“We are very proud of this increase. So far, the greatest increase,” said Gottfried Hirnschall, director of WHO’s department of HIV / AIDS. According to him, the increase was due to improved access to medicines in the world, especially in sub-Saharan Africa.

WHO presented the data in an international conference on AIDS in Austria which was attended by thousands of experts and AIDS activist. Bill Clinton, in his speech acknowledged the success of the fixed rate but the number was still far from enough.

“Five million people who are in treatment is very much compared with what we started. We can not  this epidemic without more funds and real action to use it,” he said.

AIDS drug users, Clinton said, in many places the stigma and get their rights have been violated. “It should concern us all,” he said.

Small-scale study conducted on 20 patients showed that psychotropic drugs are safe and enhance the effects of psychotherapy. Help psychiatrist in psychotherapy is needed to deal with emotional disturbances in the form of excessive sadness, fear, or feeling of emptiness.

Because new to the respondents who tested were little, and now U.S. scientists plan to conduct trials on larger groups, namely at a military veteran. Still, experts are still waiting for other evidence that supports these initial results.

In a study published in the Journal of Psychopharmacology, the research team revealed that the patients selected in this research only those who are experiencing post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) for several years and failed in other mental recovery therapy.

At trial, patients given 28-hour schedule of sessions of psychotherapy for several weeks apart. A total of 12 people given ekstaksi and eight women were given placebo pills. Two months later, 10 of 12 patients who received ecstasy showed a positive response to therapy. In contrast, only two of eight patients who received placebo showed improvement.

So far not reported any adverse effects from the use of psychotropic drugs in the study. According to Dr. Michael Mithoefer, chief researcher, therapy for patients with PTSD will bring the patient “come again” a traumatic condition.

Psychotherapy is a process to reduce or control the problems and painful symptoms so that patients can return to normal.

Although most people who undergo psychotherapy felt a significant development, this treatment is not something that can be expected to solve problems quickly. Failure of this therapy is often because patients do not want to open themselves or their feelings are “blunt”. “The use of psychotropic drugs will make patients more entry in zone therapy and help them process the trauma,” said Mithoefer.

“Cervical cancer raises health expenses, emotional and economic support for sufferers and also affects the whole family because this disease can often infect and kill women in productive age 30-50 years,” said Dr. Billy Purwoto of Gynecology Oncology Division, Department of Obstetrics Gynecology (Gynecology and Midwifery) RSCM / FKUI Jakarta, Friday (24 / 7).

Cervical cancer is the most common cancer in women in Indonesia. According to Dr. Melissa S Luwia, Chairman of the Second Division of Social nan ministry Indonesian Cancer Foundation (ICF), Association of Cervical Cancer Care (PPKS) which is part of the ICF was established to promote the dangers of cervical cancer in women in Indonesia. The principle of prevention is better than cure us have been socialized, so the women checked out early and not be able to see a doctor during an advanced stage which is still difficult penangannya.

Cervical cancer is caused by infection or recurrent infections caused by Human Papilloma Virus (HP V) cancer-causing (oncogenic). In the world, every two minutes a woman dies due to cervical cancer. In cervical cancer cases worldwide amounted to some 500 000 cases per year, and mortality rate 270 000 deaths per year.

HPV 16 and 18 is the main cause in 70 percent of cervical cancer cases in the world. Other risk factors among young married, age less than 20 years. “It could also because of multiple sexual partners or alternately,” said Billy.

On last Friday, several members PPKS who are the survivors (survivors) from cervical cancer) comes to visit and confirm the RSCM for cervical cancer patients in RSCM the amount of which as many as 28 patients.

Dr. Laila Nuranna SpOG (K) from the Division of Gynecology Oncology Department of Gynecology Obsterti RSCM / FKUI states that in addition to 28 patients who underwent inpatient care, each day there are 10-50 patients in RSCM outpatient treatment.

“For our medics look at the fact that many patients already in hospital dtaang as advanced stage,” said Laila Nurrana.

Therefore, prevention is the best step, namely the promotion, education and vaccination as primary prevention and screening or papsmear as secondary prevention. “Tertiary prevention with therapy and rehabilitation,” said Billy. Purwoto.

This was revealed on the show “Fight for Cervical Cancer” held by the Faculty of vocational Public Relations, University of Indonesia,. This activity aims to increase awareness of women, especially female students about the dangers of cervical cancer (cervical).

