p<0.001). Two symptom clusters identified at T1 (psychoneurological-pain/PNP-T1 and gastrointestinal-psychological/GIP-T1 cluster) and three at T2 (psychoneurological-pain/PNP-T2, epithelial/EPI-T2, and gastrointestinal cluster/GI-T2), with moderate-strong positive correlation between PNP-T1 and GIP-T2 (p<0.001), PNP-T1 and PNP-T2 (p<0.001), and GIP-T1 and PNP-T2 (p<0.001). CONCLUSIONS This study investigated 46 patient-reported toxicities prospectively during adjuvant/neoadjuvant chemotherapy for early breast cancer. Anthracycline-taxane combination regimen had higher proportions of toxicity incidence. Subject's age and number of chemotherapy cycles significantly associated with total number of toxicity symptoms. Two symptom clusters at T1 and three at T2 were identified, with significant correlation between symptom clusters within and between chemotherapy timeframe.

Abstract
Background Chemotherapy-induced neutropenia (CIN) is a substantial side effect in chemotherapy of breast cancer patients. Administration of granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) that may reduce CIN occurrence is not commonly available to many local cases. Objectives To investigate the occurrence of grade 4 CIN and the influencing factors in breast cancer patients not receiving G-CSF prophylaxis. Methods One-hundred and eighty-six newly diagnosed breast cancer patients who received a 3-weekly (neo)adjuvant or palliative chemotherapy without primary G-CSF prophylaxis were included. Grade 4 CIN was defined as absolute neutrophil count (ANC) <0.5 × 103/mm3 during any chemotherapy cycle. We used logistic regression to explore the association of clinical, pathological and treatment factors with the risk of grade 4 CIN in the first cycle and in any given cycle. Results Fifty-seven (30.6%) patients experienced grade 4 CIN in the first cycle and 145 (78%) had it at least once during chemotherapy. In the first cycle, haemoglobin, ANC, and albumin levels were associated with grade 4 CIN (OR = 1.48, p = 0.031; OR = 0.68, p = 0.006; and OR = 2.07, p = 0.042). In any cycle, pre-treatment ANC levels and anthracycline-taxane combination regimen were associated with grade 4 CIN (OR = 0.78, p = 0.032 and OR = 3.64, p = 0.012). Conclusions A significant proportion of the local breast cancer cases undergoing chemotherapy without primary G-CSF prophylaxis experienced grade 4 CIN. Haemoglobin, ANC, and albumin levels are the risk factors for first cycle CIN, while pre-treatment ANC levels and anthracycline-taxane chemotherapy regimen are associated with CIN in any given cycle. These risk factors may be used to direct a recommendation of G-CSF prophylaxis to the most at-risk individuals in the local setting or other settings in similar situations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cerebral ischemia and hemorrhages were reported to be the main complications of polycythemia vera (PV). The relationship between PV and increased risk of the cerebrovascular events has been established. Some patients with secondary polycythemia have thromboembolic events comparable to those of PV. However, secondary polycythemia that leads to cerebrovascular events is uncommon. CASE REPORT A 35-year-old man without any prior medical history presented with mild clinical acute ischemic stroke and polycythemia. The patient then showed worsening neurological deficits that were later attributed to the concurrent cerebral venous thrombosis, which led to malignant cerebral infarction with hemorrhagic transformation, and subarachnoid hemorrhage. His polycythemia appeared to be secondary to bacterial infection. The treatments for the secondary polycythemia were first phlebotomy and intravenous hydration, followed by intravenous broad-spectrum antibiotics. PV was excluded because the JAK2 V617F mutation was absent, the patient's peripheral blood smear suggested secondary polycythemia due to bacterial infection, and there were improvements in hemoglobin, erythrocyte count, and hematocrit after intravenous antibiotics. At the 1-month follow-up, he was moderately dependent, and hemoglobin, erythrocyte count, and hematocrit were within normal limits, without receiving any further phlebotomy or cytoreductive agents. CONCLUSIONS This case highlights the plausible causation of secondary polycythemia that could lead to concomitant cerebral thrombosis and hemorrhagic events. The diagnosis of cerebral venous thrombosis should be considered in a patient who presents with headache, focal neurological deficits, polycythemia, and normal head computed tomography scan.

Abstract
Adrenal insufficiency in systemic lupus erythematosus is rarely detected, especially in male patients. Nevertheless, such coexistence can occur, and screening for systemic lupus erythematosus should be considered in primary adrenal insufficiency with symptoms of systemic multiorgan involvement. We report a 22-year-old Asian man, initially diagnosed with bicytopenia, developed severe unintentional weight loss, skin and mucosal hyperpigmentation, along with persistent fatigue. Laboratory examination showed positive antinuclear antibody-indirect immunofluorescence, elevated anti-double-stranded DNA, extremely low morning serum cortisol, and mildly elevated thyroid stimulating hormone with normal free T4. He was diagnosed with systemic lupus erythematosus, manifesting as chronic primary adrenal insufficiency, subclinical hypothyroidism, and bicytopenia. He was treated with mycophenolic acid of 180 mg b.i.d, methylprednisolone of 4 mg q.d, and vitamin D3 1000 IU q.d. Methylprednisolone was given for its anti-inflammatory property and as a simple once-daily regimen to supplement glucocorticoid deficiency. Levothyroxine was not prescribed for our patient since his thyroid stimulating hormone was only mildly elevated, and supplementation of levothyroxine in the setting of adrenal insufficiency might precipitate an adrenal crisis. At the 6-month follow-up, he was no longer fatigued, he regained his body weight, his skin and mucosal hyperpigmentation improved significantly, his thyroid stimulating hormone level normalized (without levothyroxine supplementation), and his complete blood count stabilized, remitting him from the need for transfusion.

