Reproducibility of Cytomorphological Diagnosis and Assessment of Risk of Malignancy of Thyroid Nodules Based on the Bethesda System for Reporting Thyroid Cytopathology: A Tertiary Cancer Center Perspective.

Introduction: The Bethesda System for Reporting Thyroid Cytopathology (TBSRTC) was introduced for unifying the terminology and morphologic criteria along with the corresponding risk of malignancy, leading to more consistent management approaches. The aim of this study was to study the utility and reproducibility of TBSRTC in reporting thyroid cytology in a referral cancer center.

Methods: The fine-needle aspiration (FNA) of all thyroid nodules were included for a period of 5 years, from January 2016 to December 2021, in this cancer center.

Comparison of dosimetric data of bone marrow between standard IMRT and bone marrow sparing IMRT in carcinoma cervix.

Background: The aim of the study was to assess the dosimetric comparison of bone marrow between standard IMRT(SD-IMRT) and bone marrow sparing IMRT (BMS-IMRT) among carcinoma cervix patients who underwent radical or adjuvant chemoradiation in a tertiary cancer center.

Materials And Methods: Forty eligible patients of histo-pathologically proven carcinoma cervix were enrolled in the study that was randomized on a 1:1 basis between SD-IMRT and BMS-IMRT from July 2018 to October 2019. The whole pelvis, bilateral femoral heads, and upper 1/3 femur were contoured using the whole bone technique as a surrogate marker for the bone marrow.

Utility of Tru-Cut Biopsy of Breast Lesions - An Experience in a Regional Cancer Center of a Developing Country.

Introduction: Tru-cut Needle Biopsy (TCB) is an integral part of triple assessment of breast cancer, which includes clinical assessment, mammography and TCB or Core Needle Biopsy (CNB). The technique is reliable, simple, and reproducible, and inexpensive, which can be adapted even for low-income group of patients and in developing countries.

Aim: This study was done to establish the efficacy of TCB of palpable breast lesions in a developing country where mammography is not possible in all cases.

Management of Chemoradiation-Induced Mucositis in Head and Neck Cancers With Oral Glutamine.

Purpose: Head and neck cancers are the third most common cancers worldwide. Oral mucositis is the most common toxicity seen in patients who receive chemoradiation to treat head and neck cancer. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of oral glutamine supplementation in these patients.

Synchronous adenocarcinoma and mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma of the colon.

Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) tumors are a distinct subtype of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Synchronous appearance of adenocarcinoma and colonic MALT lymphoma in the same patient is quite rare. In the present report, we describe a 68-year-old female who presented with a history of bleeding per rectum.