Cervical cancer is cancer of the lower area of the uterus that connects the uterus with the vagina. Normal cervical cells infected with human papilloma virus (HPV), especially types 16 and 18, slowly evolved into precancerous.

One of the speakers, content specialists Adrian Setiawan, said that cervical cancer is the leading cause of death of women in developing countries. According to data Globocan 2002, there were 40 000 new cases of cervical cancer with about 22,000 deaths in women in Southeast Asia. Indonesia is ranked first with 15 050 new cases and deaths in the year 7566 souls.

The figure is not much change, even increased compared with the previous year. Premises a growing number of patients, cervical cancer cases occur iceberg phenomenon. “This means about 20 Indonesian women died of cervical cancer per day,” said Adrian.

One of the causes of high incidence in developing countries is limited information about that type of cancer. Early detection of pap smears and vaccines are still relatively expensive. Pap smear costs Rp 400,000-Rp 700,000. HPV vaccine Aementara once to Rp 1 million needles.

Adrian said, about 90 percent of cervical cancers caused by HPV-common viruses. While 80-10 HPV-infected women allegedly had in his life. The virus can be transmitted in women and men. There are about 100 types of HPV and 30 of them on the genitals. Most can be cleaned by the body.

Types of HPV that are known to cause cancer among other types 16 and 18, cause about 70 percent of cervical cancer. Cervical cancer is often without symptoms, so that approximately 70 percent of patients present in advanced stage.

Similar disclosed Adityawati G Parengkuan from Indonesia Cancer Foundation. He said cancer patients continues to increase and 85 percent of the causes of cancer in general is 15 percent of environmental factors and genetic factors.

Risk factors for cervical cancer include sexual intercourse young age (less than 20 years), changing sexual partners, often suffer from infections in the genital area, and gave birth to many children. Another risk factor is a deficiency of vitamins A, C and E as well as exposure to cigarette smoke.

Adrian said, the primary prevention of cervical cancer vaccine may be with HPV types 16 and 18. Other measures to keep sexual behavior.

CANCER heart seems more rarely encountered in coffee drinkers compared with people not drinking coffee. This report was published in the August issue of the journal Hepatology ago, which displays the findings from 10 studies on the relationship between coffee and liver cancer.

The studies were reviewed by researchers including Francesca Bravi of the Istituto Ricerche Farmacologiche in Milan, Italy. The study covers the entire 2260 people with liver cancer and 240,000 people without liver cancer. The participants live in Greece, Italy, and Japan. Participants reported on their coffee habits.

The data show that coffee drinkers seem 41 percent less diagnosed with liver cancer than people who do not drink coffee. For every cup of coffee is drunk, the number diagnosed with liver cancer may decline to 23 percent.

Some studies define consumption as much as 3 cups of coffee or more per day. The other set at a lower rate, no more than 1 cup of coffee per day. In fact, liver cancer is less common in coffee drinkers in all countries (Greece, Italy, Japan). Researchers say these findings are not accidental or a local phenomenon. They speculate that coffee improve liver enzymes and cut cirrhosis and liver cancer. Thus, whether drinking coffee or not prevent liver cancer, further research is still continued

NEVER underestimate constipation or difficult bowel movements because if prolonged can lead to colon cancer. Prevent a healthy lifestyle now.

Quality of life is the desire of each person, whoever it was. Various ways done to improve the quality of life itself. For example, by maintaining a good lifestyle by eating healthy foods, or can also with regular exercise.

Life in the big city and make a lot of people have difficulty adjusting healthy lifestyle because of the rush and routine of daily solid. Lack of exercise, often eat fast food that does not contain fiber, trigger constipation, or known by the term constipation.

Constipation is often underestimated. And if left to drag on could risk colon cancer. Although casuistic nature, does not occur in all people, complaining about the same people with constipation, the stomach was bloated, full, and no appetite.

Then to watch if constipation suffered more than three weeks. Such cases are usually followed by a decrease in body weight, fever, weakness, and feces (droppings) bleeding. The manure is too long in the intestines, the water content are continuously absorbed by the intestine so that the volume shrinks, and becomes hard and dry. This situation makes it difficult bowel muscle massage stool toward the rectum.

