Background Primary vaginal carcinoma is rare, accounting for 1-2 % of all gynecological malignancies.Being rare, most observations are based on retrospective and comparative analyses. This study was aimed to retrospectively analyze the prognostic factors and its relevance in the outcomes of primary vaginal cancers.
Nasogastric intubation is a common procedure for enteral nutritional support in medical practice. Random spontaneous true knot formation in the tube is rarely encountered and is a cause of unanticipated trauma. This is a case of a true knot formation diagnosed with fluoroscopy and managed without untoward trauma.
Osseous metastasis from a primary breast cancer is common, and the skeletal related morbidity is high. However, solitary acral bony metastasis is rare and the diagnosis of these lesions poses a challenge to the physician. We describe a case of a patient treated with primary breast cancer who later presented with metastatic osteolytic bone lesions confined to a forefinger and toe.
Lung cancer has been the most common
cancer in the world for several decades. The
non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) constitutes
approximately about 80% of the total cases of lung
cancer. Therapeutic interventions in NSCLC have
shifted to the target-based approach from
histology-based approach, and this has completely
changed the face of the management of NSCLC.
Developing countries, such as India, have very
limited data compiled about the prevalence and
treatment practices of lung cancer, despite a
large burden of the disease. However, in recent
times, there has been a lot of data generated in
this regard. This article is an attempt to collate
and shine light on the available data for the
first-line treatment of NSCLC in India keeping in
mind the current standards of care in this
area.
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.
