ABSTRACT: THE INCIDENCE OF BREAST CANCER IN LAMPUNG INDONESIA: A RETROSPECTIVE COHORT ANALYSISBackground: Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the world, the highest type of cancer in women in the world is breast cancer with an incidence of 38 per 100,000 women. In Indonesia by 2012 the incidence of breast cancer in Indonesia is 40 per 100,000 women. The incidence of breast cancer in the city of Bandar Lampung is 80 per 100,000 population.Purpose : Knowing risk factors incidence of breast cancer in the Foundation of Cancer Indonesia in Bandar Lampung 2017.Methods: The quantitative and observational research with case control design. The population of this study were all patients who had done counseling and examination by Cancer counseling institute of Indonesia during the period of research as much as 691 respondent, with the required number of samples 126 rspondent. Bivariate analysis was done with chi square (X2), while multivariate analysis using multiple linear logistic regression .Results: The risk factors such as menarche (p-value = 0.002), parity (p-value = 0,018), breastfeeding (p-value = 0,000) and duration of contraceptive use (p-value = 0, 02), while factors unrelated to breast cancer were family history (p-value = 0.112) and age (value = 0.357).Conclusion: The most influential variable on the incidence of breast cancer is the variable duration of contraceptive use. For health workers need to do counseling about breast cancer risk factors. Women of childbearing age should use non-hormonal family planning, when using a type of hormonal contraception need to be consult with local health workers and avoid births that are too frequent.Keywords: Factor Analysis, Breast Cancer, Breast Cancer History, Age of Menarche, Age, Parity, Breastfeeding Status, Hormonal Contraception.Pendahuluan : Kanker adalah penyebab kematian nomor dua di dunia, jenis kanker tertinggi pada wanita di dunia adalah kanker payudara dengan insidensi 38 per 100.000 wanita. Di Indonesia pada tahun 2012, insiden kanker payudara di Indonesia adalah 40 per 100.000 wanita. Angka kejadian kanker payudara di kota Bandar Lampung adalah 80 per 100.000 penduduk.Tujuan: Diketahui faktor-faktor risiko kejadian kanker payudara di Yayasan Kanker Indonesia di Bandar Lampung 2017.Metode: Jenis penelitian yang akan digunakan peneliti adalah kuantitatif.

Background: Breast cancer (BC) is the most common disease in women around the world. The risk factors associated to BC have been widely discussed in the literature, however, the possible effect of alcohol consumption remains unclear and requires further clarification and in-depth understanding. In this mini-review, we discusse numerous prospective studies conducted from 1989 to 2018 to monitor the emergence of BC, and to clarify the association between alcohol consumption and BC risk. Results: Alcohol consumption is positively associated with the risk of BC compared to non-drinkers. The findings showed that this positive association could be influenced by several factors, including age, premenopausal and postmenopausal status, social factors ,duration and intensity of alcohol use and family history. Conclusion: There is a positive effect of alcohol consumption BC risk at all levels of consumption.

Breast Cancer Knowledge

Breast cancer (BC) is considered as one of the most common cancers among women and almost 2.1 million women are diagnosed with it each year around the world. The high mortality rate by breast cancer is mainly because of the late diagnosis of breast cancer which is because of the lack of awareness and knowledge about breast cancer itself and its screening methods among women. The gradually increasing mortality rate can be decreased by early detection of breast cancer. A validated questionnaire was adopted from a similar study that was done in Shah Alam, Selangor. The questionnaire consists of three sections namely sociodemographic status, knowledge about breast cancer and awareness of mammography. Most of the respondents (84.1%) stated that breast cancer is the most common cancer in Malaysia. In terms of risk factors, the majority (96.2%) of the respondents stated that genetic and family history is a risk of breast cancer while only 3.8% of them did not. 15 respondents received knowledge scores of which are less than 8 (very poor), 46 respondents have obtained scores from 8 to 11 (poor), 56 respondents have obtained scores from 12 to 16 (moderate) and 15 respondents have obtained scores from 17 to 20 (good). None of the respondents obtained scores of more than 20 (very good). This study shows that the respondents have very poor to moderate level of breast cancer knowledge. Mammography awareness was acceptable among the respondents as more than half of them knew about it.

Incident Rate

Breast cancer is the most prevalent cancer among women in the world. The age-standardised incident rate for breast cancer is of 39 per 100,000, which is twice that of cancer in the second position. In India, also breast cancer is becoming an increasing health problem. The study is aimed to assess the knowledge and awareness of risk factors associated with breast cancer. A questionnaire composed of 15 questions were circulated through an online platform google forms. The results were collected and data were analyzed using SPSS software. The awareness of breast cancer among working women comprising 75% aware and 25% not aware. The awareness about risk factors of breast cancer comprising 80% aware and 20% not aware. The percentage of the risk factor of breast cancer comprising 28% family history of breast cancer, 22% of advanced age, 9% obesity and 41% choose all the above. The overall awareness of all subgroups was fair reporting correct answers. The awareness among working women was moderate and more awareness should be created. This study concludes that awareness and measures have been taken towards risk factors of breast cancer.

Common Malignancy

Background: Breast cancer (BC) is known as the most common malignancy in women. Environmental and genetic factors are associated with BC progression. Genetic polymorphisms have been reported as important risk factors of BC prognosis and drug response. Main body: Therefore, in the present review, we have summarized all single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) which have been significantly associated with drug response in BC patients around the world. We have also categorized the reported SNPs based on their related genes functions to clarify the molecular biology of drug responses in BC. Conclusion: The majority of SNPs were reported in detoxifying enzymes, which introduced such genes as the main genetic risk factors during BC drug responses. This review paves the way for introducing a prognostic panel of SNPs for the BC patients in the world.