“The dirt is too long to settle in the intestines will dry up and worry about bowel will absorb the toxins from the dirt. If it happens in the long run, may trigger bowel cancer,” said Specialist Internist Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital, Dr Iqbal Firdaus, duhubungi some another time.

Iqbal says, actually constipation can be avoided by eating foods that contain lots of fiber. Example of the fruits and various vegetables.

“The problem today is our society still has a lot of sense to maintain a healthy diet. That’s what makes the case of constipation and increasing every year,” he said minus the glasses.

Noted, the case of constipation in several hospitals in Jakarta every year has increased compared to previous years. For example in Jakarta Dharmais Cancer Hospital, the hospital had reviewed all patients who had indicated his gut tract cancer. So even in RSCM Jakarta, occurred 50 percent increase in colon cancer patients.

Constipation not only occur in Indonesia, also occurred in many other developing countries in the world. However, in the developed countries, awareness of the importance of fiber that is so entrenched that triggers constipation cases of colon cancer can be suppressed.

Citing research results European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) some time ago, proved that the consumption of fiber in the European residents can deduct up to 40 percent risk of colon cancer formation. Research carried out for 5 years has involved 10 countries, 519,978 people aged 25-70 years old respondents.

Fiber in foods can be obtained from vegetables such as spinach (0.8 g), watercress (1g), papaya leaf (2.1 g), cassava leaves (1.2 g), cabbage (1.2 g), mustard green (1.2 g) , celery (0.7 g), lettuce (0.6 g), and tomato (1.2 g).

“Drinking water is also a very big role. By taking at least 2 liters of water per day, can soften the food in the stomach so the nutrients easily absorbed by the intestines and food waste is not hard,” said the doctor boned fat.

Iqbal further suggest, if often constipated, do not take laxatives too often because it will harden feces. If forced to take a laxative, it is advisable to select the diluent is not too hard, or laxative lightweight.

“However simple and natural way the most powerful to prevent and overcome constipation is by eating fiber from foods, fruits and vegetables, and drinking water,” he said.

Women lifestyle is unhealthy triggers cancer. Not surprisingly, the number of cancer patients from the weaker sex quickly menajak / Corbis

Women were more vulnerable to cancer. Therefore, the air should begin to implement a healthy lifestyle with healthy food consumption as well.

We have cancer is one cause of death in the world. World Health Organization (WHO) states, in the year 2015, an estimated 9 million people who died of cancer in 2030 and there are an estimated 11.4 million cancer deaths.

The number of deaths from cancer is greater than the total number of deaths due to TB, HIV, and malaria. Therefore, cancer can happen to any and all parts of the body and all the people although more at the age above 40 years.

WHO reveals an increase in the number of cancer patients every year to reach 6.25 million people and two-thirds come from developing countries including Indonesia. In Indonesia, there are currently estimated new cancer 1: 1000 population per year.

According to data from the Ministry of Health (MOH), cancer is the leading cause of death in Indonesia and 5 increased significantly. Ironically, in developing countries, 80-90 percent usually can not be cured because the patient came in who had advanced stages.

Indeed, until now there has been no accurate data on cancer in Indonesia. However, it is known from the summary of Pathology Center for Indonesia, from 10 types of cancer most common in Indonesia, cervical cancer (cervical) and breast cancer occupies the highest numbers. This fact proves class women are most at risk for cancer than men.

Chairman II Indonesia Cancer Foundation (YKI) Dr. MHA said Melissa Luwia not be known for sure why women are more susceptible to cancer. “From the statistical data are expressed like that. It is not known exactly why women are the most suffering from cancer than men, “he said.

Unhealthy lifestyles, smoking, and eating fatty foods, Melissa says, is the factor most trigger cancer. Nowadays the women tend to do things that harm health. Not surprisingly, the number of cancer patients from the rapidly rising air.

“It’s not all of the lifestyle. However, cancer usually adopt a lifestyle that is not good. For example cervical cancer because she had sex with many people. Breast cancer due to fatty foods. Lung cancer from smoking, “he said.

Melisa said, due to the high cancer rates in women, the early detection of cancer has become so important to suppress the death rate. The low awareness of reproductive health that finally brought women at risk of death. Not to mention the added position of women as “second person” in her family increasingly powerless to control health.

One of the cancer prevention efforts that can be done is by Smer Pap tests, to determine at an early stage of cervical cancer which until now still at the top causes of death among women in Indonesia.

