Imaging in Breast Cancer: Use of Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy.

Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) is used nowadays with increased specificity to distinguish between malignant and benign breast lesions.  Objective: To determine the diagnostic accuracy of MRS in malignant breast lesions.  Methodology: Newly diagnosed patients (n=158) having breast lesions diagnosed on ultrasound and mammography were enrolled to conduct the present study at Bahawal Victoria Hospital, Bahawalpur, Pakistan for six months.

Frequency of Mucositis Among Head and Neck Cancer Patients Receiving Three-Dimensional (3D) Radiotherapy.

Background and objective Head and neck cancer can arise from any site like hypo-pharynx, oro-pharynx, lip, oral cavity, or larynx. Almost 90% of them are head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC). In the current project, the goal was to determine the frequency of acute side effects in terms of mucositis during and immediately post-irradiation period in patients receiving concurrent three-dimensional (3D) radiotherapy in a tertiary care hospital.
