			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a rel="lightbox" href="http://www.sukmamerati.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/blue-hills.jpg" title="blue hills"></a><a rel="lightbox" href="http://www.sukmamerati.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/sunset.jpg" title="sunset"><img src="http://www.sukmamerati.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/sunset.thumbnail.jpg" alt="sunset" /></a>Dalam tiga minggu terakhir saya melakukan FNAB, saya terkesan hanya pada dua kasus dan  mendapatkan hasil pembacaan biopsi dibawah mikroskop sebagai kanker darah yang paling ditakuti : Leukemia dan Non Hodgkin Limfoma.</p>
<p>Pasien pertama adalah seorang bapak berusia 69 tahun yang datang dengan muka sangat pucat , tampak sangat lemah dan nafas tersengal-sengal menaiki tangga ke lantai dua laboratorium saya dibantu oleh istrinya. Pasien datang kiriman seorang dokter penyakit dalam disebuah RS. di Pekanbaru. Dikirim dengan pembesaran kelenjar getah bening pada kedua inguinal yaitu selangkangan kanan dan kiri. Diameter kelenjar getah bening antara 1,5-2 cm, yang terfixir dan agak nyeri baik spontan maupun bila benjolan ditekan.</p>
<p>Dokter internist belum memeriksa darah tepi bapak itu. Perkiraan saya Hbnya paling tinggi 6 gram/dl pada saat saya melihat bagian dalam kelopak mata bawah bapak itu. Dia begitu lemah dan pada saat berbicara tangannya gemetar. Pasien mengeluh badannya hangat-hangat sejak 3 bulan lewat, kemudian berlanjut dengan timbulnya benjolan pada kedua selangkangannya yang dirasakan berdenyut hilang-timbul. Pasien adalah pensiunan guru SD.</p>
<p>Dua hari setelah FNAB, saya menerima telpon dari dokter internist yang menyampaikan bahwa lekosit bapak itu 31.000/dl dengan dominasi sel limfoid dan Hb 6,4 gram/dl serta dijumpai cukup banyak sel limfoblast pada darah tepinya. Jadi sesuai dengan temuan saya pada saat FNAB, bapak tadi sangat dicurigai menderita CLL (Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia). Sudah tentu diagnosis baru dapat ditegakkan setelah dilakukan pemeriksaan bone marrow puncture (BMP) alias pemeriksaan sumsum tulang. Dan dapat dilihat dari buku teks bahwa  penyebab leukemia pada bapak ini adalah virus (HTLV-1) human T-lymphocyte virus strain-1.</p>
<p>Untuk pertama kali saya  tahu dan mendengar langsung dari seorang pasien wanita yang baru sembuh dari leukemia (CLL) yang dideritanya. Ibu itu tidak tampak sakit berat, dari sudut pandang saya kelihatan sangat sehat dengan wajah dan sorot  mata yang memancar sehat. Katanya berobat di Singapore Mount Elizabeth Hospital dan Melaka. Diberi terapi Leukeran tablet produksi GlaxoSmithKline  yang isinya Chlorambucil sebagai cytotoxic agent. Ini berita menggembirakan bagi para penderita Leukemia jenis CLL. I want to share this good news with others, so  go on reading this post&#8230; </p>
<p>Tablet diminum 3 tablet dipagi hari dan 2 tablet pada sore hari. Setelah minum selama 5 hari berturut-turut dan istirahat 25 hari, maka satu bulan setelah minum obat pertama dilakukan check ulang darah tepi. Hasilnya amat sangat menggembirakan, karena dapat menurunkan sel-sel kanker dalam jumlah yang sangat signifikan. Selanjutnya ibu itu tidak pernah merasakan rambut rontok sebagaimana biasanya pada mereka yang mendapat obat keras (khemoterapi).</p>
<p>Pasien kedua seorang wanita berusia 29 tahun yang merasakan benjolan sejak 2 (dua) bulan dileher kanan dan kiri. Pembesaran KGB berdiameter 4 dan 5 cm, terdiri atas beberapa KGB yang sudah melekat satu sama lain (konglomerasi). Disertai penurunan berat badan (BB) yang drastis sampai 15 kilogram dalam dua bulan terakhir. Berat badannya kini tinggal 40 kilogram. Penderita juga merasakan badan lemah dan meriang tanpa sebab yang pasti. Kelihatan pucat dan sakit berat.</p>
