Abstrak
Penelitian epidemiologik dengan cara kasus kontrol pacla 300 kasus kanker payudara di Rumah Sakit Dr Cipto Mangunkusumo,
telah clilakukan pada tahun 1989-1991. Dengan menggunakan klasifikasi yang dianjurkan oleh Japanese Breast Cancer Society, gambaran histopatologik kanker payuclara menunjukkan bahwa dari tipe karsinoma duktus invasif, jenis skirus ditemukan pada 147 kasus
(49VoI jenis padat tubuler pada 79 kasus (26.33Vo) danjenis papiLotubuler pada 39 kasus (t3Vo). Sednng dengan menggrmakan klasifikasi WHO ( 1981 ), ditemukan 265 kasus (88.337o) invasif duktus karsinoma, karsinoma invasif lobuler pada 7 kasus (2.337o), karsinoma
moduler pada 17 kasus (5.68Vo), karsinoma adenoid kistik pada I kasus (0.33Vo), penyakit Paget pada puting 2 kasus (0.67Vo) dan 4

kasus pada karsinoma noninvasif adalah karsinoma duktal insitu. Analisa terhadap faktor-faktor risiko yang bermakna pada kanker
payudara wanita Indonesia menuniukkrtn bahwa faktor-faktor: aktivitas seksuaL dini, tinggal di daerah perkotaan, traluna payudara,
obesitas (kegemukan), haid pertama,/menarche yang terlambat, siklus haid yang tidak teratut; menopause, konsumsi makanan berlemak
dan yang mengandung santan dapat meningkatkan risiko. Juga telah dianalisa hubungan antara faktor-faktor risiko yang bermakna
tersebut dengan jenis histopatologik. Hasilnya menunjukkan bahwa Konsumsi makanan bersantan meningkatkan kemungkinan jenis
karsinoma duktus invasif. Pengaruh tersebut berhubungan dengan ketiga subtipe histologik, yaitu papiler tubule4 solid tubuler clan
skirus. Konsumsi minuman clengan santan/air kelapa dan sayuran segar menurunkan kemungkinan jenis tersebut, dengan sifat tklak
bergantung kepada subtipe histoLo gik.

Abstract
Case control epidemiological study of 300 breast cancer casès from Dr Cipto Mangunkusumo HospitaL has been performed in
1989-1991. By applying the Japanese Breast Cancer Society classification, the histopathological pafiern ofbreast cancer showed that
from the invasive ductal carcinoma type, scirrhous type was found in 147 cases (49Vo), solid-tubular type in 79 cases (26.33Vo) and
papilotubular type in 39 cases (I3Vo). According to WHO classification (1951); they were diagnosed as: invasive ductal carcinoma in
265 cases (88.33Vo), invasive lobular carcinoma in 7 cases (2.33Vo), medullary carcinoma in I7 cases (5.68Eo), adenoid cystic carcinoma

carcinoma in situ. Analysis of the signfficant riskfactors among the Indonesian female breast cancer revealed that the
following factors:
living at urban area, young sexual activity, trauma, obesity, late menarche, irregular cycle, menopause,
fafiy diet and coconut milk containing food consu'mptiolx increased the risk. Relationship of the riskfactors to histopathological types has been stastistically analyzed.
The resubs showed that increased possibility to have the invasive ductal carcinoma was related to consumption of coconut milk containing
food. The effect was relatecl to the three histological subtypes, namely: papillary tubuLar, solid tubular arul scirrhous types. Coconut milk
drinks andfreshvegetables showed decreasing effect, whichwas irrespective to subtypes.

INTRODUCTION
Breast cancers have a large variation of histological
Iype.t'z And the WHO classification was generally
accepted to be used as a standard criterion on histological typing of whole body tumors. According to
the WHO histological typing of breast cancer,3 there
are 3 main groups of breast cancer: noninvasive car-

cinoma (DCIS, LCIS), invasive carcinoma (11 variants, inclusive IDC-, IlC-papillary carcinoma and
the others/special type carcinoma as usually mention
in some modification of breast cancer classification),

Paget's disease of the nipple. In 1986, the Japanese
Breast Cancer Society suggested to observe more
carefully on the most common invasive breast carci
noma: IDC. As the result of their study, there are 3

IDC which were easily identified by
ic examination, namely: Papilotubu-

subtypes

Age influences on some breast cancer types in relation to prognostic decision. For example: lobular carular c
disease, usually

ma on reproduc-

der age in men,
Junevile secretory carcinoma on childhood, mucinous carcinoma among the 5th decade, medullary carcinoma in the lower decade. In general, it was known
that some breast cancer types have a specific biologic
behavior: indolent, circumscribe or aggressive, dif-

fuse/massive invasive.5-12

Some difference on histological type might be found
among different races. In comparative study between
Japanese and American female breast cancer, it was
revealed that lobular carcinoma among Japanese females was significantly lower than that among
American females. The Japanese breast cancer cases
had better survival compared to the American cases.5

The distribution according to tumor location showed
that tumors were mostly located at the left breast I72
cases (57.33Vo), followed by right breast lI7 (39Eo)
and 11 cases (3.67Vo) were bilateral.

The epidemiological study on the 300 cases of breast
cancer revealed several significant risk factors, listed
as urbaner, young first sexual contact, trauma, obe-

sity, late menarche, irregular cycle, coconut milk
food, no vegetable, and as significant at lVo menotypes, 3
