Abstract

Cervical cancer is a malignant neoplasm that happened in the cervical area. Several types of cervical cancer that usually happens in women such as squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), adenocarcinoma, adenosquamous carcinoma and neuroendocrine carcinoma. Therefore, this study aims to determine a descriptive description of the histopathological profile of cervical cancer tissue from patients that registered in the Anatomical Pathology Laboratory at the DR. Pirngadi Medan Hospital, in the period of 2019. The type of our research is retrospective descriptive with the sampling technique, namely total sampling. The sample used was cervical cancer tissue obtained from the biopsy and surgery on patients who were registered from January 2019 to December 2019, totaling 18 samples. Based on the descriptive histopathological description, we found three types of cervical cancer tissue: squamous cell carcinoma (55.5%), adenocarcinoma (38.8%) and adenosquamous carcinoma (5.5%). The neuroendocrine carcinoma type did not find in this present study. Of three types of these cervical cancer, we got that cervical cancer patients are women aged between 36-72 years, with an average age of 54 years.

Highlights

  • Cervical cancer is the second most dangerous disease and has the highest morbidity and mortality rates in women and 85% of the causes of death occur in developing countries with lower middle income as many as 500,000 new cases and 250,000 deaths each year (WHO, 2006).The International Academy of Pathology, Indonesian Division reported that from 13 hospitals in Indonesia, it was found that cervical cancer was a type of cancer with the highest number of 17.25% followed by breast cancer as much as 12.2% (Heryani, 2018)

Summary

Introduction

Cervical cancer is the second most dangerous disease and has the highest morbidity and mortality rates in women and 85% of the causes of death occur in developing countries with lower middle income as many as 500,000 new cases and 250,000 deaths each year (WHO, 2006). The large number of cervical cancer patients is due to the fact that most cervical cancer patients carry out their examination at the hospital at Stage III or IV (Kementerian Kesehatan RI, 2015). This is due to the lack of public knowledge about cervical cancer. A diagnosis based on the histopathological type of cervical cancer tissue can be used for treatment planning and as initial data which is needed for the exchange of information between various cancer treatment centers, especially in Indonesia. Based on the description above, this study aims to observe the histopathological profile of cervical cancer tissue in patients at the Anatomical Pathology Laboratory of the DR.
