Cancer Epidemiology Based on Hospital-Based Cancer Registry at National Referral Hospital of Indonesia, 2013

Cancer is the primary cause of death in developed or developing country. To develop hospital policy and research, comprehensive epidemiological data are needed. This research aims to provide epidemiological and demographical profiles of cancer from a hospital-based cancer registry (HBCR) at Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital in 2013. This is a descriptive study involving cancer patients based on the HBCR from January-December 2013. Cancer frequency at the hospital in 2013 was 4,915 cases, with the majority of the patients were 45-54 years old, regardless of their sexes. Sex ratio was 3:2 for women and men, respectively. The most frequent age of female patients was 45-54 years old, while for male patients was 55-64 years old. In 2013, the hospital served more cancer patients from outside Jakarta than from Jakarta itself. Breast cancer, cervical cancer, and hematopoietic and reticuloendothelial systems cancer were the most prevalent types of cancer in women. Additionally, hematopoietic and reticuloendothelial systems cancer, nasopharyngeal cancer, and lymphoma were the most prevalent types of cancer in men. Most breast and cervical cancers came in either locally advanced or advanced stage. Histopathological examination revealed that most prevalent types of cancer were Infiltrating duct carcinoma of breast, nonkeratinized squamous cell carcinoma of cervix, and acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
