Objectives: Presence/absence of cervical lymph node metastasis plays a critical role in prognosis and survival of patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). This study was designed to assess the diagnostic accuracy of computed tomography (CT) scan for detection of cervical lymph node metastasis in oral SCC in comparison with histopathological analysis after neck dissection Methods: In...

Background: Cervical carcinoma is the fourth most common cancer and leading cause of related deaths in women worldwide. Brachytherapy an important part treatment cervical cancer. Delivering HDR Intracavitary Covid-19 era challenging. Objective: To compare dosimetry outcomes between two fractionation schedules 9Gy 2 fractions v/s 7Gy 3 high dose rate patients with locally advanced cervix. Method...

OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to evaluate the clinical benefits of routine squamous cell carcinoma antigen (SCC-Ag) monitoring of patients with locally advanced cervical squamous cell carcinoma treated with radiation or chemoradiation. METHODS A total of 53 patients with recurrent cervical squamous cell carcinoma treated with radiotherapy or chemoradiation were enrolled in this st...

Introduction: Cervical cancer is the fourth most commonly occurring lethal among women worldwide. The primary curative treatment option for suffering from locally advanced cervical includes external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) with concurrent weekly platinum-based radiosensitizing chemotherapy and brachytherapy (BT) to obtain finest outcomes. Aim: purpose of this study assess tumor response follow...

Cervical carcinoma is the second most common cause of cancer deaths in women worldwide. Treatments have not changed for decades and survival rates for advanced disease remain low. An exciting new molecular target for the treatment of cervical squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), and possibly for SCCs at other anatomical sites, is the oncostatin M receptor (OSMR). This cell surface cytokine receptor i...
