Abstract

Breast cancer and cervical cancer are the cause of death for Indonesian women. The cancer morbidity rate in Salatiga is 1% according to the Salatiga City Health Profile in 2015. Every woman has a second risk factor for cancer that affects her life. The aim was to find out the second risk factor for cancer in the PKK Focus Group Discussion (FGD) in Salatiga. The research design used was a quantitative survey, with a closed questionnaire method containing 19 questions about breast cancer risk factors and 11 questions for cervical cancer. The study was conducted in seven urban villages during August 2016-January 2017, in 95 people. The results obtained include: risk factors for non-modified cervical cancer: the age of marriage above 12 years, aged over 30 years, the number of children more than 2 people. Risk factors for modification obtained include: not yet HPV immunization, not yet Pap smear, and KB IUD. Participants with moderate risk categories were 42 people (44.21%). Non-modified breast cancer risk factors include: age of menarche above 12 years, age of menopause above 55 years, having a history of tumors, and age of childbirth above 30 years. Risk modification factors include: high fat consumption, rarely consumption of vegetables / fruit, rarely exercise, obesity, and radiation exposure. The FGD participants entered the moderate risk category by 46 people (48.42%). The unpaired T test showed differences in seviks cancer scores (p = 0.041) and there were no differences in breast cancer scores (p = 0.464) in urban and peripheral members. PKK FGD participants had moderate risk factors for cervical cancer and breast cancer. Strong member commitment is needed to change risk factors with a healthy lifestyle.