Abstract
Purpose To determine the prognostic value of vimentin in triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) patients, specifically in relation to chemotherapy regimen and p53 mutant expression. Patient and Methods We retrospectively analyzed the association of pre-treatment tumor expression of vimentin with 48-month overall survival (OS) of 72 all stages TNBC patients diagnosed between 2014 and 2018 in relation to chemotherapy regimen and expression of p53 mutant. Vimentin and p53 mutant expressions were examined using immunohistochemistry. Analysis was conducted on all patients collectively, then repeated on two cohorts divided according to the chemotherapy regimen. Sub-analysis was performed to determine the effect of p53 mutant expression on the prognostic value of vimentin. Results Vimentin was expressed in 43.1% of patients and was not associated with clinicopathologic characteristics. Vimentin was associated with improved 48-month OS in all patients in univariate analysis but not significant in multivariate analysis. When analyzed according to chemotherapy regimen, vimentin was independently associated with improved 48-month OS in patients receiving non-platinum-based chemotherapy (80% vs 15.8%; HR: 0.17, 95% CI: 0.05-0.58, p: 0.005). Other independent prognostic factors include T (HR: 6.18, 95% CI: 1.38-27.7, p: 0.017) and M (HR: 5.64, 95% CI: 1.2-26.33, p: 0.028). On subanalysis, vimentin was significantly associated with improved 48-month OS in patients expressing p53 mutant (69.2% vs 22.2%, p: 0.006) but was not significant in patients not expressing p53 mutant. Conclusion Vimentin expression was independently associated with improved 48-month OS in TNBC patients treated with non-platinum-based chemotherapy. Expression of p53 mutant significantly affected the prognostic value of vimentin.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Breast cancer is a significant public health concern worldwide, including in Indonesia. Little is known about the spatial and temporal patterns of breast cancer incidence in Indonesia. This study aimed to analyze temporal and spatial variations of breast cancer incidence in Yogyakarta Province, Indonesia. METHODS The study used breast cancer case data from the Yogyakarta Population-Based Cancer Registry (PBCR) from 2008 to 2019. The catchment areas of the PBCR included the 48 subdistricts of 3 districts (Sleman, Yogyakarta City, and Bantul). Age-standardized incidence rates (ASR) were calculated for each subdistrict. Joinpoint regression was used to detect any significant changes in trends over time. Global Moran's and Local Indicators of Spatial Association (LISA) analyses were performed to identify any spatial clusters or outliers. RESULTS The subdistricts had a median ASR of 41.9, with a range of 15.3-70.4. The majority of cases were diagnosed at a late stage, with Yogyakarta City having the highest proportion of diagnoses at stage 4. The study observed a significant increasing trend in breast cancer incidence over the study period the fastest of which is in Yogyakarta City with an average annual percentage change of 18.77%, with Sleman having an 18.21% and Bantul having 8.94% average changes each year (p <0.05). We also found a significant positive spatial autocorrelation of breast cancer incidence rates in the province (I = 0.581, p <0.001). LISA analysis identified 11 subdistricts which were high-high clusters in the central area of Yogyakarta City and six low-low clusters in the southeast region of the catchment area in the Bantul and Sleman Districts. No spatial outliers were identified. CONCLUSIONS We found significant spatial clustering of BC ASR in the Yogyakarta Province, and there was a trend of increasing ASR across the region. These findings can inform resource allocation for public health efforts to high-risk areas and develop targeted prevention and early detection strategies. Further res is needed to understand the factors driving the observed temporal and spatial patterns of breast cancer incidence in Yogyakarta Province, Indonesia.

We aimed to explore the district-level temporal dynamics and sub-district level geographical variations of colorectal cancer (CRC) incidence in the Special Region of Yogyakarta Province. We performed a cross-sectional study using data from the Yogyakarta population-based cancer registry (PBCR) comprised of 1,593 CRC cases diagnosed in 2008-2019. The age-standardized rates (ASRs) were determined using 2014 population data. The temporal trend and geographical distribution of cases were analysed using joinpoint regression and Moran's I statistics. During 2008-2019, CRC incidence increased by 13.44% annually. Joinpoints were identified in 2014 and 2017, which were also the periods when annual percentage change (APC) was the highest throughout the observation periods (18.84). Significant APC changes were observed in all districts, with the highest in Kota Yogyakarta (15.57). The ASR of CRC incidence per 100,000 person- years was 7.03 in Sleman, 9.20 in Kota Yogyakarta, and 7.07 in Bantul district. We found a regional variation of CRC ASR with a concentrated pattern of hotspots in the central sub-districts of the catchment areas and a significant positive spatial autocorrelation of CRC incidence rates in the province (I=0.581, p<0.001). The analysis identified four high-high clusters sub-districts in the central catchment areas. This is the first Indonesian study reported from PBCR data, showing an increased annual CRC incidence during an extensive observation period in the Yogyakarta region. A heterogeneous distribution map of CRC incidence is included. These findings may serve as basis for CRC screening implementation and healthcare services improvement.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chemotherapy based on 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) is a well-established treatment for solid cancers, including metastatic or advanced colon cancer. Despite its efficacy, 5-FU can cause rare but serious adverse events such as acute neurotoxicity, which presents as symptoms similar to stroke. CASE REPORT We report the case of a patient who was diagnosed with stage IV colorectal cancer and who underwent chemotherapy with a high dose of 5-FU as part of the FOLFIRI (Folinic Acid, Fluorouracil, Irinotecan) treatment plan. During the seventh, eighth, and ninth cycles of chemotherapy, the patient suffered from severe encephalopathy, and the cause of this condition was determined to the 46-hour continuous intravenous infusion of 5-FU, which was part of the FOLFIRI regimen. CONCLUSIONS 5-FU-induced hyperammonemic encephalopathy is a rare but serious adverse event that requires immediate recognition and treatment. The first step in managing this condition is to halt the 5-FU infusion and provide the patient with high volumes of fluid. Although most cases of 5-FU-induced encephalopathy resolve spontaneously, recurrence is possible if the drug is re-administered to the same patient. Therefore, it is crucial for healthcare providers to closely monitor patients receiving 5-FU chemotherapy and be aware of the signs and symptoms of hyperammonemic encephalopathy. Early intervention can prevent further complications and ensure the best possible outcome for the patient. It is important to note that while 5-FU-induced hyperammonemic encephalopathy is rare, it highlights the importance of closely monitoring patients receiving chemotherapy to identify and treat adverse events promptly. This can help improve patient outcomes and prevent serious long-term complications.