Apart from Smer Pap tests regularly, cervical cancer prevention in women, among them implement healthy lifestyle, balancing food, eat lots of fresh fruits and vegetables, avoid smoking or having contact with a man who was smoking, and maintaining a good sexual behavior. “As soon checked myself when encounter unusual disorder,” he said.

Known, cervical cancer can develop when abnormal cells in the cervix (the area connecting the uterus and vagina) began divide uncontrollably. Cervical cancer is caused 99 percent of human papilloma virus (HPV). In addition to always change of partners, several other factors that make a history of HPV infection is a young married at age less than 20 years, often suffer from sexually transmitted infections, smoking and mothers who gave birth to many children.

Meanwhile, the exact causes of breast cancer until now unknown. However, there are things or habits that have been known to increase one’s risk of breast cancer. Among women 35-49 years age group, have a history of breast cancer in close relatives and have a history of benign breast disease / tumors.

In addition, first menstruation at an early age, menopause late in life also potentially affected by this disease. This is because the body longer hormone exposure. Not married, not breastfeeding, infertility, their first child over 35 years, radiation, excessive alcohol consumption, high-fat diet, obesity, a long-term hormone therapy, also increases the risk of breast cancer.

To detect this cancer early, including easy. Women are encouraged to perform breast self-examination (Sana) regularly every month, several days after menstruation stops. Known, about one in ten women developed breast cancer potential. Meanwhile, in the case of male breast cancer is much less about 1 percent. During the year 2005, recorded 502,000 people died from breast cancer. High mortality is due to low coverage of early detection due to lack of public knowledge about breast cancer itself.

In addition to two types of cancer above, women are also vulnerable to lung cancer. It was caused by cigarettes. In fact, despite smoking less than men, women were more susceptible to the effects of lung damage due to substances that are carcinogens in a cigarette.

Conclusions are made based on research conducted on 700 patients of lung cancer recently. The researchers found, although the quantity of women smoke less than men, they tend to age was younger when diagnosed with lung cancer. Another study conducted by experts at Harvard University, United States and the University of Bergen in Norway for 950 men and women who suffer from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), diseases caused by cigarettes, found similar results.

Known, COPD patients are generally older women younger when they were diagnosed as having the disease, and they smoke less than men. “Women are more vulnerable to the effects of lung damage from smoking,” said Dr. Inga-Cecilie Soerheim, guest researcher at Harvard University who presented her research results in the annual meeting of the American Society’s Thoraric.

In conclusion, one of the cancer prevention efforts is to improve the quality of life and it can be started from home. Because of that true, it is necessary strived how knowledge about cancer was known in every household.

FROM time to time, the number of breast cancer patients in Indonesia continues to grow. Alarming, the last few years of breast cancer patients began to attack the young.

The myth that says that breast cancer is often attacked the woman who was aged over 30 years, seemed unbroken. The problem, now the age of breast cancer patients increasingly shifted to young women, aka the new kid gede (ABG).

Data collected Jakarta Breast Health Foundation says many people with breast cancer at relatively young ages. Even some young women the age of fourteen tumors in the breast. This is of course sad and disturbing.

“Last I handle the age of 15 years. That is the reality we experience problems, “said the Breast Health Foundation Chairman Dr Sutjipto SpB Jakarta (K) Onk the signing of Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with a working partner Ristra Group at the House of Ristra, Radio Dalam, Jakarta.

Sutjipto revealed, once when he was new to the profession of medicine through, about 40 years ago, breast cancer is still dominated by women aged over 35 years. Growing years, the age of the patient in fact continued to decline.

“Starting last five years, cases under 25 years of growing,” he said.

This fact, he’s bright, it is not known because the exact cause of cancer-related multifaktor.

But the most important one, firmly Sutjipto, is related to lifestyle (lifestyle) a person, especially eating unhealthy foods (junk food), smoking, alcohol or it could be because of late marriage.

“Today many women are more interested in a career so late to get married. It is also a risk factor because they could be giving birth at the age of 35 years and over, “said Sutjipto is also in the oncologists Dharmais Cancer Hospital of Jakarta.

Sutjipto argued, the high number of breast cancer patients in Indonesia is also due to low awareness of women for early detection of breast cancer screening by breast or mammography equipment called.

