This document discusses cancer diagnosis through anamnesis, physical examination, diagnostic imaging, laboratory tests, and biopsy. The goal of diagnosis is to determine if cancer is present, provide a prognosis, and guide treatment decisions. Anamnesis and physical examination provide initial information but have limitations. Additional tests like imaging, blood tests, and biopsy of suspicious tissue are needed to characterize tumors and determine cancer type, extent of spread, and stage according to TNM classification. Together this diagnostic information answers patient and family questions, guides management, and estimates survival outcomes.

DIAGNOSIS IN ONCOLOGY
Prof. Dr. dr. Teguh Aryandono,
SpB(K)Onk Division of Surgical Oncology Faculty of Medicine , GMU DIAGNOSIS To answer the questions - Is there any malignancy - Prognosis - Decision of treatment Patients and families Suffered from cancer? Can I be cured? How long can I live? What symptoms ? DIAGNOSIS Answer that questions Plan treatment Guiding the patient and family DIAGNOSIS Anamnesis Physical examination Diagnostic imaging Laboratory examination Diagnostic pathology Characteristic of information Organ of origin Histological grade Local extension (T) Lymph node extension (N) Distant metastasis (M) STAGING :TNM Tumor with same histologic type, from the same origin, grow and spread with the same pattern AJCC, WHO, FIGO Clinical Staging Anamnesis, physical examination, simple laboratory methods, radiodiagnostic and endoscopy Find everywhere Radiologic staging With modern radiology equipment - CT Scan - Lymphography - MRI Surgical Staging Intraoperative findings Infiltration of tumor to surrounding tissues Pathological Staging Include histologic evaluation : tumor invasion, lymph node metastasis etc In breast cancer : node 1- 3 (N1) differ from 4 or more (N2) Clinical stage T1, radiological stage T2, surgical stage T3 Prognostic and Predictive factors Prognostic factor - All factors in connection with disease free and overall survival, without adjuvant treatment - Clinical, pathological, biological Predictive factor - connection with response to treatment Prognosis Tumor Patients - age - nutrition - immunological status Also : DOCTOR Anamnesis and Clinical examination No symptom and sign under 1 gram ( 1 cm3) Anamnesis and physical examination not sensitive Still important : tumor at this stage can be cured with locoregional treatment Anamnesis Symptoms - Local : pain, function,bleeding, swelling etc - Metastasis : lung, liver, bone, brain - Product of metastasis: anorexia, febrile, leucocytosis Anamnesis Localization of tumor Risk factors - smoking - Alcohol - Environment : asbes,benzen - Radiation : sunlight - Synthetic estrogen - Virus - Family history of cancer Bone metastasis Breast ca : 73% Lung ca : 33% Kidney ca : 24% Colorectal ca : 22% pain, pathologic fracture Lung metastasis 30% of cancer patients Usually peripheral location ,no symptom Dyspnea and chest pain : malignant pleural effusion Liver metastasis More than 50% alimentary tract cancer metastasis to the liver Asymptomatic Pain, in the shoulder Malaise, anorexia, fever Brain metastasis 30% from cancer patients Lung, breast cancer, melanoma Cephalgia - direct extension to nerve or meninges - increase intracranial pressure Physical Examination Depends on localization of tumor Intrathoracal or intrabdominal : difficult Superficial : skin, soft tissue, breast, relatively easy Lymph node : very important more than 1 cm : abnormal supraclavicular : abnormal Causes of lymph node enlargement Malignant 43% - Malignant lymphoma 37% - Metastasis 63% . Lung cancer 53% . Head and neck cancer 14% . Other tumors 33% Non malignant 57% - No diagnosis 75% - Infection 15% - Granulomatous inflamation 5% - others 5% Anamnesis and physical examination No specific sign and symptom Depends on primary tumor and metastasis Clinical presentation : asymptomatic to multiple organ failure and disturbance of regulation mechanism Complicated by diagnostic methods, sometimes give more morbidity Anamnesis and physical examination Very important Diagnosis in the early stage Guidance for further examinations Prevent complication, manage in the early stage or give palliation Diagnostic Imaging Conventional radiology Digital radiography CT scan Echography MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) Scintigraphy Diagnostic Imaging Primary tumor Metastasis - Lymph node - Bone - Lung - Liver - CNS / Brain - Peritoneal Interventional radiology Biopsy guided with - Echography - CT Scan - (MRI) - (Fluoroscopy) Laboratory Diagnosis No specific examination Tumor markers Tumor markers Can be measured quantitatively by biochemical or immunochemical in tissue or body fluid Tumor markers To detect a cancer and organ where possibly resides To establish the extent of tumor burden before treatment To monitor the response to treatment Essential to understand Sensitivity Spesificity Positive predictive value Negative predictive value Screening and follow-up asymptomatic patients AFP Beta HCG CEA CA125 BIOPSY Techniques for obtaining tissue Aspiration Biopsy Cytology analysis Major surgical resection should not be undertaken solely on the basis of evidence of aspiration biopsy Needle Biopsy
- obtaining a core of tissue
- sufficient for diagnosis of most tumor types - soft tissue and bone sarcoma : difficult Incisional biopsy Small wedge of tissue from a larger tumor mass Preferred method for soft tissue and bone sarcoma Excisional biopsy Excision of entire suspected tumor tissue with little or no margin of surrounding normal tissue Principles guide of all surgical biopsies Needle tracts or scars should be placed carefully , so they can be conveniently remove as part of the subsequent definite surgical procedure Extremity : longitudinal Not to contaminate new tissue planes during biopsy Large hematome >> tumor spread Choice of biopsy technique : adequate tissue sample for the needs of the pathologist Handling of the biopsy tissue by the pathologist is also important - certain orientation >> mark - Certain fixatives CONCLUSION DIAGNOSIS - Anamnesis/ history taking - Physical examination - Addition : - radiology / imaging - laboratory examination - Biopsy : cytology histology STAGING - TNM - UICC/ FIGO TREATMENT - curative intent - palliative intent
Surgery Radiotherapy Chemotherapy Hormonal therapy etc PROGNOSIS - TNM and other prognostic factors - Overall Survival - Disease Free Survival Thank You
