Cervical cancer in Indonesia in 2018 ranks second in cancer in women in Indonesia with an incidence rate of 348.809 cases with a mortality rate of nearly 60% of the incidence, namely 207.210 deaths. Deaths from cervical cancer are projected to continue to increase and are estimated to reach 12 million deaths by 2030 if not treated properly. The incidence of cervical cancer in Indonesia is estimated to have 180.000 new cases per year and the death rate is thought to reach 75% in the first year. This death is mainly associated with the majority of newly diagnosed patients who are already at an advanced stage (70% of cases) and are already at the terminal stage at the time of diagnosis.

A B S T R A C TRenal pruritus (RP) is a condition or symptom that is often found in end-stagechronic kidney disease (CKD) undergoing hemodialysis (HD). The etiology of RP ismultifactorial, one of it due to inflammation mediated by interleukin 2 (IL-2). Studyon the correlation between serum level of IL-2 and the severity of RP is still limited.This study will analyze the correlation between serum level of IL-2 in patientsundergoing HD and the severity of RP. Our method is cross sectional design atHemodialysis Installation of Dr. Mohammad Hoesin Hospital. Serum level of IL-2examined by ELISA, the severity of RP assessed by a 5 dimensional pruritus scale.Inclusion criteria in this study included HD patients with RP ≥ 9, age ≥ 18 years andwilling to sign informed consent. The results from 28 male (59.6%) and 19 female(40.4%) are the mean serum level of IL-2 (pg/ml) is 0.424 ± 0.077. The mean RPseverity score is 18.98 ± 2.74. A strong positive correlation between serum level ofIL-2 and the severity of RP (r = 0.750, p = 0,000). Our conclusion is the increase ofserum level IL-2 in line with severity of RP.

HPV is a sexually transmitted virus, and high-risk HPV DNA was found in 99.7%of cervical cancer specimens. Within 12 to 24 months of exposure to the virus,90% of HPV infections disappear or become inactive. However, infection with high-risk strains of HPV persist which then increases the risk of progression to cervicalcancer. The detection of precancerous lesions consists of various methods,including pap smear (conventional or liquid-base cytology / LBC), visualinspection of acetic acid (IVA), visual inspection of lugoliodine (VILI), and HPV DNAtest (genotyping / hybrid capture).

WHO has created a global strategy to accelerate the elimination of cervical canceras a public health problem and a world burden. Cervical cancer is a disease thatcan be prevented and cured, as long as it is detected early and treated effectively.Cervical cancer is also a disease that reflects global injustice. The burden isgreatest in low- and middle-income countries, where access to public healthservices is limited and screening and treatment for the disease has not been widelyapplied. In 2018, nearly 90% of all deaths worldwide occurred in low and middleincome countries. Furthermore, the proportion of women with cervical cancer whodie from the disease is more than 60% in these countries, more than double thenumber in many high-income countries, which is only 30%.
