Background: Breast cancer education could be a non-formal education to achieve a proper understanding about early detection of breast cancer. Optimal results need right methods and instruments. Recently, technology development can be implemented to support the non-formal education process. The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness between print and audiovisual media in health education on prevention and early detection of breast cancer. Methods: It was a quasi-experimental study, comparing two intervention and one control groups, which was carried out from August to November 2013. The population was senior high school students in Jatinangor subdistrict West Java, Indonesia. The sample was taken by cluster sampling method; each group consisted of 120 female students. Students from Sekolah Menengah Atas Negeri Jatinangor were given printed media, students from Sekolah Menengah Kejuruan Padjadjaran were given audiovisual media and students from Pesantren Al Ma'soem as control group were not given any intervention. The knowledge of respondents was measured with pre-test and post-test questioner. Mean scores of knowledge were further analyzed by paired and independent t-test. Results: The average of pre-test between intervention and control groups were similar (8.125, 8.725 and 8.450, respectively). The result showed that the average scores of post-test increased compared to pre-test both in the print and audiovisual media group (p=0.001). Conclusions: Print and audiovisual media can increase the knowledge of respondents on prevention and early detection of breast cancer. However, audiovisual media is more effective as a tool for health education especially among teenagers.
Neuroendocrine carcinoma (NEC) is a type of malignancy that affects the nerve and endocrine systems and secrete neuropeptides into the bloodstream. Because there are significant treatment differences between primary NEC of the head and neck and typical squamous cell carcinoma, it is critical to distinguish between the two types of cancer. Primary NEC of the head and neck is rare cancer that should be distinguished from typical squamous cell carcinoma. Therefore, this study aimed to present the characteristic of head and neck neuroendocrine carcinomas at Hasan Sadikin General Hospital Bandung for 2016 to 2020. This is a descriptive retrospective study with head and necks neuroendocrine tumor patients at Hasan Sadikin General Hospital Bandung from 2016 to 2020. Demographic, clinical, and histopathological characteristics were obtained through the medical record data of patients. Samples were taken through consecutive sampling methods.

Head and neck neuroendocrine carcinomas have distinct characteristics and histopathological entities. Positive immunohistochemistry assay was significant findings to establish the diagnosis
