Oncofertility and Pregnancy in Adolescent and Young Adult Cancers: Physicians' Knowledge and Preferences in India.

Purpose: The treatment outcomes of adolescent and young adult (AYA) cancers have improved with advanced oncology care. Hence, fertility preservation (FP) and post-therapy pregnancies (PTPs) become vital issues.

Materials And Methods: An online survey link with 17 questions regarding oncofertility and PTPs was circulated among oncologists to assess the knowledge, understand the oncofertility care patterns, and seek suggestions to improve oncofertility services.

Current Challenges of Asian National Children's Cancer Study Groups on Behalf of Asian Pediatric Hematology and Oncology Group.

In Asia, a few countries have a long and established history of collaborative clinical trials successfully formed national children's cancer study groups, but many still do not have such groups. The process of forming national children's cancer groups is fraught with many hurdles, which varies among the countries. One of the basic requirements for running clinical trials is an affordable health care system in which most of the children with cancer can receive the proposed treatment.

A Perplexing Case of a Germ Cell Tumor: A Case Report.

Germ cell tumors (GCTs) are associated with pure gonadal dysgenesis or Swyer syndrome. Swyer syndrome usually presents with primary amenorrhea, streak ovaries, and mixed GCT. However, our patient presented with secondary amenorrhea, normal female external genitalia, and a mixed GCT.

Long-Term Outcomes in Survivors of Childhood Cancer: A 30-Year Experience From India.

Purpose: Despite an increasing number of survivors of childhood cancer (CCS) in low- and middle-income countries, survivorship care is in its nascent stages. We describe the spectrum of late effects seen, challenges faced, and lessons learnt over three decades of a late effects program in India.

Methods: We describe the demographics and profile of late effects of all CCS survivors enrolled in our After Completion of Treatment Clinic from February 5, 1991 (inception) to February 4, 2021.

Radiation Therapy Dose Escalation in Unresectable Ewing Sarcoma: Final Results of a Phase 3 Randomized Controlled Trial.

Purpose: Our aim was to assess the effect of radiation therapy (RT) dose escalation on outcomes in surgically unresectable Ewing sarcoma (ES)/primitive neuroectodermal tumor (PNET).

Methods And Materials: Patients with nonmetastatic unresectable ES/PNET (excluding intracranial/chest wall) receiving vincristine, doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide, ifosfamide, and etoposide chemotherapy, planned for definitive RT, were accrued in this single-institution, open-label, phase 3 randomized controlled trial. Randomization was between standard dose RT (SDRT; 55.
