Background: Almost all the patients receiving curative radiotherapy for head and neck cancer develop radiation dermatitis, which many a times leads to treatment interruption and reduce patient compliance. In this study, we evaluated the effect of potent topical steroid (Betamethasone Valerate 0.1%) cream on acute radiation dermatitis in head and ne...
Background
The impact of loco-regional treatment (LRT) with radiotherapy (RT) in patients presenting with metastatic breast cancer (MBC) has not been widely studied. The aim of this study was to review the treatment outcomes of LRT including RT in patients with MBC.
Materials and methods
Patients who presented with MBC were included in this retros...
Background:
Almost all the patients receiving curative radiotherapy for head and neck cancer develop radiation dermatitis, which many a times leads to treatment interruption and reduce patient compliance.

Purpose:
The purpose of this study was to correlate treatment response with tumor blood perfusion in patient of advanced head-and-neck cancer undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
Materials and methods:
A total of 40 patients of advanced head-and-neck cancer, who were planned for neoadjuvant chemotherapy, were included in the study. All patients...
Context:
In advanced radiotherapy techniques such as three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3DCRT) and intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT), geometrical uncertainties are very crucial as they may lead to under dosing of tumor and over dosing of the nearby critical structures and hence, it is important to determine planning target volume (PTV...
Background: Adjuvant radiotherapy has increased local-regional and overall survival rates in breast cancer. Conventional fractionation delivering 50-60 Gray (Gy) over 5-6weeks is a standard approach. A shorter duration of hypofractionated treatment will be more convenient for patients and treatment providers if found safe and equally effective.Meth...
Objective
The objective of this study is comparision of local and distant control rates with high-dose versus standard-dose radiotherapy along with concurrent chemotherapy in esophageal cancer – a prospective randomized study.
Materials and Methods
Histologically proven Stage I–III patients with carcinoma esophagus were randomized into two groups....
Recurrence of cancer within radiation field is the most dreaded news after curative radiation therapy in head and neck cancer patients. Surgical treatment of these sites is always challenging, which becomes worse after radiation. With the introduction of conformal modalities, the chances of re-irradiation of recurrent cancer are being explored for...
We report this first case of synchronous cervical rhabdomyosarcoma and Sertoli-Leydig cell tumor (SLCT) of ovary with congenital absence of unilateral ovary and fallopian tube in a 16-year-old female patient. A review of the English-language literature identified only six cases of double malignancies with cervical rhabdomyosarcoma and SLCT but none...