“There is more to know check Pap smears to prevent cervical cancer than amografi,” he said.

In other countries, he said, the effort of early detection has become a national program. In Japan for example, when the population of women 40 years of age, he automatically get the voucher from the government to run the mammography at the hospital. While most countries in Europe, the company has insurance cover routine checkup, mammography in health claims.

“The symptoms of breast cancer did not exist. Approximately 60% of patients with breast cancer in Indonesia only learned the disease had entered the advanced stage. Well, if early detection is, of course, can prevent the disease getting worse, “said Sutjipto.

Related to the number of sufferers in Indonesia, the light Sutjipto, until now not known for sure. There, only the data per hospital. Dharmais Cancer Hospital in Jakarta for example, on average every month comes around 30-50 new patients. Compared to the world, is increasing the number of sufferers in the country is almost the same.

However, of concern in Indonesia and in other developing countries, survival (survival rate) they belong to a new low since receiving medical actions when already in an advanced stage.

“If the developed countries still had handled early stages, so the survival rate was much better,” he explained.

Therefore, the government expects Sutjipto more attention to this problem. Not only the government, he also urged the private sectors and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) are concerned about this to move with resolve this issue.

Breast Health Foundation, including Jakarta, which has long been acting to disseminate and conduct outreach to all women in Indonesia, especially Jakarta residents to always be careful and do a routine early detection of breast cancer.

“Although not feel any symptoms, mammography tests were mandatory for women over the age of 35 years. We own the Breast Health Foundation Jakarta has had a car mammography units. So who want breast check-ups, do not need to go to the hospital again, “added Sutjipto.

Founder of the House of Ristra Dr. Tranggono SpKK Iswari Retno said it continues to work with various parties in an effort to educate the general public related to women’s health issues, particularly breast cancer, considering the problem of cancer has become a scourge that must be scary handled properly.

Relations with skin health, said Retno, because of our natural environment is one of the triggers incidence of cancer, including sun too stinging, and dirty air from an unhealthy environment.

And if these particles into the skin, would cause a negative reaction in the cell in the body, which eventually can cause cancer. That, he added, the importance of products to protect skin Ristra time every day activities outside the home.

“Cosmetic products that we produce in Ristra based on the concept of medical health. For breast cancer patients, we also have a post therapy products. For example products for hair loss and skin burns due to chemotherapy clinically proven, “he explained.

Minister of Women Empowerment and Child Protection (State Minister of PP & PA) Linda Amalia Sari Gumelar as the founder of Breast Health Foundation, Jakarta, demanding that women should routinely check mammography for breast cancer may be detected early, especially in remote areas of health services still limited.

“Attention of the government itself will be increased. However, the most important is the participation of public and private sectors to continue to socialize the importance of early detection of breast cancer. Can also do activities Realize (check your own breasts) at home, “he said.

CANCER of the cervix or cervical cancer is always a frightening specter for women. Various risk factors could be sentenced to a disease that was recorded as the number one killer for womankind in Indonesia has been much revealed. One of them, masturbation.

But unfortunately, the information related to cervical cancer have not been able to reach all people, especially women. In fact, all women at risk of cancer that attacks the organs of their intimacy.

Dr. Laila Nuranna DR SpOG (K), from Mengunkusumo Cipto Hospital (RSCM) explained, the risk of contracting cervical cancer increases with age, especially in the peak age of 30 to 50 years.

The cause of cervical cancer is infection or reinfection with HPV (human papillomavirus). In Indonesia, every hour there are one to two patients who died of cervical cancer. And as much as 99.7 percent of cervical cancers caused by HPV oncogenic or cancer-causing.

How to transmission? It’s not just the style of unhealthy living alone, but other possible causes cervical cancer is the outbreak of sex behavior.

“This topic should really be careful. But it can not be denied that the disease was sexually transmitted ping pong phenomenon, can also cause cervical cancer,” explained Dr. Laila to Legal when found in the “Woman’s Health Expo & Bazaar 2010″ at the Castle Great Sahid Jaya Hotel, some time ago.

Free sexual relationship, is not the only cause of HPV into the crown of women. However, masturbation activity often conducted in person or by her partner can also lead to the entry of HPV into the vagina.

“The hallmark of HPV that, he was able to cling skin to skin contact. Possibly also when masturbating with dirty hands conditions,” said Dr. Laila.
