Lymph node metastasis is the most important prognostic factor in patients with carcinoma of penis. In this article, we have reviewed outcome pathologic node-positive penis after groin dissection performed at Cancer Institute (WIA) between 1987 and 1998.The case records all who underwent for 1998 were analyzed.Between 1998, 128 dissections (WIA), Chennai. Out them, 102 had disease. The 5-year overall survival (OS) these was 51.1%. Patients only to inguinal nodes a OS 64.6% whereas none pelvic...
Cancer remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality globally, with India experiencing significant cancer burden. Effective population-based screening is crucial for early detection reduction cancer-related deaths. This study aims to develop mobile application-based Screening Surveillance System (CSMS) enhance the efficiency effectiveness by community health workers (CHWs). An applied research approach was employed, integrating traditional procedures newly developed application system....
Abstract Quality attributes in health care setting include safety, effectiveness, patient centeredness, timeliness, efficiency, and equity. of outcomes depend not only on the clinical interactions between clinicians patients but also effective alignment integration team efforts, logistics, processes. The National Cancer Grid (NCG), with its mandate to facilitate promote quality standards across India, facilitated improvement (QI) training as a key initiative order develop competencies within...
PURPOSE Virtual tumor board (VTB) via videoconference facility involving multiple specialists in the decision making for various tumors is well accepted, especially high-income countries. Information on virtual boards head and neck cancers from low- middle-income countries sparse. In this study, we have audited findings of National Cancer Grid VTBs performed cancers. METHODS All patients discussed at our center between December 2016 February 2022 were included study. Details such as type...
Cancer patients frequently experience malnutrition. and cancer therapy effects nutritional status through alterations in the metabolic system reduction food intake. In present study, fifty seven were selected as subjects from oncology ward of Cachar Hospital Research Centre, Silchar, India. Evaluation during treatment was carried out by scored Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment (PG-SGA). The findings PG-SGA showed that 15.8% (9) well nourished, 31.6% (18) moderately or suspected...
Background: Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is a common cancer in the north east of India. The present study concerned prevalence human papilloma virus (HPV) ESCC eastern India and its impact on response to chemotherapy. Materials Methods: p16 expression, surrogate marker for HPV infection was assessed 101 pre-treatment biopsies locally advanced ESCC, reported from comprehensive centre India, using immunohistochemistry. All patients received neo-adjuvant Response clinically...
Around 1.35 million people of worldwide suffer from breast cancer each year, whereas in India, 1 every 17 women develops the disease. Mutations Breast Cancer (BRCA1) gene account for majority breast/ovarian families. The purpose study was to provide a prevalence BRCA1 germline mutations North-East Indian population. In relation personal and family history with cancer, we found 6.25% 12.5% respectively. Three mutations, 185DelAG, 1014DelGT 3889DelAG, were observed our patients exons 2 11,...
The lower incidence of breast cancer in Asian populations where the intake animal products is than that Western has led some to suggest a vegetarian diet might reduce risk. Between 2011 and 2014 we conducted multicentre hospital based case—control study eight centres India. Eligible cases were women aged 30–70 years, with newly diagnosed invasive (ICD10 C50). Controls frequency matched by age region residence chosen from accompanying attendants patients or those general without cancer....
Wide local excision (WLE) of anorectal melanoma is associated with a high incidence recurrence. There paucity literature on adjuvant radiation in this malignancy.To identify the optimal method treatment melanoma.Retrospective study tertiary cancer centre.Records 63 patients who presented between 1980 and 2004 were reviewed.Of patients, 18 treated by either surgery or without radiation, alone. The remaining had advanced disease offered only symptomatic treatment. median overall survival stage...
Tumor suppressor p53 is a critical player in the fight against cancer as it controls cell cycle check point, apoptotic pathways and genomic stability. It known to be most frequently mutated gene wide variety of human cancers. Single-nucleotide polymorphism at codon72 leading substitution proline (Pro) place arginine (Arg) has been identified risk factor for development many cancers, including nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). However, association this with NPC across published literature shown...
Sir, Cancer accounts for 7% of all deaths in India.[1] Breast, oral, and cervical cancer are the three most common cancers occurring India, which 34% India hence Government (GOI) has recently launched operational guidelines screening prevention cancers, to move from opportunistic organized, systematic country.[23] As per guidelines, risk assessment, screening, referral, follow-up will be done by existing health-care providers (HCPs) at health facilities services would provided men women aged...
Background: Low awareness of BC and its associated risk factors causes delays in diagnosis impacts survival. It is critical to communicate patients a format that they are easily able understand. Our study aim was develop easy-to-follow transmedia prototypes evaluate user preferences, alongside exploring factors. Methods: Prototypes tools for communication were developed with multidisciplinary input. A qualitative in-depth online interview undertaken using pre-defined topic guide (7), their...
Southeast Asia, especially India, is well known for the highest use of smokeless tobacco. These products are to induce oral squamous cell carcinoma. However, not all long-term tobacco-chewers develop In addition, germline variants play a crucial role in susceptibility, prognosis, development, and progression disease. prompted us study genetic susceptibility carcinoma among tobacco-chewers. Here, we presented retrospective on prolonged Northeast India identify potential protective or...
Human papillomavirus (HPV) has been recently associated with squamous cell carcinoma of upper aerodigestive tract (SCC UADT), but its possible role in promoting aberrant methylation these tumors largely remained unexplored. Herein, we investigated the association HPV tumor-related genes/loci consisting classical CpG Island Methylator Phenotype (CIMP) panel markers (p16, MLH1, MINT1, MINT2, and MINT31) other frequently methylated cancer-related genes (DAPK1, GSTP1, BRCA1, ECAD, RASSF1)...
Pelvic exenteration is an extensive surgical procedure performed for locally advanced cancers in the pelvis.The twenty-year experience with this at Cancer Institute has been analyzed morbidity, failure pattern and survival.The case records of all patients who had undergone pelvic between 1981 2000 (WIA), Chennai were retrieved from Tumor Registry analyzed.Forty-eight underwent Exenteration to institute. Twenty-nine them rectal cancer, 15 cervical 3 bladder 1 ovarian cancer. There 43 women 5...
Population based cancer screening was initiated in India 2016 owing to an increased burden of cancers.A feasibility health system study done by utilising community workers (CHWs) conduct the screening.The current is a qualitative elicit barriers and facilitators implementing population through CHWs.The conducted at three subcentres Dholai block Cachar district, Assam, Cancer Hospital Research Center, Silchar.The participants were CHWs, master trainer nurses women from community.Three focus...
A recent study[1] highlighted the feasibility of completing 70 Gy tumoricidal dose in an overall treatment time (OTT) 35 days, retaining 2 fraction size at 7 fractions/week, without weekend gaps. The external beam radiotherapy was delivered conventional treatments with parallel opposed fields old-generation model telecobalt machine (Theratron 780E), multi-leaf collimator and no automated modulation methods. salient features were, (a) skin mucosal sequelae were comparable for same total...
In 50 transhiatal esophageal mobilizations done from 1988 to 1998 at the Cancer Institute (W.I.A.) in Chennai, India, injuries trachea were detected on 3 occasions: 1 a woman with carcinoma of hypopharynx and 2 patients (1 male, female) squamous cell esophagus. The incidence tracheal during mobilization varies different series. This is usually membranous posterior wall trachea. When recognized table, repair rent must be carried out.
