SURABAYA – Regional General Hospital (Hospital) Dr Soetomo Surabaya sent nine doctors and two nurses to China to study methods of liver transplantation at Tianjin Hospital, China.

One of the considerations sending medical workers is due to the number of liver cancer patients in East Java, is relatively high. Director General Hospital (RSU) Dr Soetomo, Slamet Riyadi Yuwono, said the technology needs a liver transplant as a liver cancer treatment efforts are needed.

According to Slamet, the problem of liver cancer patients often get the stigma of a death sentence because of the difficulty in handling this disease. With this training a liver transplant, expected life expectancy of liver cancer patients is increasing.

“In East Java recorded the 800 children with liver cancer. Meanwhile, although not yet recorded, for adult patients expected higher numbers for more factors, like smoking, drinking alcohol, and drinking coffee to excess, “he said in Surabaya on Tuesday (23/2/2010).

Therefore, to overcome this problem, nine doctors and two nurses would be sent to the Hospital of Tianjin, China to learn about liver transplant from February 16 until February 23, 2010. They will be guided through a liver transplant experts, namely Professor Shen Zhongyang.

Furthermore, the arrival in Indonesia, they direct these methods in practice a liver transplant operation at Hospital Dr Soetomo in liver cancer patients from Trenggalek, East Java Ramdhan Aldil Saputra (3). The operation will be chaired by Professor Shen Zhongyang directly. “Hopefully, the operation not only for one patient only. Since the arrival of a liver transplant expert from China is not every time,” said Slamet.

To support the liver transplant technology, Dr Soetomo Hospital funding request to the Provincial Government of East Java Rp1, 291 billion for the purchase of medical equipment. RSU Dr Soetomo has set aside Rp3 billion, whereas the need for the purchase of medical equipment Rp4, 291 billion.

IF early detection of cancer is generally done through a single tumor marker tests, the latest draft offers 12 tumor markers in a single examination, aka 12 in 1.

Who was horrified to hear the word cancer. The cause of death of the 2nd largest in the world and the 7th in Indonesia continues to be a frightening specter. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) in the World Cancer Report 2009 estimates that by 2010 cancer will become the main cause of death worldwide.

The good news, technological advances allow people to do early detection of various types of tumors or cancer. However, prevention is better than cure, right? This principle also holds the medical world today who are more directed at disease prevention rather than treatment that swallowed a lot of costs and make the patient lara.

As a consequence, the examination of blood samples in clinical laboratories not only apply to the sick, healthy people were encouraged to do blood tests as the “alert” and the possibility of early detection for a particular disease. This is important, especially cancer, which until now the cause is not known with certainty and often appear without any symptoms.

Allegedly derived from cancer cells in our body caused by something that then grow abnormally (very fast and uncontrolled). This mengganas cells can infiltrate and suppress the body’s tissues that affect normal organ function.

Responsible for the pathology laboratory Dharmais Cancer Hospital (RSKD) Jakarta Dr. Kosasih SpPK Agus said, the diagnosis of cancer somewhat complicated and can not be determined with only one examination only.

“For someone who is ‘suspected’ of cancer, the diagnosis is established through a series of doctors and supporting anatomic pathology tests. However, for those who are healthy, that’s fine alias screening early detection of cancer in clinical laboratories,” said Agus in meeting the media in the laboratory Clinic Prodia Kramat Raya, Central Jakarta, Tuesday (17/11).

Until now no less 100 kinds of cancer have been found, with 14 types of cancer experienced posters. Include breast cancer, uterus, ovary, prostate, liver, lung, stomach, esophagus, colorectal (large intestine and rectum), pancreas, testes, bladder, thyroid, and endometrium. Although not all types of cancer can be prevented, the mortality rate can be reduced through early detection and proper treatment.

In the realm of early detection of cancer, breast cancer early examination (ultrasound or mammography) and cervical (papsmear) later popular in Indonesia, given the onslaught of information and publication of the second largest type of cancer affecting the Heroine Indonesia.

Imaging techniques (imaging) is a means of early detection is commonly used. Unfortunately, this technique has the disadvantage of expensive, less suitable for large-scale population screening, and required a certain tumor size to be detected.

Therefore, examination of tumor markers (tumor markers) be another option for screening because it is non-invasive and easy to do. Tumor markers are substances released by tumor cells or other body part as a response to the growth of tumor cells. For the record, a cancer may be originated from the mengganas tumor cells.

