Publication date: Available online 29 August 2016 Source:Journal of the Egyptian National Cancer Institute Author(s): Dodul Mondal, Daya Nand Sharma Radiation therapy in breast cancer has evolved dramatically over the past century. It has traveled a long path touching different milestones and taking unprecedented turns. At the end, a fine tune of clinical understanding, skill, technological advancement and translation of radiobiological understanding to clinical outcome has taken place. What all these have given is better survival with quality survivorship. It is thus prudent to understand breast irradiation in a new p...

Re-irradiation for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma
Conclusion Treatment approaches may have to be personalized. Re surgery must be done in all patients in whom it is feasible. In patients in whom surgery is not feasible, re-irradiation must be evaluated as a therapeutic option especially in patients with limited volume recurrence.

Management of glioblastoma after recurrence: A changing paradigm
Publication date: Available online 28 July 2016 Source:Journal of the Egyptian National Cancer Institute Author(s): Supriya Mallick, Rony Benson, Abdul Hakim, Goura K. Rath Glioblastoma remains the most common primary brain tumor after the age of 40years. Maximal safe surgery followed by adjuvant chemoradiotherapy has remained the standard treatment for glioblastoma (GBM). But recurrence is an inevitable event in the natural history of GBM with most patients experiencing it after 6–9months of primary treatment. Recurrent GBM poses great challenge to manage with no well-defined management protocols. The challe...

Results of treatment of lymphoblastic lymphoma at the children cancer hospital Egypt – A single center experience
Conclusion Results of treatment of LBL on the St Jude’s total therapy XV study are comparable to most of the similar reported studies. Outcome of relapsing patients is extremely poor, hence there is a need to identify biologic or clinical prognostic factors including minimal residual tumor to better evaluate chemotherapy response. Steroid induced AVN, and cerebral vascular thrombosis were the main chemotherapeutic adverse events. (Source: Journal of the Egyptian National Cancer Institute)

Expression of cyclooxygenase 2 and vascular endothelial growth factor in gastric carcinoma: Relationship with clinicopathological parameters
Conclusion In gastric adenocarcinoma, COX-2 expression might serve as a powerful indicator for intestinal type carcinoma, locally advanced disease and H. pylori infection, while VEGF was related to loco-regional progression. COX-2 might be involved in the development of angiogenesis in gastric carcinoma through VEGF upregulation. (Source: Journal of the Egyptian National Cancer Institute)

Prevalence of hepatocellular carcinoma in chronic hepatitis C patients in Mid Delta, Egypt: A single center study
Conclusion The high prevalence of HCC in our HCV patients (22%) was mainly associated with decompensated cirrhosis. A national surveillance program for the detection of HCC in cirrhotic HCV Egyptian patients by combining ultrasound examination and AFP is highly recommended.

Primary ovarian carcinoid: A report of two cases and a decade registry
Conclusion Primary ovarian carcinoid is a relatively rare disease with an indolent course and excellent outcome. Carcinoid syndrome, especially carcinoid heart disease may worsen the prognosis. Total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy has been commonly used as the treatment of choice of primary ovarian carcinoid tumors.

Phyllodes tumors of the breast: Analysis of 35 cases from a single institution
Conclusion Phyllodes tumors are rare tumors that occur in relatively young women, when compared with the classical adenocarcinoma of the breast. They have a tendency to reach large sizes with absence of nodal metastasis. Although surgery is the mainstay of management, postoperative radiotherapy also appears to decrease the local recurrence rates in certain presentations.

Bacteremia due to ESKAPE pathogens: An emerging problem in cancer patients
Conclusions ESKAPE pathogens were significantly associated with higher rates of morbidity and mortality indicating the need for improving the means of prevention of these types of infections within health care premises. Microbiology laboratories have a role in defining more dangerous infections and rapid diagnostics are required in the era of resistance. (Source: Journal of the Egyptian National Cancer Institute)