<p>Keesokan harinya suami pasien datang dengan membawa hasil CT-scan 64 slices dengan hasil : pembesaran KGB para-aorta dan mesenterial. Dari buku teks, Non Hodgkin Lymphoma juga disebabkan oleh virus, yaitu EBV  terutama pada Hodgkin Lymphoma. Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) juga menyebabkan kanker hidung, karsinoma nasofaring (KNF). Nah lo, lagi-lagi virus sebagai penyebab&#8230;</p>
<p>Kenapa virus mudah menghinggapi seseorang ? Orang terpapar virus dapat menjadi sakit atau tidak. Yang menjadi sakit setelah paparan virus, biasanya adalah yang daya tahan tubuhnya rendah dan yang tubuhnya sangat rentan terhadap invasi virus, dll. Yang tidak mudah terkena penyakit setelah paparan virus, sudah tentu yang berdaya tahan tubuh tinggi  serta tidak rentan terhadap invasi jasad renik seperti virus, dll.</p>
<p>Karena itu sudah menjadi kewajiban kita masing-masing untuk mempertahankan daya tahan tinggi tubuh kita sendiri. Caranya ? Dengan asupan makanan bergizi, istirahat yang cukup, olah-raga 2-3 kali per minggu serta berpikir positif selalu. Buang jauh-jauh rasa sirik, dengki, iri hati dan bermusuhan serta perasaan sedih yang teramat sangat, karena semua itu bersifat negatif dan sudah pasti akan berdampak pada kesehatan secara umum. Energi negatif tersebut akan menurunkan daya tahan tubuh kita. So, be friendly to everybody and the environment. And last but not least be happy always,  no matter you have problems&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Lately, I think I&#8217;ve short of time. So many cases that I have to handle, to be examined first by me and later on be processed by my technician which at last I have to look at the microscope to see and finally reveal the diagnoses.</p>
<p><a rel="lightbox" href="http://www.sukmamerati.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/re-exposure-of-resize-of-dscn1615.JPG" title="BREAST"><img src="http://www.sukmamerati.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/re-exposure-of-resize-of-dscn1615.thumbnail.JPG" alt="BREAST" /></a>The first case was a radical mastectomy from a 37 years old woman with breast cancer. One week ago this patient was done a biopsy on a 6 centimeters lump of her right breast, which already diagnosed with Invasive Ductal Carcinoma. The specimen was measured 15x 15x 3 cm, with nipple and skin attached on it. I have to see diligently, if all the margins of the operation : cranial, caudal, medial, lateral and base of the section were all free from tumor cells. So did to the possibility of vascular invasion or tumor emboli and lymph nodes dissected from her axilla or her right armpit. I found there were massive vascular invasions and infiltration of tumor cells to all the twelve lymphnodes of her right armpit.</p>
<p><a rel="lightbox" href="http://www.sukmamerati.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/re-exposure-of-resize-of-dscn1623.JPG" title="OVARY"><img src="http://www.sukmamerati.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/re-exposure-of-resize-of-dscn1623.thumbnail.JPG" alt="OVARY" /></a>The second case was a huge ovary cancer of a 43 years old woman. The specimen measured 16x 9x 7 cm, with a hard portion almost to the entire specimen. The outer surface was glistening, greyish-white. On slicing, I found an enormous greywhitish fleshy mass with rubber to hard consistency which later on I&#8217;ve made a diagnosis of Solid Embryonal Carcinoma of the Ovary. UnderÂ light Â microscope the morphology was almost like seminoma, but without lymphocytes infiltration in the stroma. I think the malignancy of this Solid Embryonal Carcinoma of the ovary is moderate. This patient has a bleak prognosis, because there&#8217;s already metastases to the peritoneum with adhesions to her bowels and many nodules on her liver..</p>
