Staging of Laryngeal and Hypopharyngeal Cancer: Computed Tomography versus Histopathology

Introduction: Computed tomography (CT) imaging is the choice of investigation for evaluation of extent of tumor under the mucosa, locally and regionally. This study was undertaken to assess the accuracy of preoperative CT imaging in the staging of carcinoma of the larynx and hypopharynx.   Materials and Methods: In this retrospective study, all cases who were clinically (c) staged T3–T4 and w...

Staging of colorectal cancer using serum metabolomics with 1HNMR Spectroscopy

Objective(s): Determination of stages of colon cancer is done by biopsy usually after surgery. Metabolomics is the study of all the metabolites using LC-MS and 1HNMR spectroscopy with chemometric techniques. The stages of colon cancer were detected from patients' sera using 1HNMR. Materials and Methods: Five ml blood was collected from 16 confirmed patients referred for colonoscopy.  One group ...

Staging of oesophageal cancer

Diagnosis of oesophageal cancer is usually made at endoscopic biopsy. Imaging is used to stage the tumour, assess response to therapy, and detect complications of therapy and recurrence. For therapy planning, differentiation of resectable (T1-T3, N0, localised N1) versus irresectable disease (T4, extensive N1, M1) is important. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) is the method of choice for diagnosing ...
