The infiltration of T-lymphocytes in the stroma and tumour is an indication effective immune response against tumour, resulting better survival. In this study, our aim was to explore prognostic significance tumour-associated infiltrating lymphocytes (TASILs) head neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) through AI-based automated method. A deep learning-based method employed segment stroma, digitally scanned whole slide images HNSCC tissue slides. spatial patterns were quantified compute score...
Cancer patients' preferences regarding disclosure of prognosis and end-of-life care remain under-reported from low- middle-income countries where cancer poses an increasing demand on scarce healthcare resources. A better knowledge these can help in achievement shared treatment goals.To survey adult patients careA multidimensional questionnaire was developed to consecutively sampled patients. fifth the participants completed a repeat 3 months later.Adult at specialist center Pakistan.In...

Adnexal tumors of the skin are a large and diverse group benign malignant neoplasms, which exhibit morphological differentiation toward one different types adnexal epithelium present in normal they pose diagnostic challenge. The purpose this study is to share our experience with these rare but aggressive at tertiary care cancer hospital developing country. A retrospective review 11 patients diagnosed their variants from January 2005 December 2014, treated either surgically or non-surgically,...
The use of phenytoin as a prophylactic anticonvulsant after brain surgery, particularly for tumors, is common practice, regardless whether the patient has previous history convulsions. This treatment policy assumes that benefits exceed risks. Four cases are described adverse reactions to during concomitant cranial radiotherapy. In one this proved fatal. There increasing anecdotal support in literature synergistic effect between therapy and radiotherapy can result life-threatening...

Abstract Objective This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of pain among treatment‐naïve patients with oral cancer and identify clinical histopathological characteristics associated occurrence. Materials Methods A retrospective chart review was conducted presenting biopsy‐proven between January 2015 December 2019. Variables, including demographic data, medical history, presentation, information, were extracted analyzed. Appropriate descriptive analytic statistics computed. Results Among...
Concurrent chemo-radiation (CRT) has been established as the standard of care for non-metastatic loco-regionally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) but recently addition induction chemotherapy in already regimen presented an attractive multidisciplinary approach. This retrospective study was carried out to evaluate efficacy (IC) followed by CRT management NPC. Between July 2005 and September 2010, 99 patients were treated with cisplatin based IC CRT. Induction included a 2 drug...
Despite being rare in incidence, malignant tumors of major salivary glands show diverse histological variation. There are limited data on gland tumor management and outcome from Pakistan. The objective this study was to share our experience with glands.Patients who received treatment at Shaukat Khanum Cancer Hospital Research Center July 2002 June 2011 an underlying diagnosis a malignancy were included. Patient characteristics modalities assessed. Local, regional distant failures determined....
Triple negative breast cancer is associated with aggressive behavior and high risk of local regional failure. Aggressive surgical intervention considered suitable. This makes role conserving therapy (BCT) debatable in these patients. The objective this study was to compare outcome BCT for triple versus non-triple cancer.Medical records patients who underwent from 1999 2009 at Shaukat Khanum Cancer Hospital had complete receptor status information were extracted. Patients divided into (TNBC)...

Primary pancreatic lymphomas are rare. We reviewed our experience at King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Center; the hospital tumor registry identified five patients with primary lymphoma among 1,212 adult non-Hodgkin's (NHL) cases referred to this institute during 1987-1994. The histology was diffuse large cell in all cases. According Ann Arbor classification, four had stage IE one patient IIE disease. diagnosis established by laparotomy three ultrasound or CT-guided biopsy two...
