Single and multiple high-risk and low-risk Human Papillomavirus association with cervical lesions of 11,224 women in Jakarta.

Purpose: We sought to evaluate prevalence, age-adjusted distribution, and impact of single and multiple high- and low-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) subtypes and their associations with cervical lesions.

Methods: Data were extracted from 11,224 women who underwent routine screening of HPV genotyping and liquid-based cytology co-testing. Fifteen high-risk (HR) and six low-risk (LR) HPV types were genotyped.

Single-visit approach of cervical cancer screening: see and treat in Indonesia.

Background: We performed a cross-sectional study in Indonesia to evaluate the performance of a single-visit approach of cervical cancer screening, using visual inspection with acetic acid (VIA), histology and cryotherapy in low-resource settings.

Methods: Women having limited access to health-care facilities were screened by trained doctors using VIA. If the test was positive, biopsies were taken and when eligible, women were directly treated with cryotherapy.

Cervical cancer prevention program in Jakarta, Indonesia: See and Treat model in developing country.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to describe the implementation of single visit approach or See-visual inspection of the cervix with acetic acid (VIA)-and Treat-immediate cryotherapy in the VIA positive cases-model for the cervical cancer prevention in Jakarta, Indonesia.

Methods: An observational study in community setting for See and Treat program was conducted in Jakarta from 2007 until 2010. The program used a proactive and coordinative with VIA and cryotherapy (Proactive-VO) model with comprehensive approach that consists of five pillars 1) area preparation, 2) training, 3) awareness, 4) VIA and cryotherapy, and 5) referral.

Cytomorphological analysis of uterine cervical pap smears in relation to human papillomavirus infection in Indonesian women.

Objective: Cervical cancer is the number one cause of cancer-associated death in Indonesian women (30/100,000 annually), where no screening program is present. The Papanicolaou test is widely accepted as an effective screening method for cervical neoplasia detection and often shows certain cytological features associated with human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. Especially in developing countries, cytological investigation is still the method of choice as compared to the frequent use of HPV DNA testing in western countries.

Cancer epidemiology and control in peninsular and island South-East Asia - past, present and future.

Malaysia, Brunei, Singapore, Indonesia, East Timor and the Philippines constitute peninsular and island South-East Asia. For reasons of largely shared ethnicity, with Chinese elements added to the basic Austromalaysian populations, as well as geographical contiguity, they can be usefully grouped together for studies of chronic disease prevalence and underlying risk factors. The fact of problems are shared in common, particularly regarding increasing cancer rates, underlines the necessity for a coordinated approach to research and development of control measures.
