Jakarta (ANTARA) - Member of the Indonesian Parliament, Bambang\nSoesatyo, believes that radiogenomics can assist both the public and\nmedical professionals in detecting and preventing diseases at an earlier\nstage.<\/p>\n
\u201cRadiogenomics presents a new perspective in the medical world by\nprioritising prevention. We are no longer waiting for people to get\nsick, but rather starting to identify risks early on with a more\ncomprehensive, data-driven approach,\u201d said the man, who is\naffectionately known as Bamsoet, in an official press release received\nin Jakarta, Friday.<\/p>\n
This statement also reflects Bamsoet\u2019s support for the declaration of\nthe radiogenomics initiative, which was initiated by Rhemedi Medical\nServices, as a concrete step towards transforming the national\nhealthcare system into a more predictive and data-driven model.<\/p>\n
Based on data from the World Health Organization (WHO) that Bamsoet\nhas, it is recorded that 70 per cent of deaths are caused by\nnon-communicable diseases such as cancer, diabetes, and heart\ndisease.<\/p>\n
These various diseases should be curable by taking preventive\nmeasures early on.<\/p>\n
However, in Indonesia, according to Bamsoet, the level of screening\nis still relatively low. The Ministry of Health recorded that the\ncoverage of early detection of breast cancer through SADANIS and\nmammography was still below 30 per cent in 2025.<\/p>\n
This condition is what makes innovations like radiogenomics very much\nneeded to help medical staff in handling diseases.<\/p>\n
Bamsoet continued, the radiogenomics development initiative by\nDr.\u00a0Rheza Maulana Syahputra, presents an integration between medical\nimaging and the patient\u2019s DNA profile.<\/p>\n
This technology, he added, allows medical personnel to identify the\nrisk of cancer or organ abnormalities from a very early stage, even\nbefore symptoms appear.<\/p>\n
In practice, certain patterns in mammography results can be linked to\nspecific gene mutations that increase the risk of cancer. Thus, the\npotential for disease can be detected and prevention can be carried out\nmore quickly and more precisely.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith this technology, doctors can see the potential for disease even\nbefore symptoms appear. So, interventions can be carried out more\nquickly and more precisely,\u201d said Bamsoet.<\/p>\n
He added that the declaration of the radiogenomics initiative was\nrealised directly through integrated health service activities held at\nthe MPR RI on 11 May 2026, coinciding with the commemoration of Kartini\nDay.<\/p>\n
In one day, as many as 200 people participated in health\nexaminations, consisting of approximately 130 breast examinations and 70\nabdominal examinations using ultrasound.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe see very high public enthusiasm. This is clear evidence that the\nneed for early detection is urgent and must be answered with easily\naccessible and technology-based services,\u201d said Bamsoet.<\/p>\n
Bamsoet hopes that this method can be adopted as soon as possible by\nall health facilities in Indonesia so that the wider community can carry\nout examinations and prevention from an early age.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/bamsoet-radiogenomics-can-help-with-early-disease-prevention-1780568436", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
