Outcome and toxicity of chemoradiation using volumetric modulated arc therapy followed by 3D image-guided brachytherapy for cervical cancer: Vietnam National Cancer Hospital experience.

Background: Volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) and 3D image-guided brachytherapy (3D-IGBT) have recently been introduced in Vietnam for the treatment of locally advanced cervical cancer. This study aims to assess the outcomes and toxicities of chemoradiation using VMAT followed by 3D-IGBT in Vietnamese cervical cancer patients.

Materials And Methods: A prospective interventional study on 72 patients with 2018 International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage IB3-IIIC2 disease who underwent concurrent chemoradiation using VMAT, followed by 3D-IGBT according to EMBRACE-II protocol.

Peuzt - Jeghers syndrome with gastric type mucinous endocervical adenocarcinoma in a young woman: A case report.

Introduction: Patients with Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS) have high risk of malignancies, including gynecological cancers. Gastric type mucinous cervical adenocarcinoma might be presented in about 11-17% of PJS patients but the literature about this is limited.

Case Presentation: We presented a rare case of a 39-year-old Vietnamese woman with Peutz-Jeghers syndrome who has gastric type adenocarcinoma (GAS) of the cervix.

A Novel Gene Mutation Detected With Breast Cancer in a Vietnamese Family by Targeted Next-Generation Sequencing: A Case Report.

Hereditary breast cancer is an inherited genetic condition, mainly caused by and gene mutations. These genetic changes can increase the risks of breast and ovarian cancers in women, while prostate and breast cancers in men. Especially, mutations in either or genes take important roles in early-onset breast cancer.

Evaluations of Biomarker Status Changes between Primary and Recurrent Tumor Tissue Samples in Breast Cancer Patients.

Background: Obtaining tumor specimens and re-evaluating targeted markers is recommended, if possible, in breast cancer patients who relapsed after curative treatment. The biomarker status changes in rebiopsied tumors have been demonstrated to have considerable clinical implications.

Objectives: To identify the changes of estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) status between the primary and recurrent lesions.

Application of St Gallen Categories in Predicting Survival for Patients With Breast Cancer in Vietnam.

Breast cancer is a heterogeneous disease with different tumor subtypes. Identifying risk categories will help make better treatment decisions. Hence, this study aimed to predict the survival outcomes of invasive breast cancer in Vietnam, using St Gallen 2007 classification.
