| Scientific title | Assessing demographic, social, clinical, and pathological determinants of breast cancer patients for delayed diagnosis, treatment, risks of relapse, and survival |
| Study acronym | INABrC |
| Study hypothesis | Demographic, social, clinical, and pathological determinants are associated with delayed diagnosis, risks of relapse, and survival of breast cancer diagnosed and treated according to the local and national guidelines in Indonesia |
| Ethics approval(s) | Approved 20/10/2017, Ethics Committee of the Faculty of Medicine, Public Health, and Nursing (Universitas Gadjah Mada Yogyakarta, Jl Farmako Sekip Utara - Gedung Radiopetro 2nd Floor, Yogyakarta 55281, India; +62-274-588688-17225; mhrec_fmugm@ugm.ac.id), ref: 1143/EC/2017 |
| Condition | Sociodemographic and clinicopathological determinants in breast cancer diagnosis and prognosis |
| Intervention | In this study, sociodemographic and clinicopathological variables will be collected and breast cancer patients will be followed-up for the locoregional recurrence, progression into distant metastasis, and survival. The patient will be interviewed using a questionnaire (15-20 minutes to complete) to assess risks of breast cancer and general awareness of cancer and cancer screening. The patient will then be followed-up for minimum of 6 months. Medical records will be extracted to collect information of clinical and pathological variable including the follow-up examination according to the local clinical guidances (every 6 months examination of sonography, x-ray, and yearly mammography). A blood sample is optional if the patient agrees to donate for additional examination, 5-10 ml of whole blood will be taken and stored at the biobank. |

| Primary outcome measure | Overall survival at the end of the study measured using patient records |
| Secondary outcome measures | 1. Sociodemographic backgrounds, occupation, income, general understanding of cancer, and hormonal factors such as menarche, menopause, BMI, contraception, number of children, breastfeeding practice, and usage of hormonal replacement therapy measured using a novel questionnaire at baseline 2. Cancer progression into distant metastasis, defined as presence of cancer spread to the lung, bone, liver, and brain indicating with clinical manifestations and were confirmed with imaging/pathology examination and/or radiologic changes confirmed with computed tomography imaging with contrast or whole-body bone scan every 6 months after baseline 3. Other clinical findings revealed by thorough clinical examination and imaging conducted at routine follow up visits retrieved from patient records |
