Prof Tan Yah Yuen of Singapore said the new approach to breast cancer surgery including removal of the breast by keeping the nipple. Breast conservation is possible with the help of sentinel lymph node examination, using a SPECT gamma camera that can precisely see the spread of cancer cells in lymph nodes are affected. This facility is already available in MRCCC Siloam Hospital Jakarta.
This was revealed in the Symposium on Current Treatment of Breast Cancer, Heart and Colon. The event was initiated MRCCC Siloam Hospital as a tangible manifestation of commitment MRCCC Siloam provide good health care for the treatment of cancer. If handled and treated early, will give a better life expectancy. Mentioned, early detection of breast cancer include screening with ultrasound, mammography, breast MRI, biopsy, endoscopic breast surgery, image guided non-surgical ablation for cancers smaller size, needs to be done for the treatment of cancer early.
Symposium which provides added value to practitioners of this cancer, cancer presents about 50 international experts, President of World Gastroenterology Organization Prof. G.N.J Tytgat MD, PhD, from the Netherlands; Prof. Harald J. Hoekstra MD, PhD - Professor of Surgical Oncology of UNMCG Netherlands, and Prof. Eisuke Fukuma MD, PhD - Director of Breast Cancer, Kameda Medical Centre of Japan, and the national cancer surgery expert Dr. Samuel Hary Spb Onk (K).
In this symposium, is shown also Oncoplastic Surgery in patients with breast cancer by Dr. Samuel Hary Spb Onk (K) together with Prof.. Eisuke Fukuma, MD, PhD, who relayed live from the hospital operating room MRCCC to 200 participants attended the surgeon and internist from all hospitals and medical schools from all over Indonesia.
Another thing that is appointed as a topic in a three-day symposium and workshop is the liver and colon cancer.
According to Professor Pierce Chow, Asia-Pacific region bear the burden of 70 percent of the total incidence of liver cancer (liver) of the world, due to chronic viral hepatitis and Hepatitis B (chronic inflammation in liver tissue because it is caused by a virus). "But overall, only 5-15 percent of patients diagnosed with liver cancer can undergo cancer surgery, because of liver function is decreased or the presence of liver cirrhosis," added Dr. Hasan Irsan.
In liver cancer patients who can not undergo cancer surgery, local ablation technique can be performed (with Percutaneus Ethanol Injection [PEI], microwave coagulation therapy [MCT], and Radiofrekuency Ablation [RFA]). What is meant by microwave coagulation therapy is heated to a temperature of 600 tumor cells so that the tumor cells die.
"TACE (Trans Arterial Chemo embolization) was used as an adjunctive therapy in patients with liver cancer that is minimally invasive. The purpose of this therapy is to shrink the tumor cells, enhance quality of life with chemotherapy and close the blood vessels that feed tumor cells, "said dr. Soewandi AH from MRCCC Siloam Hospital Jakarta.
Prevention of liver cancer in a person, by routine hepatitis B immunization, AFP examination, abdominal ultrasound, early diagnosis and early treatment of hepatitis B. With the early diagnosis and early treatment of hepatitis B, will prolong survival and allow early detection of liver cancer. Liver cancer is detected early will have a higher cure rate.
Colorectal cancer (colon) due to, among other things: heredity (genetics), a previous history of patients suffering from benign tumors of the colon, patients suffering from inflammation of the intestine (Inflamantory Bowel Disease), in addition to diet and exposure to certain substances facilitate the incidence of cancer in man.
"The earlier found in cancerous tissue, this condition gives a better outcome for patients, and lower mortality rates in patients. The methods used for early detection of colon cancer, outside biopsy, among others: endoscopy, chromoskopi, autofluorescent endoscopy, narrow band imaging, and endomicroscopy, "explained Prof. GNJ Tytgat Emerson, President of World Gastroenterology Organisation of the Netherlands.
"Therapy of colon cancer is open surgery, laparoscopic surgery (surgery using an optical fiber inserted into the patient's body. This operation allows the incision in the skin that fewer and level of care in hospital is shorter), chemotherapy, and targeted therapy , "said Dr. R. Errawan Wiradisuria.
"The success of treatment and sustained course of cancer therapy olehalat latest health. RS. Siloam MRCCC LINAC IX has had a tool for radiotherapy of cancer patient with Tehnology IMRT, which enables targeted radiation on cancer cells, supported by PET / CT as the latest technology in detecting cancer. It plays a major role in determining the initial staging and evaluation of the success of cancer therapy (both of Chemo, radiation and surgery). Another thing, PET / CT can also to assess the recurrence / metastasis (spread) of cancer cells in the body, "said Dr. Hannah Eko Purnomo SPKN and Moniaga, CEO of RS. MRCCC Siloam.
