Angiofibromas of the head and neck usually arise from nasopharynx in adolescent boys. The term extranasopharyngeal angiofibroma (ENA) has been applied to vascular fibrous nodules that outside nasopharynx. Because clinical characteristics ENA are not consistent with those juvenile nasopharyngeal (JNA), diagnosis former can be challenging. Biopsy is ill advised a patient an because it might result brisk bleeding. A high index suspicion methodical evaluation essential establishing proper...

Cancer remains a major health problem in all communities worldwide. Rising healthcare costs associated with treating advanced cancers present significant economic challenge.

To achieve this objective, information generation through indigenous hospital data on unit cost in-patient cancer chemotherapy medical oncology became imperative and thus hallmark study.The...

ABSTRACT Background: The most frequently occurring painful and dose-limiting side effect of radiation therapy (RT) to the head neck region is oral mucositis (OM). Several studies demonstrated that glutamine may reduce severity duration OM significantly during RT chemo-radiotherapy in patients with cancer (HNC). Materials Methods: Between January 2021 August 2022, a prospective single institutional case-control study compared efficacy safety on radiation-induced HNC. Of 60 biopsy-proven HNC,...

ABSTRACT Tinnitus is a condition in which patients perceive sound without an external stimulus. It can be classified into either pulsatile or nonpulsatile tinnitus. This affects around 14% of the global population, and severity tinnitus range from barely noticeable to devastating. In most cases, benign nature. The diagnostic role imaging detect treatable specific pathology. Therefore, comprehensive clinical assessment, includes meticulous examination for associated symptoms like hearing...

The disease and surgery of the breast not only evoke a fear mutilation loss feminity but is also responsible for psychosocial, behavioral, sexual problems.To analyze prospectively time trends in "breast specific functional symptom scale scores female cancer survivors."The prospective study was conducted Department Radiation Oncology at Tertiary Referral Hospital.A total 154 operated (mastectomy) patients who were referred to chemoradiation ± target therapy (trastuzumab) hormonal (tamoxifen)...

External beam radiotherapy is being used regularly to treat the breast malignancy postoperatively. The contribution of collimator leakage and scatter radiation dose contralateral concern because high radio sensitivity tissue for carcinogenesis. This becomes more important when age cancer patient younger than 45 years therefore must be treated as organ at risk. Quantification during primary irradiation helpful estimate risk induced secondary malignancy. In present study was measured in forty...

Malignant causes account for 1–4% of upper gastrointestinal bleeding (GI-bleed). In absence widespread nodal and visceral metastatic disease, isolated duodenal metastasis from renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is very rare. Consequently, metastases an infrequent often un-recognized manifestation this disease. Here, we describe case a 52 year-old man in whom arising developed the duodenum 8 years after nephrectomy as first relapse. The patient presented with severe anemia due to occult GI bleed....

BACKGROUND: Small cell carcinoma of lung has a drastically different and an aggressive natural history with its rapid growth early systemic spread. Despite chemo-sensitivity, it exquisite tendency for local recurrence. There is irrefutable evidence that addition radiotherapy can achieve excellent control within treatment portals. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the role in small lung.
 METHODS: 55 cases were treated Department Radiotherapy from Jan, 1996 to Dec, 2000. Four subsets patients...
