Oropharyngeal carcinoma in fanconi anemia patient - Radiation treatment, toxicity, and a year follow-up: Case report
We report the radiation treatment for oropharyngeal carcinoma in a FA patient. Our patient was treated with RT to a total dose of 60 Gy in 30 fractions. She developed grade 3 oral mucositis, grade 3 neutropenia, and thrombocytopenia at 20 Gy which resulted in treatment break of 11 days. She again developed grade 3 mucositis, grade 2 dermatitis, grade 3 thrombocytopenia, worsening of odynophagia at 44 Gy which resulted in a treatment break of 19 days. She completed RT and is now disease-free for 1 year with a good quality of life. (Source: Indian Journal of Cancer)

Feasibility, uptake and real-life challenges of a rural cervical and breast cancer screening program in Vellore, Tamil Nadu, South India
Conclusions: Population-based cancer screening programs can be offered by secondary hospitals that also run primary care services, to increase screening rates. Clear referral systems need to be established, bearing in mind that social factors, especially poor family support, may pose a threat to treatment, in spite of easy availability of cure.

Evaluating the feasibility of utilizing Gynocular-triage-to-diagnose application with VIA (Visual inspection with Acetic acid) in community cervical cancer screening programs in rural Mysore, India
Conclusion: Gynocular triaging prevented overtreatment of 32 (18.1%) participants, and identified 7 subjects with >4 Swede score even in VIA negative cases, which would have been ignored if VIA alone was used. In summary, our study demonstrates that Gynocular triaging is feasible in community cervical cancer screening programs. (Source: Indian Journal of Cancer)

Pediatric ependymoma: A single-center experience from a developing country
Conclusion: The extent of surgical excision (maximal resection) and the adequacy of postoperative radiotherapy were the only two factors that had significantly affected the outcome. Understandably, treatment outcomes for ependymomas in developing countries still lag behind best reported outcomes, mainly due to inadequate surgical excision and postoperative radiotherapy.
