Purpose: To compare dose volume parameters of target and organs at risk in vaginal vault brachytherapy using ovoids or cylinder in post-operative endometrial carcinoma.
Material And Methods: The study was done among 25 histologically proven post-operative endometrial carcinoma patients requiring vaginal brachytherapy. All patients underwent both cylinder and ovoids application alternatively on weekly basis.
Background: The current standard of treatment for locally advanced cervical cancer is concurrent chemo-radiation with improved overall survival (OS) by 6% with manageable toxicities. The cisplatin 40 mg/m given weekly is the widely practiced regimen for 4-6 cycles concurrently with irradiation.
Materials And Methods: Two hundred and twelve patients with histologically proven squamous cell carcinoma of cervix with stages IIB to IIIB were enrolled between 2007-2011.
Background: Addition of chemotherapy to radiation has improved 5-year survival by 6%. However, the optimal dose and schedule of concurrent cisplatin is not well defined, though widely accepted practice is the weekly schedule of 40 mg/m for 5 weeks. Repeated admissions for weekly cisplatin drain the limited resources in high volume centres.

This prospective randomized study is an attempt to assess the efficacy of two schedules of cisplatin in management of locally advanced HNSCC.
Objectives: The objectives of this study was to evaluate tolerance, tumour response and toxicities of concurrent chemoradiation with cisplatin in weekly and three weekly regimes.
Article Synopsis
- The study focused on the presentation and management of primary Rosai-Dorfman Disease (RDD) in eleven patients from 2010 to 2015, with nine patients actively treated at the institute.
- The results showed that treatments like corticosteroids and low-dose radiation were effective, particularly in neck and CNS presentations, leading to various levels of response.
- The conclusion emphasized the lack of formal guidelines for RDD management and suggested that low-dose radiation combined with surgery or corticosteroids may improve local control of the disease.