Abstract
Malaria is known to be a significant risk factor and also a potential complicating factor during the treatment of lymphoid malignancy. There has not been a reported case of malaria reactivation that occurred weeks after cytotoxic chemotherapy completion, especially in non-endemic regions. Our patient was a 47-year-old man with a history of repeated falciparum malaria infection experiencing 2 months of progressive unilateral nasal blockage and recurrent anterior epistaxis, which was diagnosed as diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) through pathological examination. He was treated with six cycles of classical R-CHOP, resulting in complete remission. One month after remission, he experienced shivering, fever, sweating, and a return to normal temperature, which repeated irregularly for roughly 1 week. His laboratory result showed anaemia, leucopenia, and profound thrombocytopenia. Immunochromatographic testing (ICT) confirmed the diagnosis of falciparum malaria. This case was considered a relapse since our centre is not in the malaria-endemic region. He was cured with a combination of dihydroartemisinin-piperaquine and primaquine. Our case demonstrated the duality of malaria as potential aetiology and treatment complicating factor in DLBCL.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Lung cancer is the second most common cancer and leading cause of cancer mortality worldwide. Recent advances in molecular testing and targeted therapy have improved survival among patients with metastatic non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). We sought to quantify and describe molecular testing among metastatic non-squamous NSCLC cases in selected Southeast Asian countries and describe first-line therapy chosen. PATIENTS AND METHODS A retrospective study was conducted based on incident lung cancer cases diagnosed between 2017 and 2019 in Lampang (Thailand), Penang (Malaysia), Singapore and Yogyakarta (Indonesia). Cases (n = 3413) were defined using the International Classification of Diseases for Oncology third edition. In Singapore, a clinical series obtained from the National Cancer Centre was used to identify patients, while corresponding population-based cancer registries were used elsewhere. Tumor and clinical information were abstracted by chart review according to a predefined study protocol. Molecular testing of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) gene rearrangement, ROS1 gene rearrangement and BRAF V600 mutation was recorded. RESULTS Among 2962 cases with a specified pathological diagnosis (86.8%), most patients had non-squamous NSCLC (75.8%). For cases with staging information (92.1%), the majority presented with metastatic disease (71.3%). Overall, molecular testing rates in the 1528 patients with stage IV non-squamous NSCLC were 67.0% for EGFR, 42.3% for ALK, 39.1% for ROS1, 7.8% for BRAF and 36.1% for PD-L1. Among these patients, first-line systemic treatment included chemotherapy (25.9%), targeted therapy (35.6%) and immunotherapy (5.9%), with 31% of patients having no record of antitumor treatment. Molecular testing and the proportion of patients receiving treatment were highly heterogenous between the regions. CONCLUSIONS This first analysis of data from a clinically annotated registry for lung cancer from four settings in Southeast Asia has demonstrated the feasibility of integrating clinical data within population-based cancer registries. Our study results identify areas where further development could improve patient access to optimal treatment.

Abstract
Objectives
To observe pre- and post-treatment vitamin D level and its association with treatment and concomitant factors in breast cancer patients treated with chemotherapy.
Methods
We performed a pre-post observational analysis that nested in an ongoing prospective cohort study of breast cancer patients at Dr. Sardjito General Hospital, Yogyakarta, Indonesia. 136 subjects were recruited from the main study. Information on subjects’ socio-demographic characteristics clinical status, and tumour profile was assessed at baseline. Number of chemotherapy cycles and chemotherapy-induced nausea vomiting (CINV) were also recorded. Vitamin D concentration was measured using ELISA methods at baseline and post-treatment. Vitamin D level of <20 ng/ml and <12 ng/ml were defined as deficiency and severe deficiency. Correlation between socio-demographic and clinical profile with baseline vitamin D was tested using Spearman correlation. Paired t-test was used to evaluate changes in post-treatment vitamin D concentration. The odds ratio for a subject to experience post-treatment vitamin D decrease was assessed based on number of chemotherapy cycles and CINV severity.
Results
The mean vitamin D level before chemotherapy was very low (8.80±3.64 ng/ml) in the whole panel. Higher AST level were associated with lower vitamin D level at baseline (r = -0.188, p = 0.028). Severe deficiency was found in 82.4% subjects at baseline and the rate increased to 89.0% after chemotherapy. Eighty-five cases showed a decrease level whereas 51 showed a slight improvement. Overall, a significant decrease of the vitamin D level was observed after chemotherapy (median change 3.13±4.03 ng/ml, p <0.001). Subjects who received >6 cycles of chemotherapy were less likely to experience a decreased level of post-treatment vitamin D (OR = 0.436, 95% CI = 0.196–0.968, p = 0.039).
Conclusions
Indonesian breast cancer patients showed pre-existing severe vitamin D deficiency and deterioration of vitamin D after chemotherapy. Future research is needed to explore its implication towards patients’ survival in the local setting. Evidence-based approach also needs to be taken to address this modifiable condition, including increasing awareness of the importance of maintaining vitamin D sufficiency both in patients and the general population.

Abstract
Introduction Limited research exists exploring the experience of living with advanced breast cancer in Indonesia. We sought to explore the narratives of women with breast cancer across the illness trajectory to understand their experiences from diagnosis to accessing and undergoing cancer treatments to inform the development of cancer care. Methods A nested, exploratory study adopting a qualitative approach. We conducted in-depth face-to-face interviews with women living with advanced breast cancer in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. We purposively sampled participants by age, education and marital status. All interviews were transcribed verbatim with thematic analysis used to identify, analyse and report patterns and themes within the data. Findings Four main themes were derived: 1) Early experiences, prior to accessing health care; 2) Navigating the system to access treatment; 3) Enduring chemotherapy and advancing disease, with crucial family support; 4) Seeking normalcy and belief in treatment. From initial symptoms through to undergoing treatments, the experience of participants was punctuated by barriers and challenges. Discussion Presentation delays were driven by dismissing initial symptoms, seeking alternative medicines, and fear of surgery. Access to healthcare required participants to contend with long-distance travel to facilities, tiered and convoluted referral processes, and adverse effects and financial impact of treatments. Individual determination, belief in God, and the role of families were critical throughout the disease trajectory. Adopting a focus across the disease trajectory facilitated the identification of enduring and persistent challenges to care delivery that can inform targeted development and optimisation of care delivery for women with breast cancer. This is the first exploration of breast cancer patients' experiences across the disease trajectory in Indonesia. Patients endure convoluted referral processes, long distance travel, and commonly experience financial burden and severe side effects. Family play a critical role in providing physical, psychological and financial support during treatment. Healing is understood as resuming normalcy in daily activity, mobility and independence rather than cure. Focusing across the disease trajectory facilitated the identification of enduring and persistent challenges to care delivery that can inform targeted development of care delivery.

