It is a squamous cell cancer that mostly affects older women over the age of 65. In the existing body of literature, no instances of vulvar cancer have been documented in the form of case reports. Therefore, this study aimed to report the challenges and outcomes of vulvectomy with reconstructive flap in vulvar cancer survivors in a 39-year-old woman. Case Presentation: A 39-year-old woman with a palpable lump around the vulva was present and being examined. The anatomic pathology report (APR) features suggested poorly differentiated malignant tumors. A neoadjuvant chemotherapy was then administered to the patient aimed at shrinking the size of the tumor. However, there was no effective response to the chemotherapy, which resulted in a progressive tumor. Extensive vulvectomy and reconstructive flap were carried out to support quality of life, and the outcomes were reported, including flap, survival, complications, and mortality. These outcomes were evaluated between November 2021 and March 2023. No total flap loss was observed, and neither was there any donor site morbidity or mortality during the process. Conclusions: This study showed that vulvar cancer was a rare condition at a young age. Advanced vulvar cancer was found in the patients and extensive vulvectomy surgery was carried out followed by a pedicled ALT flap. This option was currently the best for immediate reconstruction due to the preservation of sensibility and tissue availability in the donor areas. The result showed no wound dehiscence, marginal necrosis, or surgical site infection. After 15 months of follow-up, the flap was observed to have good vascularization. The association of the Gynecologist with the Plastic Surgeon offered palliative care to improve the quality of life of the patient and provide good postoperative results.

However, the extent of its impact on radiologists with different levels of experience remains largely unexplored. Therefore, this study aimed to comprehensively show how AI could assist radiologists of varying expertise including breast and non-breast radiologists, as well as senior residents, in performing mammogram interpretation.Methods: This retrospective study analyzed eligible mammograms from Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital between January 2017 and March 2021. Mammographic readings were conducted independently by two breast radiologists, two from other subspecialties, and three senior residents, all blinded to clinical information. AI standalone performance, as well as radiologists with and without AI assistance, was measured. Results: The results showed that a total of 886 eligible mammograms were analyzed. AI standalone performance, assessed using ROC curve analysis, yielded an AUC of 0.946 (95% CI, 0.925–0.967) with sensitivity and specificity of 90.1% and 93.6%, respectively. AI assistance significantly improved the sensitivity and specificity of all radiologists, regardless of experience level, with a median increase of 19.4% (IQR, 10.4–33.5%) and 12.1% (IQR, 5.2–16.2%), respectively. Moreover, there was a trend toward a higher increase with AI assistance in dense compared to fatty breasts.Conclusions: AI proved to be a highly effective diagnostic supplement for radiologists across varying experience levels, specifically in non-breast radiologists, offering the potential to add even greater value in cases of dense breast tissue. The results were derived from a national referral tertiary hospital that generally received many breast cancer cases referred from other hospitals for further treatment. Therefore, further studies incorporating different levels of hospitals were needed.","PeriodicalId":13489,"journal":{"name":"Indonesian Journal of Cancer","volume":"5 11","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138944818","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) accounts for a substantial portion of these cases. While histological biopsy is the golden standard for diagnosis of this disease, its invasiveness and associated risks show the need for an alternative approach. This review evaluates the potential of Isocitrate Dehydrogenase (IDH) as a specific serum biomarker for NSCLC detection. Aim: This study aimed to provide an overview of the diagnostic potential of IDH serum and identify gaps of knowledge for further investigations.Methods: A literature search was conducted across 3 databases, namely Pubmed, Science Direct, and Proquest, following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines.Results: The analysis of 4 studies showed a higher level of IDH in the serum of early-stage NSCLC patients before surgery compared to healthy control. Most investigations reported an AUC above 0.5 and were statistically significant.Conclusion: IDH has promising potential as a biomarker for diagnosing NSCLC. Future investigations should conduct a cohort study type to avoid bias and establish the definitive role of this enzyme as a reliable biomarker for NSCLC.","PeriodicalId":13489,"journal":{"name":"Indonesian Journal of Cancer","volume":"12 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138944509","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To address this challenge, a margin is often incorporated to compensate for the motion, but it has been reported to have several limitations. Consequently, respiratory gating has emerged as an integrated feature within radiotherapy-related machines. This innovative approach is designed to overcome motion-related challenges, leading to a reduction in the required margin and an improvement in the accuracy of the radiation beam. Methods: This study reviews the literature published in English between 2012 to 2021 regarding breathing monitoring devices used in the clinical or research stage. Furthermore, articles published before 2000 were traced to strengthen the theories. Results: Several monitoring devices had been reported to have respiratory gating purposes, but some were not equipped for this function. Furthermore, these devices were often developed using non-contact equipment, such as lasers and cameras, to provide accurate and precise measurements. One of their key advantages is the lack of physical attachment to the patients, thereby preserving comfort. The development of respiratory gating devices had significant potential to enhance the quality of radiotherapy treatment. This was manifested through more effective tumor and organ treatment and reduced toxicity. These benefits had the potential to extend the life expectancy of patients with respiratory-related cancer. Conclusions: Based on the results, respiratory gating was an advantageous technique in radiotherapy treatment. The development of respiratory gating devices enhanced patient comfort and the effectiveness of treatment.","PeriodicalId":13489,"journal":{"name":"Indonesian Journal of Cancer","volume":"79 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138945479","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
