Breast cancer is a cancer with the highest mortality rate in Indonesia. Early detection can improve its prognosis. Matrix metalloproteinase-8 (MMP-8) in the active form has the potential to be an alternative biomarker for early detection of breast cancer. The presence of active MMP-8 can be detected from oral fluid, which is easier and noninvasive. This research aimed to know the association between active MMP-8 in the oral fluid and breast cancer incidence.
A case-control observational research was conducted with 44 breast cancer respondents from Dr. Sardjito General Hospital and 38 control respondents from the Faculty of Dentistry UGM and residents of Dusun Ngabean, Ngaglik, Sleman. Cancer determination is based on diagnosis by the attending doctor. Active MMP-8 in oral fluid was detected using PerioSafe®. Data were analyzed using the bivariate chi-square test.
Statistical analysis showed that no association was found between the existence of active MMP-8 in oral fluid with breast cancer incidence (p?0.05, OR: 2.923, 95% CI: 0.973-8.778). In conclusion, there was no association between active MMP-8 in oral fluid with breast cancer incidence.