Type of funding sources: None.
Background
Endothelial dysfunction caused by anthracycline is one of the key mechanism of chemotherapy induced cardiomyopathy that ultimately resulted in heart remodeling and exercise limitations. An endothelial molecular factor Endothelin-1 (ET-1) is known to be extremely important in vasoconstriction and angiogenesis. Interestingly, ET-1 concentration is also altered in vascular injury following anthracycline administration suggesting a distinct association. Nonetheless, the correlation between ET-1 and functional capacity in chemotherapy induced cardiomyopathy remained largely unknown.
Purpose
To elucidate correlation between ET-1 serum concentration with left ventricular (LV) function and functional capacity using echocardiography and 6 minute walk test (6MWT) following anthracycline-based chemotherapy in patient with breast cancer.
Methods
This is a prospective study that involves 19 female participants diagnosed with breast cancer (stage IIA-IV) receiving first line chemotherapy with 4-8 cycles of anthracycline-based regiments. Baseline pre-chemotherapy characteristics, ET-1 serum concentration, echocardiography and 6MWT, followed by post-chemotherapy evaluation were measured. Additionally, 6MWT were also performed at 6 months and 12 months after completion of chemotherapy.
Results
ET-1 serum significantly increased post-chemotherapy (1.521±0.57 vs 1.817±0.52 pg/mL, p=0.0169) in comparison with baseline. 6MWT distance was decreased after initial pre-chemotherapy measurement (372.5±84.23), 366.8±51.96 and 358.5±51.97 post-chemotherapy and 6 months after chemotherapy completion respectively. Moreover, post-chemotherapy LV ejection fraction (LVEF) was significantly lower in high ET-1 group (≥ 1.817 pg/mL) as compared to patients with low ET-1 (70.39±3.75 vs 65.80±2.49, p=0.0465) regardless comparable baseline LVEF. In addition, Pearson’s correlation test displayed a tendency of negative correlation between post chemotherapy ET-1 with 6MWT distance post-chemotherapy and 6 months after chemotherapy completion (r = -0.264, p=0.2745, 95% CI = -0.64-0.22 and r = -0.172, p=0.4803, 95% CI = -0.58-0.3).
Conclusion
Collectively, these findings strongly suggest that ET-1 may serve as a novel biomarker to predict compromised functional capacity in cancer patients underwent chemotherapy, arguably requires further investigations.

Abstract
Chemotherapy is a commonly used cancer treatment. However, it causes physical side effects and psychological side effects such as distress. Providing prechemotherapy education using audiovisual methods can reduce distress, but not all research about the use of educational videos have the same conclusions. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of prechemotherapy education using audio visual methods on distress of patients with cancer. This study was a quasi-experiment using pre-test and posttest design with a control group. Eighty-two cancer patients who undergo chemotherapy for the first time were divided into 2 groups with forty-one patients in the control group and forty-one patients in the intervention group. Patients in the control group received education with a booklet (usual care), while the intervention group received prechemotherapy education using audio visual materials. Patients completed a distress thermometer before and 1-2 weeks after chemotherapy. The analysis used the Wilcoxon test in each group before and 1-2 weeks after prechemotherapy education. The Mann-Whitney tests were used to determine the difference in distress scores between the two groups. Statistical significance was defined as p value < 0.05. The effect of prechemotherapy education in each group was in the control group (p = 0.004) and the intervention group (p = 0.000). The control group had a mean decrease of 1.69 points, and the intervention group had a mean decrease of 1.29 points. There was a significant difference of distress between control group and intervention group with a p value of 0.037. The conclusion is the prechemotherapy education using audio visual method can reduce distress in patients with cancer in addition to the usual method.

Abstract
Background: Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL) has been classified based on Cell of Origin (COO) into Germinal Center B-cell (GCB) and Non-Germinal Center B-cell (Non-GCB). The practical application of this concept by immunohistochemistry (IHC)-based subtyping with Hans’ algorithm and its role as a prognostic factor has been widely investigated with conflicting results. Moreover, the recent deeper molecular characterizations of DLBCL have been another challenges for this approach to remain as a prognostic factor. Objective: To determine the prognostic value of COO by IHC-based subtyping with Hans’ algorithm for DLBCL. Materials and Methods: This was a single-center retrospective analysis including DLBCL cases diagnosed in 2014-2019 from Dr. Sardjito Hospital, Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Hans’ algorithm with CD10, BCL6, and MUM1 were used. The two subtypes were compared in terms of clinicopathological features and 3 years overall survival. Results: Seventy patients were included in this study. Non-GCB was predominant than GCB 74.3% vs 25.7%, with the ratio of 2.8:1. No statistical difference in the clinicopathological features from both subtypes in terms of age, gender, Ann Arbor stadium, ECOG performance status, extra-nodal involvement, and LDH level. Ann Arbor stadium and ECOG showed significant prognostic value for patients outcome with multivariate analysis (OR 3.64; 95%CI 0.18-0.61; p=0.001) and (OR 2.68; 95%CI 0.11-0.77; p=0.009). Survival analysis based on COO did not show significant difference between GCB and non-GCB subtypes (log rank=0.46). Further analysis based on COO and the use of rituximab showed better OS in the two subtypes than without rituximab although not significant (log rank=0.67). Conclusion: The role of COO with Hans’ algorithm as prognostic factor in DLBCL is not confirmed in this study. Some related factors may be the addition of rituximab and the recent molecular characterization of DLBCL which covered a more subtle classification of the disease beyond GCB and non-GCB subtypes.