<p><a rel="lightbox" href="http://www.sukmamerati.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/re-exposure-of-resize-of-dscn1592.JPG" title="MYOMA"><img src="http://www.sukmamerati.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/re-exposure-of-resize-of-dscn1592.thumbnail.JPG" alt="MYOMA" /></a>The third case was a huge fibroid tumor of the womb or Benign Uterine Leiomyoma . The specimen measured 16 centimeters in diameter. On cut surfaces it looked fleshy fresh withÂ  bleeding spots. This specimen from a woman, 42 years of age. Imagine how big was her stomach before the operationÂ  taken to throwÂ out her solidÂ benign tumor of her wombÂ which she has had for 3 years&#8217; time.</p>
<p><a rel="lightbox" href="http://www.sukmamerati.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/resize-of-re-exposure-of-rotation-of-dscn1640.JPG" title="Thyroid"><img src="http://www.sukmamerati.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/resize-of-re-exposure-of-rotation-of-dscn1640.thumbnail.JPG" alt="Thyroid" /></a>The fourth case was a male patient, 56 years of age with a lump on his thyroid gland left lobus measuring 4 centimeters in diameter. This lump was known only 3 months before visiting my laboratory. Rubber consistency and a bit painful on palpation. He admitted that he got fever and difficulty in swallowing and feels short of breath. I&#8217;ve done a fine needle aspiration biopsy to his lump. And ultimately my diagnosis was Subacute Thyroiditis or de Quevain&#8217;s Thyroiditis. Lucky for him that his tumor need not to be operated, and will be fine and back to normal within 2-3 weeks time with only antibiotic and steroid tappering off therapy.</p>

Sebelumnya pasien ini telah dibiopsi-operasi dan saya diagnosis Invasive Ductal Carcinoma, Mammae.</p>
<p>Kali ini yang saya terima jaringan payudara berukuran 17x 10xÂ 8 cm yaitu hasil operasi mastektomi radikal. Tampak puting susu dengan posisi yang masih baik, tidak tertarik kearah dalam,Â Â dan juga Â jaringan kulit yang menutupi seluruh payudara masih tampak normal, tidak seperti kulit jeruk (peau d&#8217;orange).</p>
<p>Juga dikirim ke laboratorium PA, jaringan bertanda benang yaitu kelompok kelenjar getah bening pada level I, berjumlah 6 buah.</p>
<p>Kenapa semakin banyak saja wanita Indonesia yang terkena kanker payudara ?<span id="more-234"></span></p>
<p>Kanker payudara belakangan ini semakin banyak saja kita jumpai. Insidensinya berpacu dengan angka kejadian kanker serviks/mulut rahim yang menduduki posisi kanker nomor satuÂ  pada wanita Indonesia. Penyebabnya lagi-lagi gaya hidup/life style.</p>
<p>Wanita saat ini berperan ganda, selain sebagai istri, ibu yang mengatur segala urusan rumah tangga dan merawat bayi dan anak. Juga menjadi wanita karir yang berperan dalam mencari nafkah, mengaktualisasikanÂ  diri sesuai pendidikan yang didapat.</p>
<p>Sehingga banyak wanita karir yang lebih suka menunda punya anak, mendahulukan peningkatan karir semasih usia muda. Padahal dengan melahirkan dan menyusui bayi wanita akanÂ lebih terjaga dan lebih aman dari risiko terkena kanker payudara.</p>
<p>Selain itu faktor merokok juga menjadi pemicu kanker pada organ apapun. Semakin banyak saja wanita yang merokok, dari pedesaan sampai ke kota besar. Merokok dianggap penting dalam bersosialisasi, juga sebagai indikator modern dan kebebasan.</p>
<p>Padahal anjuran dan reklame anti-rokok telah disebarkan dimana-mana, termasuk dalam bungkus rokok yang dibeli. Namun masih banyak orang yang tidak peduli, dan berdalih orang tuanya juga perokok berat, tapi masih sehat-wal&#8217;afiat.. Nasib baik saja pada kasus seperti itu, karena dibidang apapun selalu ada exception/perkecualian.</p>
<p>Gambar pada artikel ini berupa gambaran makroskopik dan mikroskopik kanker payudara dari jenis yang paling sering, yaitu Invasive ductal Carcinoma mammae.</p>

Umumnya penderita berusia 40-an tahun. Dan dari anamnesis, semuanya adalah perokok berat yang menghabiskan rokok lebih dari satu bungkus per hari. <span id="more-71"></span></p>
