Scattered radiation to gonads: Role of testicular shielding for para-aortic and homolateral illiac nodal radiotherapy
Conclusions With proper testicular shielding, doses as low as 0.28% of the prescribed dose can be achieved. This low dose is believed to maintain the fertility of the patient. (Source: Journal of the Egyptian National Cancer Institute)

Evaluation of the frequency and pattern of local recurrence following intersphincteric resection for ultra-low rectal cancer
Conclusion Intersphincteric resection with TME does not affect the local recurrence or overall survival rate in early rectal cancer T1-2 & 3, with preservation of bowel continuity and better life quality. (Source: Journal of the Egyptian National Cancer Institute)

CDX2 gene expression in acute lymphoblastic leukemia
Publication date: June 2014 Source:Journal of the Egyptian National Cancer Institute, Volume 26, Issue 2 Author(s): Hanaa H. Arnaoaut , Doha A. Mokhtar , Rania M. Samy , Sahar A. Khames , Shereen A. Omar CDX genes are classically known as regulators of axial elongation during early embryogenesis. An unsuspected role for CDX genes has been revealed during hematopoietic development. The CDX gene family member CDX2 belongs to the most frequent aberrantly expressed proto-oncogenes in human acute leukemias and is highly leukemogenic in experimental models. We used reversed transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PC...

Pelvic exenteration and composite sacral resection in the surgical treatment of locally recurrent rectal cancer
Conclusion Extended pelvic resection as pelvic exenteration and sacral resection for locally recurrent rectal cancer are effective procedures with tolerable mortality rate and acceptable outcome. The associated morbidity remains high and deserves vigilant follow up. (Source: Journal of the Egyptian National Cancer Institute)

Isolated loco-regional recurrence after radical nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma: A study of 22patients
Conclusion ILR after radical nephrectomy for RCC is more common with more advanced stages, where interval to recurrence tends to be shorter. The management should be surgical, which was possible in nearly 60% of cases. Complete excision was associated with better overall and disease free survival.

Skin sparing mastectomy: Technique and suggested methods of reconstruction
Conclusions Skin Sparing mastectomy through a circum-areolar incision has proven to be a safe and feasible option for the management of breast cancer in Egyptian women, offering them adequate oncologic control and optimum cosmetic outcome through preservation of the skin envelope of the breast when ever indicated. Our patients can benefit from safe surgery and have good cosmetic outcomeby applying different reconstructive techniques. (Source: Journal of the Egyptian National Cancer Institute)