Abstract
Purpose
To investigate factors associated with delays in presentation and diagnosis of women with confirmed breast cancer (BC).
Methods
A cross-sectional study nested in an ongoing prospective cohort study of breast cancer patients at Dr Sardjito Hospital, Yogyakarta, Indonesia, was employed. Participants (n = 150) from the main study were recruited, with secondary information on demographic, clinical, and tumor variables collected from the study database. A questionnaire was used to gather data on other socioeconomic variables, herbal consumption, number of healthcare visits, knowledge-attitude-practice of BC, and open-ended questions relating to initial presentation. Presentation delay (time between initial symptom and first consultation) was defined as ≥3 months. Diagnosis delay was defined as ≥1 month between presentation and diagnosis confirmation. Impact on disease stage and determinants of both delays were examined. A Kruskal-Wallis test was used to assess the length and distribution of delays by disease stage. A multivariable logistic regression analysis was conducted to explore the association between delays, cancer stage and factors.
Results
Sixty-five (43.3%) patients had a ≥3-month presentation delay and 97 (64.7%) had a diagnosis confirmation by ≥1 month. Both presentation and diagnosis delays increased the risk of being diagnosed with cancer stage III-IV (odds ratio/OR 2.21, 95% CI 0.97–5.01, p = 0.059 and OR 3.03, 95% CI 1.28–7.19, p = 0.012). Visit to providers ≤3 times was significantly attributed to a reduced diagnosis delay (OR 0.15, 95% CI 0.06–0.37, p <0.001), while having a family history of cancer was significantly associated with increased diagnosis delay (OR 2.28, 95% CI 1.03–5.04, p = 0.042). The most frequent reasons for delaying presentation were lack of awareness of the cause of symptoms (41.5%), low perceived severity (27.7%) and fear of surgery intervention (26.2%).
Conclusions
Almost half of BC patients in our setting had a delay in presentation and 64.7% experienced a delay in diagnosis. These delays increased the likelihood of presentation with a more advanced stage of disease. Future research is required in Indonesia to explore the feasibility of evidence-based approaches to reducing delays at both levels, including educational interventions to increase awareness of BC symptoms and reducing existing complex and convoluted referral pathways for patients suspected of having cancer.

Abstract
The highest prevalence of breast cancer in Indonesia is in the Province of Yogyakarta. dr. Sardjito General Hospital has quite complete clinical data on breast cancer patients. Characteristics of the population in various regions in Indonesia are different from one another. This problem is the basis for doing this research. Statistical data analysis needs to be done in each area for better diagnosis and treatment of cancer. Data recording is carried out continuously during outpatient treatment at dr. Sardjito General Hospital. Data for breast cancer patients was taken from July 2018 to June 2020. The data obtained were grouped into four categories: laboratory investigation, socio-demographic, clinical examination, and pathology. Descriptive and correlation analysis aims to determine the characteristics of breast cancer patients seeking treatment at dr. Sardjito General Hospital and anticipate their possibility of developing neutropenia after chemotherapy. The results of the descriptive analysis are significant to determine patient characteristics and treatment steps that can be taken. Correlation analysis variables closely related to neutrophils included leucocyte count, lymphocyte, monocyte, albumin, age at first diagnosis, and height. These variables can be a severe concern of medical personnel before undergoing chemotherapy, especially lymphocytes, which have the largest (negative) correlation and can be an early sign of neutropenia. Characteristics of the population in various regions in Indonesia are different from one another. Statistical data analysis needs to be done in each area for better diagnosis and treatment of cancer. The results of the descriptive analysis are essential to determine patient statistics and the treatment steps taken. The strong correlation with neutrophils are leukocytes, lymphocytes, monocytes, albumin, age, and height.

Abstract
Simple Summary The incidence of young people <50 years old who are diagnosed with colorectal cancer (CRC), termed as early onset colorectal cancer (EOCRC), accounted for nearly 30% of the total CRC patients in Indonesia, which is about three times higher than what is being reported in Europe, the UK and USA. Lynch syndrome (LS) is a hereditary type of CRC that is associated with a younger age of onset. Detecting LS has been long reported to be a cost-effective strategy to provide aid in the diagnosis or management of the individual or at-risk family members. The aim of this retrospective study was to screen for Lynch Syndrome in Indonesian CRC patients using simple and robust polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based molecular testing, known as N_LyST (Nottingham Lynch Syndrome Test). To our knowledge, we are the first to study and observe a potentially higher frequency of LS (13.85%) among CRC patients in Indonesia (n = 231). This may partially contribute to the reported much higher rate of EOCRC found in the country. Abstract There is about three times higher incidence of young patients <50 years old with colorectal cancer, termed EOCRC, in Indonesia as compared to Europe, the UK and USA. The aim of this study was to investigate the frequency of Lynch Syndrome (LS) in Indonesian CRC patients. The previously described Nottingham Lynch Syndrome Test (N_LyST) was used in this project. N_LyST is a robust high-resolution melting (HRM)-based test that has shown 100% concordance with standard reference methods, including capillary electrophoresis and Sanger sequencing. The test consisted of five mononucleotide microsatellite markers (BAT25, BAT26, BCAT25, MYB, EWSR1), BRAF V600E mutation and MLH1 region C promoter for methylation (using bisulphite-modified DNA). A total of 231 archival (2016–2019) formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tumour tissues from CRC patients collected from Dr. Sardjito General Hospital Yogyakarta, Indonesia, were successfully tested and analysed. Among those, 44/231 (19.05%) were MSI, 25/231 (10.82%) were harbouring BRAF V600E mutation and 6/231 (2.60%) had MLH1 promoter methylation. Almost all—186/197 (99.45%)—MSS cases were MLH1 promoter unmethylated, while there were only 5/44 (11.36%) MSI cases with MLH1 promoter methylation. Similarly, only 9/44 (20.45%) of MSI cases were BRAF mutant. There were 50/231 (21.65%) EOCRC cases, with 15/50 (30%) regarded as MSI, as opposed to 29/181 (16.02%) within the older group. In total, 32/231 patients (13.85%) were classified as “Probable Lynch” (MSI, BRAF wildtype and MLH1 promoter unmethylated), which were enriched in EOCRC as compared to older patients (24% vs. 11.05%, p = 0.035). Nonetheless, 30/50 (76.00%) cases among the EOCRC cases were non-LS (sporadic) and were significantly associated with a left-sided tumour. The overall survival of both “Probable Lynch” and non-LS (sporadic) groups (n = 227) was comparable (p = 0.59), with follow up period of 0–1845 days/61.5 months. Stage, node status, histological grading and ECOG score were significantly associated with patient overall survival (p < 0.005), yet only ECOG was an independent factor for OS (HR: 4.38; 95% CI: 1.72–11.2; p = 0.002). In summary, this study is the first to reveal a potentially higher frequency of LS among CRC patients in Indonesia, which may partially contribute to the reported much higher number of EOCRC as compared to the incidence in the West.

