<ns3:p>Background Cervical cancer poses a significant public health challenge, particularly in low and middle-income countries. Despite advancements treatment, the disease remains leading cause of cancer-related deaths among women globally. Chemoradiation utilizing cisplatin has been cornerstone therapy for locally advanced cervical cancer. Prognostic biomarkers, including hematological parameters, have emerged as valuable tools guiding treatment decisions predicting outcomes. Methodology...
<ns4:p>Background/Aim To examine the clinical correlation of p16 expression with Epithelial–Mesenchymal Transition (EMT) markers and lymphatic invasion in OPSCC patients terms status at presentation, subsequent progression, survival. Methods Tissue blocks biopsy-proven Oropharyngeal Squamous Cell Carcinoma were subjected to Immunohistochemistry (IHC) for evaluating p16, e-cadherin, vimentin podoplanin. This pattern was correlated demographic details, treatment response survival patterns....
A BSTRACT Introduction: In breast cancer care, chemotherapy is an important modality, and this study evaluated the cost-minimization analysis (CMA) considering price of most least expensive branded drugs by taking body surface area (BSA) relevant to Indian context. Objectives: The objective was conduct CMA comparing costliest cheapest cytotoxic used treat in India focusing on direct comparison cost. Materials Methods: current index medical stores identify brand-name medications. Based this,...
Abstract Background: Antimicrobial medications, which are critical for the treatment of infectious diseases, can be prohibitively expensive, especially marginalized population. The objective present research was to determine cost-minimization analysis (CMA) by comparing Jan Aushadhi (JA) pharmaceuticals marketed in India with most expensive and least branded alternatives. Materials Methods: Prices branded, JA medications were obtained from designated reference sites. cost difference (CD),...
<ns3:p>Background Head and neck cancer (HNCs) is a major health issue worldwide, India has contributed to approximately 2.4 lakh new cases in 2022. Definitive chemoradiation the standard treatment for locally advanced disease but carries risk of lower respiratory tract infections (LRTI) that add morbidity, hospitalization, cost, possible delay treatment. The increasing incidence antimicrobial resistance (AMR) also management burden. This study aimed assess microbiological profiles patterns...

There has been growing interest in the use of epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitors various cancers. The study was conducted to evaluate efficacy and safety gefitinib as a monotherapy patients with recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer. Patients carcinoma who experienced locoregional recurrence distant metastases either at presentation after definitive combined chemoradiotherapy postoperative radiotherapy were enrolled. Gefitinib administered orally dose 250 mg/d eligible patients....

Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) analysis was consistent aseptic meningitis. She found to have significant urinary retention secondary atonic bladder. MRI the brain spine were normal CSF-PCR (polymerase chain reaction) positive for HSV-2. Urinary in context CSF pleocytosis is known as Meningitis Retention Syndrome (MRS). MRS rare but important...
Abstract Background/Purpose of the Study The costs chemotherapy drugs which are vital in treatment lung cancer can be exorbitant. current study was undertaken to ascertain cost minimization analysis by comparing costliest and cheapest branded with Jan Aushadhi (JA) marketed India. Methods costliest, branded, JA were collected from designated reference sites. difference, ratio, percentage variation calculated as per guidelines. Results results suggest that much cheaper than when used regimens...
The cancer burden is expected to reach 20 million new cases annually in low and middle-income countries (LMICs) by 2025. Few estimates suggest that thyroid could become the third most common diagnosed women 2019. Health care services need gear up provide close clinical follow-up for patients especially LMICs where there already a shortage of healthcare personnel. We conducted this study assess effect remote monitoring using tele-follow on compliance, satisfaction economic benefit....
To assess and compare the local control toxicities between HDR Intracavitary Brachytherapy with 7.5 Gy 9 per fraction after EBRT in treatment of carcinoma cervix.A total 180 patients were randomly assigned to 2 arms. Arm A received intracavitary brachytherapy a dose fraction, 1 week for 3 fractions B fractions. Patients evaluated on follow up assessment toxicities.The median was 12 months (6-18 months). In arm 89% patient had complete response 11% recurrence or metastasis. 93% 7% Grade 2/3...
Abstract Oncology has a range of ethical issues that are difficult to address and breaking the bad news is probably most important common across world. Conventionally, been exclusively used in situation where definitive diagnosis cancer be conveyed patient. On practical note, for treating doctor, not restricted only confirmation its prognosis at initial but also includes conveying futility curative treatment, changing from palliative recurrence/metastasis posttreatment, end life care,...

: Radiotherapy for head and neck cancer (HNC) is associated with a dose-limiting side effect known as radiation-induced oral mucositis (RIOM), which severely diminishes the quality of life patients. The best part that this adverse has identified risk factors, enabling implementation preventative medication to delay/mitigate ill effects, colonization opportunistic microbes, infection. Clinically, several effective strategies have been developed prevent severe RIOM. However, there are limited...
Abstract Ever since the outbreak of COVID-19, global health care systems are overwhelmed to cope up with rapidly evolving disease paradigm through implementation action plans at societal and medical domains. As per directives from World Health Organization learned professional organizations, international governments states have formulated different protocols prevent spread, for diagnosis treatment associated comorbidities, educate citizens during this crisis phase. services across world...