Through the examination of cells or bodily fluids (eg blood or urine), tumor markers can detect the size and nature of cancer, such as cancer aggressiveness and response to therapy. Agus confirmed, the main function of tumor marker tests is to monitor, not a diagnosis.

On the positive patients had cancer and was in therapy, it is recommended tumor marker checks at 3 months to monitor the effectiveness of therapy. “For healthy people, once a year will suffice,” he said.

Since discovered in 1846, tumor markers have been developed. In general, people usually do a conventional tumor markers, whether they are single (single marker) or panels (multiple markers).

“The combination of tumor markers or tumor panel markerbertujuan improve detection sensitivity that can be used for screening. However, false positives (specificity) decreases and the cost is relatively expensive,” said Marketing Communications Manager Prodia, Ampi Retnowardani.

Technological developments in proteomic and protein chip (microarray) and then bring forth the Biomarker C-12 Protein Chip, which is a parallel analysis of 12 types of different tumor markers in 1 (one) examination. New concept of cancer screening is already present in Indonesia, precisely in Prodia clinical laboratories since the beginning of this November 2009.

“In this case we are working with the HSC Medical Center Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, in providing reagents and tests to determine the outcome,” said Ampi.

Biomarker C-12 Protein Chip is a new concept of cancer screening to detect several types of tumor markers with only one examination. With chemilumiscence detection method, this investigation in parallel can analyze 12 tumor markers, namely CA19-9, NSE, CEA, CA242, ferritin, hCG, AFP, f-PSA, PSA, CA-125, HGH, CA15-3.

Compared to previous examinations, Biomarker C-12 Protein Chip has a number of advantages. Among higher accuracy and more efficient in terms of time and cost (due in one examination results obtained 12 tumor markers as well). In addition, blood samples required a 2 cc. In fact, if using a single examination for 12 kinds of tumor markers is usually required approximately 10 cc of blood.

“If you do a single for 12 kinds of tumor markers, will cost about Rp3juta-Rp4juta. With the Biomarker C-12ProteinChip, the cost could be reduced to Rp1, 5 million. We also provide 20 percent discount until the end of this month,” beber Ampi.

Technology is so easy man, and the Biomarker C-12 Protein Chip as a breakthrough worth trying, especially for monitoring cancer therapy. For those of you a healthy and after inspection Biomarker C-12 Protein Chip negative results revealed a tumor, so-so berlega heart, but must remain vigilant.

Conversely, if the result is positive, do not trigger a broken charcoal. Consult your doctor for further investigation

LIFE modern current traveled has made someone spoiled. The problem with the development of technology, transportation, and food intake is consumed to make someone have to pay dearly for his health. In fact, many dangerous diseases have been threatened and had to be detected early.

One of these diseases is cancer, colorectal. That attack cancer at the young age caused by gene mutations that have occurred at birth. Genes are constantly exposed to the carcinogens in food, turned out to be the biggest trigger of colorectal cancers.

Cancer is a disease of cell growth and malignancy can be about anything organs. Can attack the colon, rectum, or both. Colon cancer (colon) and the area between the large intestine and anus (rectum) has much in common, and often jointly called colorectal cancers.

Large intestine and rectum are part of the digestive system that processes food waste diasup and leftovers from the body. Colorectal cancer is cancer that grows in the large intestine (colon) or rectum.

Colorectal cancer, other cancers as the nature of properties can be grown relatively quickly, or roots can infiltrate (infiltrate) into the surrounding tissue and damage it, it can spread far through the lymph nodes and blood vessels to organs distant from the origin grows like liver, lung lungs, which can eventually cause death if not handled properly.

However, do not need to fear a spread of colorectal cancer at an early age. By finding cancer at an early stage, or better known as the early detection, the cancer will be dealt with more quickly.

“Cancer stage 1, there are still 85 to 95 percent of patients survive 5 years. Whereas when it is at stage 4, only 5 percent of patients who survive,” said Dr. Aru Wisaksono DR SpPD Sudono KHOM, leading cancer experts in Indonesia in the event media workshop “Colorectal Cancer” conducted by the Cancer Foundation of Indonesia in Jakarta, some time ago.

Life in big cities that many people find it difficult to adjust a healthy lifestyle, also became the cause of colorectal cancers. Often eat fast food that does not contain fiber, less vegetables and fruits, like eating red meat, obesity, lack of exercise, and smoking habits of other triggers that make it more contagious kanke young age.