Abstract
Purpose This study aimed to determine the survival outcome and prognostic factors of patients with nasopharyngeal cancer accessing treatment in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Methods Data on 759 patients with NPC diagnosed from 2007 to 2016 at Dr Sardjito General Hospital were included. Potential prognostic variables included sociodemographic, clinicopathology and treatment parameters. Multivariable analyses were implemented using semi-parametric Cox proportional hazards modelling and fully parametric survival analysis. Results The median time of observation was 14.39 months. In the whole cohort the median observed survival was 31.08 months. In the univariable analysis, age, education status, insurance type, BMI, ECOG index, stage and treatment strategy had an impact on overall survival (OS) (p values <0.01). Semi-parametric multivariable analyses with stage stratification showed that education status, ECOG index, and treatment modality were independent prognostic factors for OS (p values <0.05). In the fully parametric models age, education status, ECOG index, stage, and treatment modality were independent prognostic factors for OS (p values <0.05). For both multivariable analyses, all treatment strategies were associated with a reduced hazard (semi-parametric models, p values <0.05) and a better OS (parametric models, p values <0.05) compared with no treatment. Furthermore, compared with radiation alone or chemotherapy alone, a combination of chemotherapy and radiation either in a form of concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT), sequential chemotherapy and radiation, or induction chemotherapy followed by CCRT demonstrated a reduced hazard (hazard ratio/HR 0.226, 95% confidence interval/CI 0.089–0.363, and HR 0.390, 95%CI 0.260–0.519) and a better OS (time ratio/TR 3.108, 95%CI 1.274–4.942 and TR 2.531, 95%CI 1.829–3.233) (p values < 0.01). Conclusions Median OS for the cohort was low compared to those reported in both endemic and non-endemic regions. By combining the findings of multivariable analyses, we showed that age, education status, ECOG index, stage and first treatment modality were independent predictors for the OS.

Abstract
Background: The aim of this study was analyzing the BCR-ABL transcript types of patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) in Dr Sardjito General Hospital, Yogyakarta, Indonesia. This study is very relevant because the data concerning BCR-ABL gene transcript types is very limited in Indonesia. Furthermore, it is important for patient’s management, particularly in defining the tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) therapy and monitoring after therapy. The introduction of TKIs has become a major advance in the management of patients with CML, especially in the chronic phase (CML-CP), in which most patients are diagnosed. Methods: One hundred eighty five (185) of 370 recruited patients were included in this study (2010–2014). RNA samples were isolated from mononuclear cells of peripheral blood of the subjects taken at primary diagnosis. Detection of BCR-ABL gene transcript types was done using multiplex reverse transcriptase PCR (multiplex RT-PCR) and/or nested PCR following the cDNA synthesis. When the first PCR set failed to amplify the BCR-ABL gene, RT-conventional PCR and/or nested PCR would be applied. The proportion of each transcript type was calculated among the BCR-ABL positive CML patients. Results: Approximately 99% (183/185) of CML patients are BCR-ABL positive, with the most common type is major b3a2 (136/183; 74.3%), followed by major b2a2 (41/183; 22.4%). Two samples (1.1%) showed co-expression of b3a2 and b2a2; 1 sample showed co-expression of b3a2 and fragment at 500bp; and 3 samples showed uncommon fragments. Conclusion: Ninety nine percent (99%) of CML patients in Yogyakarta, Indonesia are BCR-ABL positive, with 74.3% have b3a2 transcript, 22.4% have b2a2 trascript, 1.1% have co-expression of b3a2 and b2a2 transcript, and the rest (2.2%) have uncommon bands that still need to be confirmed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The Indonesian government has applied the cancer "see and treat" method which involves a visual inspection using acetic acid (VIA), followed by a cryotherapy procedure, to reduce the incidence of cervical cancer. However, compliance with the program is still low in the targeted population. This study aims to see what factors influence women to receive cryotherapy treatment if they have positive VIA result. METHODS This cross-sectional study was conducted among 356 VIA positive women, aged 30-50 years old, registered at Temanggung District Health Office, Central Java, Indonesia between March 29 and April 31, 2018. Data on whether subjects underwent cryotherapy, their demographic profile, education, knowledge about cryotherapy, and family support were collected in a direct interview using a structured questionnaire. A statistical analysis was carried out to observe the influence of all the variables on subjects' decisions on cryotherapy. RESULTS In our study, 217 women (60.69%) received cryotherapy, while 139 women (39.04%) did not. Among all the variables analyzed, the factors affecting the subjects' likelihood to undergo cryotherapy are their knowledge about cervical cancer and screening (PR=0.776;95%CI=0.660-0.913;p=0.003), their residences distance from health centre (PR=0.795;95%CI=0.650-0.971;p=0.016), permission from their family (PR=0.675;95%CI=0.556-0.820;p=0.018), and being accompanied by their family (PR=0.824;95%CI=0.700-0.970;p=0.026). Age, marital status, occupation, and education background did not show a significant correlation with the women's decisions to receive cryotherapy. CONCLUSIONS Interestingly, the result of our study indicates that women are less willing to undergo the cryotherapy procedure if they have good knowledge about the cryotherapy procedure and its importance in cervical cancer's prevention. Providing higher quality and more accessible health facilities with cryotherapy services are important in influencing women's willingness to receive cryotherapy. Family support, in the form of permission given by spouses, and if they accompanied the patient to seek cryotherapy care are observed as factors influencing women's willingness to have the procedure. .

Abstract
BACKGROUND Metastatic breast cancer with obstructive jaundice due to para-aortic lymph node enlargement is an unusual case that poses a therapeutic challenge in determining a chemotherapy regimen. CASE REPORT A 61-year-old woman presented with triple-negative left invasive ductal breast carcinoma with liver and pulmonary metastases. After receiving gemcitabine and carboplatin as the 4th-line treatment, chemotherapy was postponed due to an increased bilirubin level. Abdominal imaging revealed para-aortic lymph node metastases compressing the distal common hepatic duct. The patient then received capecitabine along with ursodeoxycholic acid. This relieved her jaundice after 8 cycles of chemotherapy, and radiologic evaluation revealed a complete resolution of the obstructive jaundice. CONCLUSION This finding emphasizes the success of capecitabine regimen as a salvage therapy in a metastatic breast cancer patient with hyperbilirubinemia and opens up the possibility of optimizing systemic chemotherapy for metastatic obstructive jaundice in the setting of limited facility resources.

