Cancer Types

e13629 Background: Cancer in adolescents and young adults (AYAOs) refers to patients diagnosed with a malignancy between 16 and 39 years old. This is thought to be 5% in the Western population. The exact incidence and distribution in Asia is uncertain although the WHO estimated 650 000 AYAs to be newly diagnosed in this part of the world in 2018. There is limited data on the incidence and epidemiology on AYAs in Asia, but it is known from the western literature that the distribution of cancer types, clinico-pathological features and outcomes in this population is very different. We therefore, sought to evaluate the pattern of cancer types among the different age groups of the AYA population seen in a high-volume single Asian tertiary cancer centre. Methods: We undertook a retrospective observational study of all patients diagnosed with cancer between 16 and 39 years old who presented to the National Cancer Centre Singapore (NCCS) from 1 January 2015 to 31 December 2019. Results: A total of 2583 cases was observed during the 5-year period. The male: female ratio was 1:1.75. The majority of the patients were between of 35-39 years (y) ( n= 1128, 44.0%). The most common cancer across the different age groups in females were sarcoma (16-19 y), hematologic malignancies (20-24 y) and breast cancer (25-29 y, 30-34 y and 35-39 y). The most common cancer across the different age groups in males were hematologic malignancies (16-19 y), germ cell tumours (20-24 y), germ cell tumours, hematologic malignancies and sarcoma (25-29 y), hematologic malignancies (30-34 y) and colorectal cancers (35-39 y). The majority of the patients presented were localized disease (38.3%), while 19.4% presented with lymphatic involvement. Amongst 507 (19.6%) patients presenting with metastatic disease, 126 patients have deceased. Conclusions: This population has unique characteristics compared to their geriatric and pediatric counterparts. With an increased incidence and expected longer survivals, more efforts are needed to better understand the clinicopathological features of the AYA population. This will enable us to better survival rates and long-term treatment outcomes.

The prevalence of allergies is increasing from year to year due to the modern lifestyle in society. The incidence of allergies was influenced by several factors, such as genetics, age, sex, diet, food type, and also environmental factors. Determination of IgE levels in adolescents and young adults is important because the incidence of allergy is highly reported in adolescents and young adults. This study was conducted to determine IgE levels in allergies among university students in Universitas Muhammadiyah Purwokerto. This observational study was conducted among diploma students of Medical Laboratory Technology, Universitas Muhammadiyah Purwokerto. The data of characteristic subjects were collected by a self-administered questionnaire whereas data of IgE levels were collected by serum samples and measured by ELISA. A total of 23 students (4.35 % male and 95.65% female) were included. Seafood allergy (25%) were the commonest allergy among the students. Only 9% of subjects have combination allergies. The highest of IgE levels were 365 IU/mL.

The Relationship

Abstract.Narcissism is seen as a multidimensional construct that consists of two manifestations: grandiose and vulnerable narcissism. In order to define these two manifestations, their relationship to personality factors has increasingly become of interest. However, so far no studies have considered the relationship between different phenotypes of narcissism and personality factors in adolescents. Method: In a cross-sectional study, we examine a group of adolescents (n = 98; average age 16.77 years; 23.5 % female) with regard to the relationship between Big Five personality factors and pathological narcissism using self-report instruments. This group is compared to a group of young adults (n = 38; average age 19.69 years; 25.6 % female). Results: Grandiose narcissism is primarily related to low Agreeableness and Extraversion, vulnerable narcissism to Neuroticism. We do not find differences between adolescents and young adults concerning the relationship between grandiose and vulnerable narcissism and personality traits. Discussion: Vulnerable and grandiose narcissism can be well differentiated in adolescents, and the pattern does not show substantial differences compared to young adults.

Epidemiological Trends

Background: Notwithstanding the epidemiological studies indicating an increased risk of attempted suicide among adolescents and young adults, there is a scarcity of international studies that examine long-term epidemiological trends in rates and characteristics of this vulnerable group. Aims: This article describes the results of a 9-year monitoring study of suicide attempts in adolescents and young adults referred to the Accident and Emergency Department of the Gent University Hospital (Belgium). Methods: Between January 1996 and December 2004, trends, sociodemographic, and methodrelated characteristics of suicide attempts were assessed by a psychiatrist on data sheets. Results: Attempted suicide rates declined from 1996 to 2001 and then rose until 2004, but did not exceed previous rates. During the 9 years of monitoring, there was a preponderance of female suicide attempters, except for 1997. Rates of attempts and of fatal suicide were negatively correlated. Significantly more males than females deliberately injured themselves. Younger attempters, especially females, significantly more often poisoned themselves with analgesics. In nearly one in five attempts, alcohol was used in combination with other methods, and alcohol intake was more commonly observed in older suicide attempters. Nearly half of the adolescents were identified as repeaters. Conclusions: The results of this study warrant further monitoring of trends and characteristics of young suicide attempters.

Abstract. One of the most common personality disorders among adolescents and young adults is the Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). The objective of current study was to assess three questionnaires that can reliably screen for BPD in adolescents and young adults (N = 53): the McLean Screening Instrument for BPD (MSI-BPD; Zanarini et al., 2003 ), the Personality Diagnostic Questionnaire 4th edition – BPD scale (PDQ-4 BPD; Hyler, 1994 ), and the SCID-II Patient Questionnaire – BPD scale (SCID-II-PQ BPD). The nine criteria of BPD according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-IV (DSM-IV; APA, 1994 ) were measured with the Structural Clinical Interview for DSM-IV Axis II disorders – BPD scale (SCID-II; First, Spitzer, Gibbon, Williams, & Benjamin, 1995 ). Correlations between the questionnaires and the SCID-II were calculated. In addition, the sensitivity and specificity of the questionnaires were tested. All instruments predicted the BPD diagnosis equally well.
