Benign tumours of nasopharynx are extremely rare; seen predominantly in children and young adults. Patients usually present with seemingly innocuous symptoms and an error in judgement can be catastrophic. This is a retrospective analysis of patients diagnosed to have benign tumours of nasopharynx by histopathological examination in our tertiary care referral centre. The period of study is from September 2009 to August 2010. Eight patients with complete clinical data were identified and included in the study. All the patients were males with a mean age of 21.37 years (range 10-43). Following surgical excision patients were followed up for a mean period of 6.5 months (range 3-14). The Clinical profile, investigation modalities, treatment options are being analysed here.

Background: Skin cancers, including melanoma and keratinocyte cancers, are among the most common cancers worldwide, and their incidence is rising in most populations. Earlier detection of skin cancer leads to better outcomes for patients. Artificial intelligence (AI) technologies have been applied to skin cancer diagnosis, but many technologies lack clinical evidence and/or the appropriate regulatory approvals.

Background: Parents of children treated for cancer may experience psychological difficulties including depression, anxiety, and posttraumatic stress. Digital interventions, such as internet-administered cognitive behavioral therapy, offer an accessible and flexible means to support parents. However, engagement with and adherence to digital interventions remain a significant challenge, potentially limiting efficacy.

Interferon alpha (IFNa) is approved for the therapy of patients (pts) with polycythemia vera (PV), a subtype of myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN). Some pts achieve molecular responses (MR), but clonal factors sensitizing for MR remain elusive. We integrated colony formation and differentiation assays with single-cell RNA seq and genotyping in PV-derived cells vs.

Purpose: Considerable genetic heterogeneity is currently thought to underlie hereditary prostate cancer (HPC). Most families meeting criteria for HPC cannot be attributed to currently known pathogenic variants.
Methods: To discover pathogenic variants predisposing to prostate cancer, we conducted a familial case-control association study using both genome-wide single-allele and identity-by-descent analytic approaches.
