Predictive Factors for Submandibular Gland Involvement in Oral Cavity Squamous Cell Carcinoma-a Prospective Study from a Tertiary Cancer Center.

The oncological necessity of submandibular gland removal during neck dissection for oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma surgery has remained controversial. This study was aimed to determine the rate of SMG involvement and assess the feasibility of submandibular gland (SMG) preservation. We present a prospective study conducted at a tertiary cancer center from June 2017 to May 2019.

Surgical Management of Locoregional Recurrence in Breast Cancer.

Locoregional recurrences from breast cancer represent a heterogeneous group of disease that poses a therapeutic challenge and needs a multidisciplinary team management. The incidence of local recurrence after breast conservation surgery ranges from 10 to 22% and 5-15% after mastectomy at 10-year follow-up. Management of locoregional recurrence depends on tumor biology, stage at presentation, and prior local and systemic therapy.

Robot-Assisted Esophagectomy After Neoadjuvant Chemoradiation-Current Status and Future Prospects.

Multimodality treatment with neoadjuvant chemoradiation followed by surgery has become the standard of care for esophageal cancer. In the recent years, there has been a shift in focus of surgical approach from open esophagectomy to minimally invasive esophagectomy. Robot-assisted esophagectomy is being performed more often in centers across the world.

Can Preoperative Ultrasonography and MRI Replace Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy in Management of Axilla in Early Breast Cancer-a Prospective Study from a Tertiary Cancer Center.

Although SLNB is a less invasive procedure in detecting axillary lymph node metastases(ALNM) in early breast cancer; still, it carries some complications like lymphedema and in addition, performing SLNB requires surgical skills, technical knowledge, presence of facility like preoperative sentinel lymphoscintigraphy, and availability of hand-held gamma probe for intraoperative assessment. We calculated the relative diagnostic strength of preoperative axillary USG and MRI and compared with of SLNB for detection of ALNM in early breast cancer and assessed whether MRI and USG could accurately predict axillary LN status, potentially replacing SLNB. We evaluated 40 cases of clinically node-negative early breast cancer with preoperative axillary USG and MRI and subsequently subjected to SLNB.

Oncoplastic Breast Reconstruction in Breast Conservation Surgery: Improving the Oncological and Aesthetic Outcomes.

Breast conservation surgery (BCS) is now the standard of care for patients with early breast cancer. The main contraindications for BCS besides the presence of multicentricity and diffuse microcalcifications are inadequate tumour size to breast size ratio. With the advent of oncoplastic techniques, the indications of BCS may be further extended to patient with larger tumour size and or small volume breast.
