Abstract Axicabtagene ciloleucel (Axi-cel) is a CD-19 Chimeric Antigen Receptor T cell therapy approved for the treatment of relapsed/refractory diffuse large B lymphoma. We treated ten patients with DLBCL post-FDA approval in an inner-city tertiary center Bronx. Eight (80%) had received ≥ 3 lines therapy, six prior radiation, and seven recurrent disease after autologous hematopoietic stem transplant (AHCT). Our cohort included one patient HIV, two hepatitis B, CNS involvement Axi-cel led to...
Purpose: The main objective of the study was to evaluate effect air gaps 0 - 5.0 cm between bolus and skin for 1.0 Superflab on surface dose (DSurf) depth maximum (dmax) in solid water Rando? phantoms. Methods: In this work, effects distance DSurf variation dmax were analyzed a phantom an anthropomorphic different field sizes, using Gafchromic? EBT films farmer chamber. Results: For sizes 5 × cm2 is significantly affected by increasing greater than mm. larger 10 cm2, nearly same cm. small...
The lack of a multidisciplinary approach to the management cancer patients in most parts Pakistan is long-standing and major concern. To overcome this disparity, we started student-run initiative facilitate establishment tumor boards (MTBs) oncology, titled "Tumor Board Establishment Facilitation Forum (TEFF)". objectives study were evaluate clinical academic impact TEFF on care for student education, respectively. formation was based Theory Change model. We conducted needs assessment...
In oncology, healthcare professionals from different specialties, such as oncologists, radiologists, and surgeons, assemble to form a cooperative group described the Multidisciplinary Team (MDT). Whose main objective is formulate standardized Treatment plans for cancer patients. MDTs are now widely used in global system manage complicated cases. Weekly MDT meetings have become benchmark care. However, these often time-consuming, challenging due diverse range of perspectives. This where SBAR...
Abstract Background Low‐ and middle‐income countries sustain the majority of pediatric cancer burden, with significantly poorer survival rates compared to high‐income countries. Collaboration between institutions in low‐ is one ways improve outcomes. Methods Patient characteristics effects a neuro‐oncology twinning program Hospital for Sick Children Toronto, Canada several hospitals Karachi, Pakistan over 7 years are described this article. Results A total 460 patients were included study....
Abstract Pediatric radiotherapy is a critical part of pediatric oncology protocols and the quality may determine future life for long‐term survivors. Multidisciplinary team decision making provides basis high‐quality care. However, delivery dependent on resources. This article guidelines good radiation therapy in resource‐limited countries based rational procurement maintenance planning, protocol development, three‐dimensional assurance, adequate staff numbers training.
PURPOSE To evaluate and report the frequency of changes in radiation therapy treatment plans after peer review a simulation meeting once week. MATERIALS AND METHODS Between July 1 August 31, 2016, 116 patients were discussed departmental meetings. All finalized by primary oncologist before presenting them meeting. A team oncologists reviewed each plan, their suggestions documented as no change, major minor or missing contour. Changes further classified clinical target volume, field, dose....
Hidradenocarcinoma is a rare and locally aggressive tumor rendering poor prognosis. Furthermore, very few cases present with nodal metastasis. Diagnosing such an entity, then differentiating it from benign counterpart, poses great challenge to the clinicians. There are no established treatment guidelines for management of this disease, particularly in patients involvement. We case young male who was diagnosed hidradenocarcinoma scalp, along neck swelling. A thorough diagnostic evaluation...
Febrile neutropenia (FN) and myelosupression remain a challenging oncologic medical emergency dose limiting toxicity associated with chemotherapy for cancers. Various factors are known to affect the outcomes patients diagnosed FN. Electrolyte abnormalities have commonly been observed, but real incidence their impact has only scarcely studied in literature.This was prospective, observational study. A total of two hundred fifteen (215) admitted between January 2007 August 2008 were included....
To report the long-term outcome in lymph nodal-metastatic cervical squamous cell cancer after chemoradiation followed by adjuvant chemotherapy.Between 2010 and 2013, five patients were diagnosed with advanced clinically involved para-aortic nodes (ie, International Federation of Gynecology Obstetrics stage IVB). These treated concurrent therapy chemotherapy. Concurrent consisted cisplatin given once per week concomitantly extended-field radiation high-dose-rate brachytherapy. Adjuvant...