“We were killed by the foods we eat alone,” said Dr. Aru.

So, what tests to detect colorectal cancer? The doctor who served as Chairman of Medicine Association of Indonesia translate this part.

1. Vague blood test checks the stool (fecal Occult Blood Test / FOBT)

This simple examination is the initial screening test of colorectal cancer, conducted by taking faecal samples placed on a special card that will change color if the stool contains blood.

2. Flexible sigmoidoscopy

Pipe or a small and thin tubes with cameras inserted into the rectum so the doctor can see through the screen into the rectum and into the first part of the large intestine where half of the polyps are common. This examination is conducted every five years.

3. Colonoscopy

Is the most accurate test. Pipe or a long elastic tube and inserted into the rectum small so that the doctor can see the entire large intestine, taking polyps and took tissue samples to do a biopsy. Decision polyps will prevent cancer developing. Usually the doctor will provide mild anesthesia before. Inspection is done periodically, ie every 10 years.

“As to other tests, can be through the rectum conspicuous. Typically, doctors have known if the patient has a problem, by inserting a finger into the rectum of patients,” explained Dr. Aru.

Apart from the ways above, Dr. Aru also recommend other tests to diagnose colorectal cancers. Namely through Double Contrast Barium enema. Where a small tube inserted into the rectum so that the liquid barium (white as chalk) can enter into the large intestine.

Special X-rays will then be transmitted to the tumor which appears as dark shadows. Barium easier to see the tumor. Before the test done, you will be asked to fast for several hours.

In addition, ultrasound test uses sound waves to take pictures inside the body. Abnormal pattern of the image can indicate a tumor and Virtual Colonoscopy / CT Colonography, a test that makes three-dimensional reconstruction of the large intestine to detect any abnormalities.

Picture taken in a few seconds after the colon with carbon dioxide developed inserted through a small tube. While virtual colonoscopy is a new technique that is still not clear accuracyEarly Detection of Colorectal Cancer Symptoms

CANCER of the cervix or cervix a scourge for women. Various risk factors have been much revealed why a woman could be convicted of cancer. One thing new, age virginitas loss turns out to be the cause.

At the end of last year, British researchers have just released a stunning new discoveries related to age of women first had sex at the risk of deadly diseases, namely cancer.

Study reported by the BBC presented a new study of cervical cancer, a disease associated with sexually transmitted diseases (human papillomavirus / HPV) in women. As reported, a study conducted on 20 thousand women who later confirmed that having sex at an early age can double the risk of the perpetrator of the future development of cervical cancer in later life.

Investigate a investigate, the researchers claim that poor women tend to have higher risk of cervical cancer, compared with more affluent women.

Actually, it was not for sexually transmitted diseases to be discriminatory. However, the researchers said, women who live in developing countries (and poor areas of developing countries where the number of high school graduates or high school is low, for example), often have little information about safe sex. They tend to make the decision to perform unsafe sex or have sex earlier than women who live in more affluent areas.

The study was conducted by the International Agency for Research on Cancer and has been published in the Journal of Cancer it gives a picture that the HPV vaccine will now more necessary than ever.

SEOUL – contained caffeine content in coffee and green tea are believed to slow the growth of cancerous brain tumors effectively. Thus the results of research from scientists from the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST), South Korea.

Research led by Lee Chang-Joon and conducted in animals indicate that regular caffeine can suppress the growth of inositol trisphosphate receptor (IP3R) are strongly associated with glioblastoma multiforme, the type of brain tumor the most common and most aggressive found in humans.

Lee said his team represents, calcium has an important in spreading the tumor cells in human glioblastoma multiforme, and IP3R directly contribute to the amount of calcium released.

Lee also added that he and his team found a sub-type of IP3R, IP3R3 is very active in brain cancer patients. Caffeine is proven to prevent the spread of these compounds, so that the growth of brain tumors and inhibit cancer cells not to any other body begain.

“This is the first discovery that indicates caffeine has the effect of inhibiting the growth of glioblastoma multiforme. We hope these findings will have a major impact,” said Lee was quoted as saying by Xinhua, Tuesday (2/2/2010).

The amount of caffeine in the animal ranging from two to five cups of coffee or green tea commonly consumed by the average human per day.

Lee says, is very difficult glioblastoma multiforme. Because the tumor cells are resistant to conventional drug therapy anti-cancer drugs. Generally, many patients die within one year.
