Expression of Survivin, CK7, ASH1, HMGB3, L587S, and CLCA2 in Peripheral Blood of Lung Cancer Patients by Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction.

Introduction The objective of the present study was to identify gene expression in peripheral blood by a real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique in patients who have lung carcinoma. Material and methods Peripheral blood samples of patients with non-small cell and small cell lung cancer were collected. Target genes included survivin, CK7, ASH1, HMGB3, L587S, and CLCA2.

Role of 2-(fluorine-18) Fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography in Initial Staging and Bone Marrow Involvement Prediction in Patients with Newly Diagnosed Lymphoma in Correlation with Bone Marrow Study.

Background: Lymphoma is a common malignant proliferative disease in which bone marrow infiltration will upstage the disease and thus affect prognosis of the disease. As of now bone marrow biopsy is considered as a reference standard to find out bone marrow involvement in lymphoma. Performing an invasive and painful intervention in all newly diagnosed lymphoma patients is controversial.

Recurrent Giant Cell Tumor of Sphenoid Bone: A Rare Finding.

Giant Cell Tumors of the skull are rare and mostly occur in the middle cranial fossa. Radiological investigations serve as adjunct modalities; however, histopathological confirmation is mandatory. Ten to forty% of GCTs may be recurrent.

Hand Foot Syndrome Induced by Lenvatinib - A Case Report.

Introduction: Hand-Foot Syndrome (HFS), also known as palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia, is a common reaction to Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors ( TKIs), which can often lead to discontinuation of the drug. Lenvatinib is a recently approved drug for the treatment of endometrial carcinoma, which has been proven to provide a better overall survival rate and longer duration of progression-free survival among patients with advanced endometrial cancer. Herein, we have reported a case of carcinoma endometrium with metastasis who had to discontinue the use of lenvatinib due to the adverse drug reaction.

Radiotherapy in Extramedullary Plasmacytoma of the Tongue with Nodal Involvement: A Case Report with One-Year Follow-Up.

Tongue extramedullary plasmacytoma (EMP) with regional lymph node metastases is a very rare pathology. Despite being a rare entity, extramedullary plasmacytoma should be considered a differential diagnosis in cases of a mass or ulcer in the tongue. A 60-year-old lady presents with an ulcerative lesion over the right lateral border of the tongue with dimensions 3.

Epithelial-Myoepithelial Carcinoma of Nasal Cavity at an Unusual Age: A Case Report and Review of Literature.

Introduction: Epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma (EMC) was recognised as a distinct pathologic entity in World Health Organisation classification. It is an extremely rare low grade carcinoma of salivary gland, with characteristic biphasic tubular structures. It predominantly occurs in Parotid gland but can also be seen in nasopharynx, lacrimal gland, paranasal sinuses, larynx, lung.

A Dosimetric Comparison of Volumetric-modulated Arc Therapy and IMRT for Cochlea-sparing Radiation Therapy in Locally Advanced Nasopharyngeal Cancer.

Background: Head-and-neck cancer treatment includes radiotherapy as a crucial component. However, radiotherapy, like other treatment modalities, has its own side effects, some of which can be avoided using the latest medical technology and understanding the illness. Despite being a relatively uncommon subtype of head-and-neck cancer, radiation is essential in the treatment of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC).

Solitary Extraosseous Plasmacytoma of Submandibular Gland - Report of a Rare Case.

Background: Plasmacytomas are tumors involving plasma cells that can be either osseous or extraosseous. Solitary extraosseous plasmacytomas are rarely found in the head and neck region. Various pathological, immuno-histochemistry, and radiological investigations must be done to distinguish it from multiple myeloma.

Advancing Precision in Post-mastectomy Chest Wall Radiotherapy: A Comparative Dosimetric Analysis of Volumetric-Modulated Arc Therapy (VMAT) and Intensity-Modulated Radiotherapy (IMRT) Based on Institutional Experience.

Background: Post-mastectomy radiation therapy (PMRT) is an important component in the management of breast cancer patients who have undergone mastectomy. Intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and volumetric-modulated arc therapy (VMAT) are two popular methods of delivering PMRT. With IMRT, high radiation doses are directed at the tumor, while exposure to healthy tissue is kept to a minimum.

Diffuse White Adipose Tissue 18F-FDG Uptake-An Unusual Finding on 18F-FDG PET/CT.

Brown adipose tissue of cervical, supraclavicular, and paravertebral regions can show increased FDG uptake. But human white adipose tissue (WAT) shows negligible FDG uptake on 18F-FDG PET/CT scan. We present a case of carcinoma cervix treated with concurrent chemoradiation.

Double primary malignant tumor in a centenarian female: Case report and review of literature.

A hundred and three year old female patient was evaluated for ulcer over the nasion area and a mass arising from the right upper eyelid, appearing two months apart. Histopathology revealed nasion ulcer as basal cell carcinoma while right eyelid mass was diagnosed as poorly differentiated squamous cell carcinoma. Based on these findings and the time gap between two lesions a diagnosis of synchronous double primary malignant tumor was made.

Precision of intraocular lens power prediction in eyes shorter than 22 mm: An analysis of 6 formulas.

Purpose: To analyze the precision of 6 intraocular lens (IOL) power calculation formulas in predicting refractive outcome in eyes with an axial length (AL) less than 22.0 mm.

Setting: Department of Ophthalmology, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Raipur, India.
