Epidemiology of cancer in adolescents and young adults from a tertiary care hospital in Southern India.

Purpose: This study aimed to analyze cancer pattern among adolescents and young adults (AYA) in a tertiary care center in South India.

Materials And Methods: A retrospective study was undertaken from January 2018 to December 2021 on AYA cancer patients (aged 15-39 years).

Results: Totally, 369 cases of AYA cancers were identified for analyzing the frequency and pattern of cancer distribution.

Association of tobacco exposure with demographic and clinicopathological factors in patients of oral squamous cell carcinoma - A single-center experience.

Introduction: Almost a third of the global load of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) occurs in India and can be attributed to the widespread use of tobacco and tobacco-related products in this part of the sub-continent.

Materials And Methods: Records of 274 patients of OSCC treated between January 2018 and December 2019 in our institute were analyzed for the study for history of tobacco abuse and distribution of associated demographic, clinical, and pathological factors.

Results: The age of the patients in the study ranged from 31 to 82 years with a median age of 60 years.

A clinicoepidemiological and management profile of metastatic carcinoma gallbladder in the northeast part of Indian patients in a tertiary care center.

Introduction: Metastatic gallbladder cancer (GBC) is a highly fatal malignancy and it is difficult to treat the advanced stage of GBC. In India, northern and northeastern states are the worst affected by this disease. We, hereby, report the clinicoepidemiological and management profile of 242 patients of metastatic carcinoma of GB.

Gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists in prostate cancer: A comparative review of efficacy and safety.

Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) using gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (s) (GnRH-A) remains the backbone of advanced prostate cancer treatment. In this review, we assessed the efficacy, safety, and convenience of administration of various GnRH-A. All GnRH-A (goserelin, triptorelin, buserelin, histrelin, and leuprorelin) have comparable potential to suppress testosterone (T) levels (≤50 ng/dL in a month and ≤20 ng/dL in 3 months).

A clinico-epidemiological, pathological, and molecular study of lung cancer in Northwestern India.

Objective: The present study was undertaken to explore the clinicopathological and molecular profile of bronchogenic carcinoma in northwestern population of India.

A role for everolimus in post-transplant encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis: first case report.

Encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis (EPS) is a rare complication of peritoneal dialysis (PD) that carries a high morbidity and mortality. The 'two hit theory' suggests that long term deterioration of the peritoneum combined with intraperitoneal inflammation is needed in the pathogenesis of EPS. For unclear reasons, post transplantation EPS is being increasingly reported in patients previously on PD.