<p><a rel="lightbox" href="http://www.sukmamerati.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/apartement-plus-sitologi-060.jpg" title="apartement-plus-sitologi-060.jpg"></a>Nikotin yang terdapat dalam tembakau selalu saja menjadi salah satu penyebab atau faktor resiko timbulnya kanker, bukan hanya kanker paru, tapi juga kanker di organ lain, termasuk leher rahim dan payudara. Kenapa begitu?</p>
<p>Nikotin dalam tubuh akan menurunkan daya tahan tubuh. Sedangkan kanker akan tumbuh dan berkembang dengan baik, bila daya tahan tubuh kita lemah. Jadi masuk akal, bila pada kanker apa saja, selalu ada rokok yang berperan sebagai biang kerok.</p>
<p>Kejadian kanker paru sudah sejak lama diketahui sangat erat kaitannya dengan merokok. Namun meski larangan merokok di tempat umum dan peringatan bahaya rokok yang selalu menyertai iklan produk rokok, tapi masih saja para perokok tidak bergeming.</p>
<p>Kasus terakhir yang saya temukan, seorang laki-laki usia 47 tahun yang baru hanya 4 bulan ini merasakan sering batuk disertai rasa nyeri didada. Berat badan turun drastis, 11 kg.</p>
<p>Gambar sitologi dibawah mikroskop dari cairan bilasan bronkhus yang saya terima dari dokter spesialis paru adalah seperti gambar yang menyertai tulisan ini.</p>
<p>Kedua gambar menunjukkan sel-sel kanker dari jenis Small cell Carcinoma, jenis yang paling ganas dan terutama ditemukan pada perokok berat.</p>
<p>Penderita sesak nafas luar biasa dengan postur tubuh yang kurus-ceking. Pasien meninggal berbarengan dengan hasil pemeriksaan patologi anatomik (PA) keluar, sehari setelah sampel cairan bilasan bronkhus diterima. Dirawat di ICU belum genap 2 hari, belum sempat diberikan khemoterapi.</p>
<p>Apa yang turut memperberat keadaan pasien ini adalah saat diketahui kebiasaannya menghabiskan 4 (empat) bungkus rokok setiap hari.</p>
<p>Sayang, bukan? Daripada uang habis dibakar untuk rokok, mungkin lebih baik dibelikan makanan bergizi: susu, daging, buah atau sayur-sayuran yang sangat bermanfaat bagi kesehatan tubuh.</p>

<p>Most of the type of this deadly cancer is Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC), and after that adenocarcinoma or adenosquamous carcinoma and other rare types.</p>
<p>Lately experts have <em>found a new vaccine</em> that could protect women from this lethal disease. The vaccine was made <em>against human papilloma virus (HPV) infection</em>, that we believe is the number one cause of SCC.<span id="more-46"></span></p>
<p>In order to get full protections against HPV, women should take three times vaccination which will be injected. This vaccination costs you about 1 million Indonesian money (IDR) for each time you are vaccinated. Thus three times will cost 3 million IDR.</p>
<p>With that high cost, not every woman could afford, especially the lower economic society. While uterine cervical cancer prone to be majority in that class of people.</p>
<p>High risk are : prostitutes, multiple sexual partners, smoking, low socio-economic status and low educated women.</p>

<p>We have to counter check with the titer of her serological-CEA which usually will be high, and I suspected the primary tumor resides in one of these sites : breast, lung, colorectal or ovary.</p>
<p>Well, still far away to find her primer malignancy. We will see in a few days..</p>

She has the lump since 20 years ago, it grows bigger and bigger until a diameter of 15 cm, when the first time she saw me. At that time I made a diagnose of adenomatous goiter, due to the abundant macrophages seen on her slides.<span id="more-36"></span></p>

Yes, as you can see on the photograph herewith, they&#8217;re bilateral thyroid gland, right and left lobe. When I looked at the microscope, I was so happy, because I did see the morphology of adenomatous goiter. I was not dreaming,</p>
<p>I sent an sms to the patient, telling that her tumor was totally benign, nothing to worry about. So, I hope I will see her someday in Timika, West Papua where the panoramic nature are absolutely fantastic..</p>
<p>Yes, I am still happy until I write this article, because I was successful with my job. God bless me! Thank you God..</p>

