Synchronous Anal Squamous Cell Carcinoma and Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma of Stomach: the First Report of an Odd Couple.

The unique case study presented here explores an exceptionally rare occurrence in an HIV-positive female-synchronous diagnoses of anal squamous cell carcinoma and diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) of the stomach. With limited existing literature on such clinical scenarios, this case serves as an unprecedented insight into the complexities of managing such synchronous malignancies in HIV-positive patients. The article also examines the heightened risk of specific cancer types in individuals living with HIV compared to those without the virus, focusing on AIDS-defining cancers such as Kaposi sarcoma, various lymphomas (including Burkitt lymphoma, immunoblastic lymphoma, and primary central nervous system lymphoma), and invasive cervical cancer.

To study the survival outcomes of uncommon recurrences among patients with cervical cancer compared with loco-regional and nodal recurrences at a tertiary care center in North East India - Bridging the knowledge gap in the existing literature.

Background: Recurrence rates of FIGO stage IB-IIA and IIB-IVA cervical cancer  28-64  respectively. There is a scarcity of data on the recurrence recurrence pattern for unusual sites and theirrecurrence pattern for unusual sites and its association with survival and prognosis.

Objective: To study overall survival in patients with distant metastasis compared to local and regional nodal metastasis.

FIGO 2023 endometrial staging: a leap of faith into the new "prognostic based' rather than "anatomical based" staging-too fast too furious??

Background: In 2023 FIGO revised the endometrial cancer staging system after 13 years. There is a lacuna of data regarding the performance and practicality of the revised 2023 FIGO staging schema for endometrial cancer from Low Middle-Income Countries (LMIC).

Objective: To estimate the shift of stage and adjuvant management of endometrial cancer based on the FIGO 2023 system compared to the FIGO 2009 system and assess the predictive potential of the FIGO 2023 system.

Improved Treatment Outcomes With Modified Induction Therapy in Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML): A Retrospective Observational Study From a Regional Cancer Center.

Background: The aggressive, genetically diverse group of malignant illnesses known as acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is characterized by clonally related myeloblast invasion of the bone marrow, blood, and other organs. The treatment regimen plays a crucial role in the management of AML, and it is associated with poor overall survival and enhanced risk of relapse. Induction therapy with a 7+3 DA regimen (daunorubicin + ara-C) has been the treatment of choice for young and fit patients.

Pattern of Care of Recurrent Cervical Cancer in Low-resource Settings: Challenges and Patient-initiated Follow-up as a Novel Opportunity.

Introduction: The availability of optimum diagnostic strategies remains a major problem in resource-constraint countries. This technique of patient-initiated follow-up (PIFU) has been recently adopted in the UK for gynecological cancers and has proven cost benefits. However, no study from the Indian subcontinent has ever been reported.