Abstract
Background Oxaliplatin-based adjuvant chemotherapy has been applied as standard treatment for high risk stages II and III colon cancer in many countries. There was no comprehensive report of oxaliplatin use in Indonesia. This research aimed to evaluate the short-term survival of patients with colon cancer treated with such strategy and the prognostic factors. Methods Medical records of patients with colon cancer receiving oxaliplatin-containing adjuvant chemotherapy were retrospectively reviewed. Demography, clinicopathological, and treatment data were collected. Two-year overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) were calculated using Kaplan-Meier method and survival predictors were estimated using Cox proportional hazard models. Results Data of 81 patients had been included with a median follow-up of 25.2 months. The estimated OS and DFS at 2 years were 75.8% and 72.7%. In multivariate analyses, the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) 2 performance status [hazard ratio (HR) =2.967; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.265 to 6.957; P=0.012], T4 stage (HR =2.669; 95% CI, 1.087 to 6.557; P=0.032), and less cycles of chemotherapy administration (HR =3.280; 95% CI, 1.333 to 8.070; P=0.010) were significant independent factors for an increased risk of death. Cases with moderately to poorly differentiated tumors had significantly worse DFS compared with those with well differentiated tumors (HR =3.503; 95% CI, 1.403 to 8.744; P=0.007). Conclusions Colon cancer patients receiving oxaliplatin-based adjuvant regimens in our clinical practice had 2-year OS rate of 75.8% and 2-year DFS rate of 72.7%. ECOG 2 performance status, T4 stage, and less cycles of chemotherapy administration significantly predicted a poor OS and moderately to poorly histological grade significantly predicted a poor DFS.

Abstract
Background Vascular endothelial growth factor-A (VEGF-A) has been observed as the predominant angiogenic factor in colorectal cancer (CRC) and the assessment of microvessel density (MVD) has been used to quantify tumor neoangiogenesis. This study aimed to determine clinicopathological and prognostic significance of both angiogenic markers in the local CRC patients. Methods We analyzed tissue samples obtained from 81 cases with CRC. VEGF-A expression and MVD counts were immunohistochemically detected using anti VEGF-A and CD31. The assessments of both markers were classified as low and high. Correlation between VEGF-A expression and MVD value and clinicopathological characteristics were examined using Chi-square test. The overall survival (OS) was plotted using the Kaplan-Meier method. Results High VEGF-A expression was found more frequently in the rectal location (P=0.042) and T4 tumors (P=0.041) compared to their counterparts. Older patients tended to show a higher MVD value compared to younger cases (P=0.062). In addition, survival analysis showed that males had a worse OS compared to females (P=0.029), and VEGF-A expression and MVD count did not correlate with patients' survival. Conclusions There were significant differences of VEGF-A expression according to tumor location and T invasion. Sex, but not angiogenic markers, had an influence on the survival of CRC patients.

Abstract
Introduction Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women in Indonesia. Patients' survival depends on various factors, namely patient-, tumor-, and treatment-related factors. Survival analysis on Indonesian patients has only been reported in a few studies. This study aimed to identify the factors that are associated with five-year overall survival (OS) among patients with breast cancer at a local tertiary hospital in Indonesia. Methods A retrospective cohort study was conducted at Dr Sardjito Hospital, Yogyakarta. Female patients diagnosed with breast cancer between January and December 2009 were studied. Socio-demographic and clinicopathological data were collected from the medical and pathological records. The five-year OS rate was assessed using Kaplan Meier method and prognostic factors were analyzed using Cox regression. Results A total of 213 eligible patients with breast cancer were recruited. The five-year OS probability of the breast cancer patient was 51.07%. The majority of the patients (151, 70.9%) presented an advanced stage at the time of diagnosis. In the bi-variable analysis, cases who were younger, of a lower educational status, at a more advanced stage, with a bigger tumor size, and a central tumor location showed a worse five-year OS compared to their counterparts (p = 0.005, 0.001, 0.004, 0.011 and 0.023, respectively). In the multivariable analysis, age was an independent predictor for the OS (HR = 3.73; 95% CI = 1.0-13.6, p = 0.046). Conclusion The five-year OS of breast cancer patients in the local tertiary hospital was 51.07%. The patients' age at diagnosis was the only significant prognostic factor for the patients' survival.

Abstract
Epstein-Barr (EBV) infection and presence of a nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC) case in the family increases the risk of developing NPC. Aberrant anti-EBV immunoglobulin A (IgA) antibodies (EBV-IgA) may be present in the sera of non-cancer individuals and predict NPC. Limited studies report the presence of EBV-IgA antibodies within non-cancer individuals in Indonesia where the disease is prevalent. This study aimed at exploring whether EBV-IgA was found more frequently among first degree relatives of NPC patients and individuals presenting with chronic symptoms in the head and neck area compared to healthy controls. A total of 967 non-cancer subjects were recruited, including 509 family members of NPC cases, 196 individuals having chronic complaints in the head and neck region, and 262 healthy donors of the local blood bank. Sera were analyzed using a standardized peptide-based EBV-IgA ELISA. Overall, 61.6% of all individuals had anti-EBV IgA reactivity equal to or below cut off value (CoV). Seroreactivity above CoV was significantly higher in females (38.7%) compared to males (28.7%) (p = 0.001). Older individuals had more seroreactivity above CoV (42.5%) than the younger ones (26.4%) (p< 0.001). Seroprevalence was significantly higher in family members of NPC patients (41.7%), compared to 32.7% of individuals with chronic head and neck problems (p = 0.028) and 16.4% healthy blood donors (p< 0.001). As conclusion, this study showed a significant higher seroprevalence in healthy family members of NPC cases and subjects presenting with chronic symptoms in the head and neck area compared to healthy individuals from the general community. This finding indicates that both groups have elevated risk of developing NPC and may serve as targets for a regional NPC screening program.

