Background: The aims and objectives of this study are to study the influence of Estrogen receptor ER, Progesterone receptor PR of patients having infiltrating ductal carcinoma of breast recieving Neoadjuvant chemotherapy, To study the influence of ER and PR receptors in patients receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy & correlate complete pathological response. Methods Type of study: Prospective clinical study. present study was carried out in the department of general surgery Vinayaka Missions medical college and hospital karaikal from July 2016 -December 2017. HPE (Histopathological examination) and ER PR status was done. Patients diagnosed with locally advanced breast cancer underwent simple randomization into 2 treatment groups. Group 1: AC (Adriamycin 60mg/m2, Cyclophosphamide 600mg/m2) once every 3 weeks for 4 cycles Group2: Docetaxel 75 mg/m2 for 4 cycles every 3 weekly(11). Clinical examination was performed after every two cycles and completing all the chemotherapy, study group patients were subjected to Modified radical mastectomy which was then followed by evaluation of pathological response.
Conclusion:In this study 30 patients ER PR status was done. According to ER PR status Neoadjuvant chemotherapy regimen given. NCT response was assessed with clinical / imaging study. There was reduction in tumor size and change in lymph node status in both the groups with p value of .44. As our study size is small we cannot predict the actual outcome of the two study groups. We need larger sample size to predict the actual outcome. Results: The statistical analysis was performed by STATA 11.2. Descriptive statistics of frequency and percentage were performed all the study variables. Chi square test were used to measure the association between the CP response with ER status. P<0.05 considered as statistically significance.
Crossed Testicular Ectopia / Transverse Testicular Ectopia is a rare but well known congenital anomaly in which both gonads migrate towards same Hemiscrotum. Most of the cases were found associated with other abnormality such as Persistent Mullerian Duct Syndrome, Inguinal hernia, Hermaphroditism and other scrotal abnormality. Most of the cases reported in literature are children with very few reports in adults. About 100 cases of Transverse Testicular Ectopia were reported in literature till now. We report a case of Transverse Testicular Ectopia in a 42 year old gentleman presented with partially reducible Left Inguinal Hernia with non-palpable Right Testis. On exploration, one testis with rudimentary Uterus and bilateral rudimentary Fallopian tubes were present in Left Inguinal Canal while another testis in Left Hemiscrotum. Castration with left hernioplasty done as the patients is adult.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