<p><a rel="lightbox" href="http://www.sukmamerati.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/dscn6999_lg.jpg" title="Renal Cell Carcinoma, Grade-4"><img src="http://www.sukmamerati.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/dscn6999_lg.thumbnail.jpg" alt="Renal Cell Carcinoma, Grade-4" /></a>The patient was 70 years old and he underwent  right nephrectomy 3 days ago, for a kidney tumor on his right which was started just two months ago, according to his daughter. His right kidney measuring 14 cm at the biggest diameter. Hematuria was his chief complain, besides one big lump on his left cheek measuring 3 cm in diameter, also started about the same time, two months ago.<span id="more-22"></span></p>
<p><a rel="lightbox" href="http://www.sukmamerati.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/dscn6995_lg.jpg" title="Renal Cell Carcinoma, Grade-4"><img src="http://www.sukmamerati.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/dscn6995_lg.thumbnail.jpg" alt="Renal Cell Carcinoma, Grade-4" /></a>I will try to post the macroscopic kidney and the patient himself. I took his picture when I tried to see where about the lump on his cheek. There were some stitches still on the open biopsy done by surgeon to find out what was the bulky lump inside the soft tissue of his left cheek</p>
<p><a rel="lightbox" href="http://www.sukmamerati.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/dscn6996_lg.jpg" title="Renal Cell Carcinoma, Grade-4"><img src="http://www.sukmamerati.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/dscn6996_lg.thumbnail.jpg" alt="Renal Cell Carcinoma, Grade-4" /></a>This is the first time I saw the metastasis of renal cell carcinoma to soft tissue. The morphology of this kidney tumor was renal cell carcinoma with sarcomatoid appearence, so that it was graded as grade-4, the most malignant of this type..</p>
<p>Very interesting case, but I am not feeling good, when I heard the patient was passed away&#8230;</p>

In the last 5 years this deadly cancer is approaching the incidence of uterine cervical cancer that rank as number one cancer among women in Indonesia.<span id="more-16"></span></p>
<p>We all know, that by modernization, Indonesian women are now do not want to have many children as their moms were. And the more women working and pursuing their own career, the more would delay their marriage and having children. This condition would bring the unopposed-estrogen in their body as the condition where breast cancer will develop.</p>
<p><a rel="lightbox" href="http://www.sukmamerati.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/invasive_ductal_carcinoma2.jpg" title="Invasive ductal Carcinoma"><img src="http://www.sukmamerati.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/invasive_ductal_carcinoma2.thumbnail.jpg" alt="Invasive ductal Carcinoma" /></a>Uniquely, not all of the women have enough knowledge about this cancer. So, the patient will ignore early symptoms and signs of this breast cancer, so that they will come at the late stadium. This would bring consequences of poor prognosis to the patient.</p>
<p>Picture on top is a diagram and a bit morphology of lobular carcinoma and at the bottom is invasive ductal carcinoma of the breast which is the most common type of breast cancer.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I don&#8217;t exactly remember, if this kind of hematologic neoplasia coud occur in such old person. What I know, is the cyto-morphology of this patient seemed to show Reed Sternberg cells on my assestment.</p>
<p>But I still consider this case of being an NHL, with Pleomorphic peripheral T-cell Lymphoma type, which is caused by viral infection (HTLV-I). I do have the smear slides, but forgot to take picture of this patient with enlargement of submental lymph node and a large bulky lump on his left neck. He is doing good, but.</p>
