Expression Pattern of Estrogen Receptor Alpha and Progesterone Receptor in Gallbladder Carcinoma and Their Association with Clinicopathological Parameters and Overall Survival.

Background: Gallbladder cancer (GBC) is a highly aggressive malignant tumor with a poor prognosis. Despite being first described two centuries ago, there are no targeted therapies available beyond conventional cytotoxic therapy. Epidemiological studies have shown that the incidence of gallbladder cancer is higher in females than males.

Intracranial tumor-to-tumor metastasis in an elderly female: An unusual case report.

Tumor-to-tumor metastasis is an extremely rare event, with only 150 reported cases in the literature. Meningioma, renal carcinoma, and tumors of the thyroid are the commonest sites of metastasis. Lung, breast, and GI-tract cancers are the most common types that undergo metastasis.

Role of perigastric arcade removal in serous epithelial ovarian cancers.

Introduction: Omentectomy is an essential part of cytoreductive surgery (CRS). However, removal of perigastric arcade (PGA) of the omentum is a controversial aspect of omentectomy in view of the fear of injury, vascular compromise and gastroparesis. Hence, we conducted a study to evaluate the necessity and effect of removal of PGA during omentectomy.

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.

Diagnostic Utility of Ultrasound-Guided Fine-Needle Aspiration Cytology in Gall Bladder Lesions: An Experience from a Tertiary Care Cancer Center in Eastern India.

Introduction: Gallbladder cancer (GBC) is the most common malignancy, representing 80-95% of biliary tract cancers. Although ultrasonography-guided fine-needle aspiration cytology (USG-FNAC) has emerged as an effective diagnostic the tool for the precise diagnosis of gallbladder lesions, data on its diagnostic utility and cytomorphological categorization of gallbladder lesions are lacking.

Aims: To study the diagnostic utility of USG-FNAC in gallbladder lesions.

Clinicopathological study of malignant melanoma in a regional cancer center.

Background: : Malignant melanoma is a tumor of melanocytic origin. Although uncommon in India as compared with the west, its prevalence is increasing.

Objectives: To document the pattern of clinicopathological features of malignant melanoma cases attending in a regional cancer center in eastern India.

Geographical distribution of cervical cancer in Odisha: A 5-year retrospective study at a regional cancer center.

Background: Cancer cervix and breast are the two major female health problems in India. A hospital-based, 5-year (2010-2014) retrospective study was conducted at a regional cancer center of Odisha to analyze the present burden of cancer cervix in this state, which has a population of more than 45.5 million at present.

Role of fine-needle aspiration cytology in diagnosis of disseminated histoplasmosis in an immunocompetent patient: A case report.

Histoplasmosis is a mycotic infection caused by dimorphic fungus, . The organisms are usually found within the cells (macrophages). This organism mostly affects lungs in immunocompetent individuals and disseminated forms are seen in immunocompromised cases.

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.

Role of fine needle aspiration cytology and cell block in diagnosis of scar endometriosis: A case report.

Presence of endometrial glands and stroma in places other than the uterus is called endometriosis. It can be pelvic or extra-pelvic. Abdominal scar endometriosis is an extra-pelvic endometriosis that can occur after surgery involving the uterus.

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.

Cytologic detection of tuberculous cervicitis: a report of 7 cases.

Background: Tuberculous infection, which is now uncommon in western society, is still frequently observed in Third World countries like Africa and India. The cervix is involved in 5-10% of cases in female genital tract tuberculosis. Tuberculous involvement of the female genital tract in almost all cases is secondary to extragenital tuberculosis.

Squamous cell carcinoma of breast--report of two case.

Squamous cell carcinoma is an extremely rare variant of breast cancer. Presence of unequivocal squamous differentiation should be observed to diagnose a case as squamous cell carcinoma of breast since focal squamous metaplasia is frequently seen in common variants of breast carcinoma. We report here two cases of squamous cell carcinoma of breast, one a primary metaplastic type and the other one metastatic from a carcinoma of the cervix.

Hepatoblastoma--report of three cases.

Hepatoblastoma accounts for only 0.5% of all paediatric tumours. The vast majority of these cases are seen under five years of age and a third of patients have some form of congenital anomaly syndrome or other childhood tumour.

Proliferating Brenner tumour of ovary--a case report.

Transitional cell tumours or Brenner tumours of ovary are uncommon neoplasms. Out of all the Brenner tumours less than 2% are either proliferating or malignant type. Borderline or malignant tumours occur in women who are on an average 10 years older than those with benign tumours.
