Feasibility of Achieving Dose Constraints for Dysphagia Aspiration-Related Structures and Its Clinical Significance in Intensity-Modulated Radiotherapy Planning of Head and Neck Cancer.

Introduction Dysphagia is commonly seen in patients with head and neck cancers after undergoing chemoradiotherapy and is often under-reported and also not given clinical importance. The quality of life of the patients can be significantly improved if the required dose constraints to the dysphagia aspiration-related structures (DARS) are achieved. The present study was conducted in order to determine the feasibility of achieving the dose constraints to DARS between the standard intensity-modulated radiotherapy (st-IMRT) arm and the dysphagia-optimized IMRT (do-IMRT) arm.

In the present case, we report a case of left peri mandibular soft tissue, soft to firm, tender swelling in a 39-year-old immunocompetent male diagnosed as Actinomycosis infection on fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) and cell block preparation.

Urorectal Septum Malformation Sequence With Retroperitoneal Neuroblastoma: A Case Report of an Unusual Association.

Urorectal septum malformation sequence (URSMS) is an uncommon disease characterized by a failure of the anorectal septum to divide the cloaca and fuse with the cloacal membrane. Complete URSMS is usually lethal in newborn due to severe renal dysfunction and pulmonary hypoplasia. Partial URSMS is compatible with life with a single perineal opening draining a common cloaca with an imperforate anus which amenable to surgical management.

Spectrum of cervicovaginal Pap smears in newly established tertiary care medical institute.

Objectives: We undertook this study to find out the spectrum of the cervical smear pattern along with the clinical profiles of patients who underwent cervical Papanicolaou (Pap) smear evaluation in our newly started tertiary care center. We also tried to find the possible clinical cause for unsatisfactory smears and factors for epithelial cell abnormality.

Material And Methods: The present study was a retrospective observational study.

A Comprehensive Review of the Newest World Health Organization (WHO) Cytopathology Reporting Systems.

World Health Organization cytopathology reporting system systems have proposed for the pancreatobiliary tract, lung, lymph node, and soft tissue aligned with the updates in the World Health Organization classification of Tumor series. Among them, the pancreatobiliary tract and lung specimen reporting system have been published recently and are now a 7-tier and 5-tier category system, respectively, without any subcategorization. World Health Organization reporting systems also encourage the application of ancillary diagnostic tests like cell block preparation, immunocytochemistry, and rapid on-site evaluation for better categorization of specimens and further management, especially in indeterminate (atypical and suspicious for malignancy) and malignant cytology categories.

Recurrent Plunging Ranula - A Rare Case Report.

Background: Plunging ranula is a variant of ranula, which present as a painless subcutaneous anterolateral neck mass and is located beyond the mylohyoid muscle. These swelling presentations with no intraoral component are extremely rare and rarely provide a diagnostic challenge.

Case Report: An elderly male presented with painless neck mass in the cervical region for three months.

Assessment of Setup Errors in Gynecological Malignancies Treated With Radiotherapy Using Onboard Imaging.

Introduction  Radiotherapy plays a vital role in the management of gynecological malignancies. However, maintaining patient position poses a challenge during daily radiotherapy treatment of these patients. This study identifies and calculates setup errors in interfraction radiotherapy and optimum clinical target volume-planning target volume (CTV-PTV) margins in patients with gynecological malignancies.

Insufficient/inadequate category in breast cytology: Are the standardized guidelines of rapid on-site evaluation available to reduce its rate?

In 2017, the International Academy of Cytology announced a five-tier reporting system for breast fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) cytopathology. We observed the insufficient/inadequate cases rate varied from 2.05% to 39.

Cytology of micropapillary mucinous carcinoma: A case report of a clinically and genetically distinct breast carcinoma variant.

Micropapillary mucinous carcinoma (MPMC) is an uncommon histopathological variant of breast cancer accounting for approximately one-fifth of all mucinous breast carcinomas. In contrast to pure mucinous carcinoma, MPMC tends to affect younger women and is associated with decreased progression-free survival, higher nuclear grade, lymphovascular invasion, lymph node metastasis, and positive HER2 status. Typically MPMC histology shows micropapillary architecture with "hobnailing" of cells and reverse polarity.

Comparison of Dosimetric Parameters in Dysphagia Aspiration-Related Structures and Clinical Correlation in Head and Neck Cancer Patients Treated With Radiotherapy.

Introduction Chemoradiotherapy plays a major role in the treatment of head and neck cancer (HNC). Persistent dysphagia following primary chemoradiotherapy for head and neck cancers can have a devastating effect on a patient's quality of life. Many studies have shown that the dosimetric sparing of critical structures which were included in swallowing such as the pharyngeal constrictor muscle and larynx can provide improved functional outcomes and better quality of life.

Comparison of Dosimetric Parameters and Clinical Outcomes in Inversely Planned Intensity-Modulated Radiotherapy (IMRT) and Field-in-Field Forward Planned IMRT for the Treatment of Breast Cancer.

Introduction Radiotherapy has been an important component of the multimodality approach to breast cancer treatment. Newer techniques like three-dimensional radiotherapy had led to better dose distribution over the target volume, with tissue inhomogeneity corrections. To improve the uniformity in dose distribution, a newer technique of intensity modulation was developed, namely, intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT).
