There is a lack of published literature on systemic therapeutic options in cisplatin-ineligible patients with locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (LAHNSCC) undergoing chemoradiation. Docetaxel was assessed as radiosensitizer this situation.This randomized phase II/III study. Adult (age ≥ 18 years) LAHNSCC planned for chemoradiation an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status 0-2 who were randomly assigned 1:1 to either radiation alone or concurrent docetaxel...
Regimens for palliation in patients with head and neck cancer recommended by the US National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) have low applicability (less than 1-3%) low-income middle-income countries (LMICs) because of their cost. In a previous phase 2 study, who received metronomic chemotherapy had better outcomes when compared those intravenous cisplatin, which is commonly used as standard care LMICs. We aimed to do 3 study substantiate these findings.We did an open-label,...
Context: Radiotherapy techniques have improved over years but also raised concerns subsequent acute and late effects. One such complication, dysphagia, has led to much interest optimization in treatment delivery. Aims: The aim of this study was compare radiation dose dysphagia aspiration related structures (DARS) intensity modulated therapy (IMRT) three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3DCRT), assess its relation post-treatment swallowing status, patients carcinoma the anterior two thirds...
Triple negative Breast tumor (TNBC) is an aggressive with sparse data worldwide.We analyzed non-metastatic TNBC from 2013 to 2019 for demographics, practice patterns, and survival by the Kaplan Meir method. Prognostic factors OS DFS were evaluated using Cox Proportional Hazard model estimator univariate multivariable analysis after checking collinearity among variables.There 1297 patients median age of 38 years; 41 (33.3%) 123 tested BRCA-positives. Among these 593 (45.7%) had stage III...
Prolonged infusion of low dose gemcitabine (PLDG) in combination with platinum has shown promising activity terms improved response rate and progression free survival (PFS); especially squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Hence, we conducted a phase 3 randomized non-inferiority study the primary objective comparing overall (OS) between PLDG standard platinum.Adult subjects (age ≥ 18 years), stages IIIB-IV, NSCLC (squamous) ECOG performance status ≤ 2 were 1:1 into either carboplatin...
Nasogastric intubation is a common procedure for enteral nutritional support in medical practice. Random spontaneous true knot formation the tube rarely encountered and cause of unanticipated trauma. This case diagnosed with fluoroscopy managed without untoward
Background There are limited data on the role of chemotherapy in patients with small cell lung cancer (SCLC) and poor performance status (PS).Methods This was a retrospective analysis prospective observational study SCLC PS 3 or 4. We recorded initial therapy, symptom improvement, response rate, overall survival (OS), impact various factors OS.Results From June 2010 to August 2019, we enrolled 234 patients; 185 (79%) 49 (21%) Initial therapy best supportive care (BSC) (21%), standard full...
Older adults with cancer require specialized care that is different from, and independent of routine oncologic care. In a country like India, the advances in medical science, better access to healthcare, improved infrastructure, percentage ageing population increasing at rapid pace. Hence, there proportional rise cases older population. A report released by United Nations Population Fund HelpAge India suggests number persons expected grow 173 million 2026.[1] States human development indexes...
Since the 1980's, with advent of MVAC (methotrexate, cisplatin, vinblastine, adriamycin) role chemotherapy for bladder cancer was defined. then, multiple regimens have been used and field has reached a therapeutic plateau. In last decade, there recent updates in systemic options cancer. Early stage disease is managed cystectomy. The neoadjuvant well established trimodality approach preservation widely being practiced worldwide. With immunotherapy, survival pattern changed patients metastatic...
Abstract Background There is paucity of data regarding clinical characteristics, laboratory parameters and outcomes coronavirus disease (COVID‐19) in cancer versus non‐cancer patients, particularly from India. Materials Methods This was an observational, single‐centre, retrospective analysis patients with laboratory‐confirmed COVID‐19 hospitalised our institution between 22 May 2020 1 December 2020. We compared baseline (overall mortality, time to discharge) patients. Results A total 200...
<h3>Introduction/Background</h3> Gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN) is a rare disease with myriad presentations. The long-term outcomes of these patients were studied. <h3>Methodology</h3> This was single institution retrospective study in tertiary care cancer centre India All diagnosed GTN from January 2009 to December 2014 evaluated. Data retrieved case files and electronic medical records. <h3>Results</h3> Total 139 median age presentation 27 years (range 18–54 years). β HCG 53726...
I read with great interest the article, "Prevalence and factors associated frailty among older Indian adults cancer: A single-center cross-sectional analytical study from a geriatric oncology clinic in India" by Rao et al., published Cancer, Research, Statistics Treatment journal.[1] Frailty is an ambiguous term that has been used to describe ageing-associated vulnerability. In last two decades, this concept of crystallized into meaningful clinical definition allows physicians identify...
Breast cancer tissue is sensitive to hypofractionation. This an analysis of patients treated with hypofractionated protocols since 2009, at our tertiary center.Details breast adjuvant external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) from January 2009 December 2014 were retrieved and analyzed.One thousand seven hundred eighty received EBRT during this period. Three eight offered schedule. One eighty-eight had modified radical mastectomy (MRM) 120 conservation surgery (BCS). Dose was 40 Gy in 15...