Abstract
Background: Polymorphic bases in several exons of the BCR gene have been found in several studies of the
BCR-ABL fusion gene . Most of the polymorphisms do not have any implications for the primary structure of the
BCR-ABL protein. Nucleotide changes are often located in the area close to the fusion region, and therefore may
influence primer annealing. Our previous work failed to amplify 15 of 200 samples from BCR-ABL positive chronic
myelogenous leukemia (CML) patients using multiplex PCR, the standard method to detect BCR-ABL transcripts
used in our institution. The failure was considered due to problems in primer annealing caused by sequence variations.
Sequence analysis of BCR-ABL fusion gene breakpoint types in CML patients has never been hitherto performed in
Indonesia. Therefore, the aim of this study was to perform sequence analysis of several samples that did not show
amplification using the standard method. Methods: Fifteen samples were qualitatively amplified by two-step PCR using
inner primers in the 2nd PCR to determine the breakpoint type of the BCR-ABL fusion gene. The 2nd PCR products were
used as templates to perform sequence analysis, and the results were compared to those in genbank. Result: Seven
and 5 of 15 samples were confirmed as major b3a2 and major b2a2, respectively. One sample featured a combination
of b3a2 and b2a2, and 2 samples a combination of b3a2 and b2a2 with an additional fragment at 500bp. Sequence
analysis showed 3 sequence variations in the major b3a2 breakpoint. One had been reported earlier (c.3296T>C) but
the others (c.3245C>T and c.3359T>C) were novel. Fragments at 500bp were confirmed as b3a2 and similar sequence
b3a2 in genbank. Conclusion: This study found two new genetic variations in the BCR gene in BCR-ABL fusion cases.

Abstract
Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is highly endemic in certain regions including the People’s Republic of China and Southeast Asia. Its etiology is unique and multifactorial, involving genetic background, epigenetic, and environment factors, including Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) infection. The presence of EBV in all tumor cells, aberrant pattern of antibodies against EBV antigens in patient sera, and elevated viral DNA in patient circulation as well as nasopharyngeal site underline the role of EBV during NPC development. In NPC tumors, EBV expresses latency type II, where three EBV-encoded proteins, Epstein–Barr nuclear antigen 1, latent membrane protein 1 and 2 (LMP1, 2), are expressed along with BamH1-A rightward reading frame 1, Epstein–Barr virus-encoded small nuclear RNAs, and BamH1-A rightward transcripts. Among all encoded proteins, LMP1 plays a central role in the propagation of NPC. Standard treatment of NPC consists of radiotherapy with or without chemotherapy for early stage, concurrent chemoradiotherapy in locally advanced tumors, and palliative systemic chemotherapy in metastatic disease. However, this standard care has limitations, allowing recurrences and disease progression in a certain proportion of cases. Although the pathophysiological link and molecular process of EBV-induced oncogenesis are not fully understood, therapeutic approaches targeting the virus may increase the cure rate and add clinical benefit. The promising results of early phase clinical trials on EBV-specific immunotherapy, epigenetic therapy, and treatment with viral lytic induction offer new options for treating NPC.

Abstract
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection and family history are significant risk factors associated with undifferentiated nasopharyngeal carcinoma. The presence of aberrant immunoglobulin A (IgA) antibodies against specific EBV antigens in healthy individuals can be predictive of the disease. Very limited reports explored the EBV IgA antibody presence within families of sporadic cases of nasopharyngeal carcinoma. This study aimed to determine whether EBV IgA was observed more frequently among family members of sporadic cases of nasopharyngeal carcinoma compared to community controls and evaluated the non-viral factors as determinants of antibody level. First-degree relatives of nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients (n = 520) and case-matched community controls (n = 86) were recruited. Sera from all individuals were tested in standardized peptide-based EBV IgA ELISA. Data on demographic variables and other exogenous factors were collected using a questionnaire through face-to-face interviews. A similar frequency of EBV IgA (cut-off value/CoV 0.354) was observed in the first-degree relatives of cases and in community controls (41.2% vs. 39.5%, P = 0.770). However, with a higher antibody level (OD(450) = 1.000; about three times standard CoV), the relatives showed significantly higher frequency (36.9% vs. 14.7%, P = 0.011). When adjusted for all exogenous factors, the strongest factors associated with seropositivity are being a father (odds ratio/OR = 4.36; 95% confidence interval/CI = 1.56-12.21) or a sibling (OR = 1.89; 95% CI = 1.06-3.38) of a case of nasopharyngeal carcinoma. The higher level of EBV IgA seroreactivity in first-degree relatives of sporadic cases of nasopharyngeal carcinoma compared to the general population supports the use of EBV IgA ELISA for screening among family members.

Abstract
AIM To determine association of fibrinogen and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) in type 2 diabetes patients. METHODS This is a cross-sectional study with 52 type 2 diabetes patients of 41-74 years old. The subjects were divided into two groups, those who were diagnosed with PAD (16) and without PAD (36). Diagnosis of PAD was based on the ankle brachial index (ABI) measurement. Fibrinogen and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) level were evaluated as hemostatic factors. The two groups were compared for age, sex, smoking, plasma fasting glucose, total cholesterol, low density lipoprotein (LDL), high density lipoprotein (HDL), triglyceride concentrations, diabetes duration, systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure level. Statistical analyse were conducted to check the significance of differences between variables in the two groups as well as interrelationship between hemostatic factors and other parameters. RESULTS Fibrinogen was similar in both group (402.42 +/- 74.44 mg/dl in PAD group and 322.45 +/- 101.05 mg/dl in non-PAD group) (p= 0.259). PAI-1 was also similar in both group (8.93 +/- 11.02 IU/ml in PAD group and 7.06 +/- 7.32 IU/ml in non-PAD group) (p=0.721). Hyperfibrinogenemia was more prevalent in PAD group (68.8%) than in non-PAD group (25%) (p= 0.005). CONCLUSION Our data showed that fibrinogen and PAI-1 level were similar in both groups. As a risk factor hyperfibrinogenemia was more prevalent in PAD group.

Abstract
AIM To determine EBNA-1 expression in the tissue of patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma and its relationship to bcl-2 expression. METHODS Paraffin-embedded tissue from 24 cases of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma were stained immunohisto chemically with monoclonal antibody anti-EBNA-1 and anti-bcl-2 using Streptavidin Biotin Complex method. The bcl-2 expression was measured as negative (no staining), positive 1 (weak staining), and positive 2 (moderate to strong staining). The relationship between the immunohisto chemistry results was examined. RESULTS From the 24 samples, 12 (50%) were EBNA-1 positive and 14 (58.3%) showed expression of bcl-2. Eleven of the 14 samples (90%) showed expression of bcl-2 were EBNA-1 positive, while only 3 of these samples (10%) were EBNA-1 negative. The relationship between bcl-2 expression and EBNA-1 was statistically significant (Chi square-uncorrected 11.2571, p= 0.0036). CONCLUSION Our results showed that 50% of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma were EBNA-1 positive. Furthermore, EBNA-1 seemed to be correlated with bcl-2 expression.
