Lessons from narrative medicine: Cancer care will improve with narrative oncologyLessons from narrative medicine: Cancer care will improve with narrative oncology
Bidhu Kalyan MohantiIndian Journal of Cancer 2021 58(4):615-618
Narrative medicine (NM) is a new discipline in healthcare that helps the patients and physicians to tell and listen to the accounts of disease, illness, and suffering. In the last 20 years, NM has moved into the realms of biomedical education, research, and training. The complexity of cancer management can gain from the medical humanism of NM. A new model of cancer care called narrative oncology (NO) with NM-based skill sets of attention, representation, and affiliation can build narrative competence, therapeutic relationship, and clinical trust. The oncologi...

Acquired cystic disease-associated renal cell carcinoma: A clinicopathologic study of eight tumors with clinical follow-up
Magdalena Chrabańska, Jakub Ryszawy, Bogna DrozdzowskaIndian Journal of Cancer 2021 58(4):608-614
Acquired cystic disease-associated renal cell carcinoma (ACD-RCC) is the major RCC subtype in patients with end-stage renal disease, specifically those with ACD on dialysis. Three patients with a total of eight tumors have been selected. The aim of this study was to analyze clinicopathologic, immunohistochemical, and prognostic features of eight ACD-RCCs. Three patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) were in the age range of 34–45 years and being treated with hemodialysis. All eight tumors were r...

Necrotizing fasciitis of the lower extremity secondary to a perforated rectosigmoid tumor
We present a case of a 68-year-old woman, in which necrotizing soft tissue infection of the left lower extremity was the presenting feature of a perforated rectosigmoid tumor. On examination, there was a tender swelling and edema with palpable crepitus in the left inguinal region and thigh. Computed tomography showed gas within the retroperitoneal tissues, with subcutaneous edema and emphysema extending from the thigh to the ankle. NF was diagnosed, and the patient underwent Hartmann's procedure and fasciotomy with an aggressive debridement of the left thigh and inguinal region. In the case of NF of the lower ex...

Triple-negative breast cancers (TNBC) are one of the most aggressive forms of breast cancers. With poor patient outcomes, it presents a great burden on the healthcare systems. There have been some efforts to explore the genomic changes that occur in TNBCs. However, there is not enough data on Indian TNBCs. We sought to understand the mutational landscape of key cancer-associated genes in Indian TNBC patients...

ALK-positive anaplastic large T-cell lymphoma presenting primarily as a sinonasal mass with pseudoproptosis: A case report
We report a case of anaplastic lymphoma kinase-positive anaplastic large T-cell lymphoma (ALK+ALCL) presenting primarily as a sinonasal mass with pseudoproptosis in an 11-year-old boy. The diagnosis was based on histopathological and immunohistochemical (IHC) evaluation, which is indispensable for determining tumor type. On the basis of clinicoradiological findings, provisional differential diagnoses of angiofibroma and rhabdomyosarcoma were made. Upon histopathological examination of the biopsy sent, the diagnosis of lymphoma in the sinonasal region was considered. Upon IHC, the tumor cells showed immunoreactiv...

Content analysis of patient material resources on the internet for oral cancer & #8212;An exploratory study
Conclusion: The present study revealed that a majority of the websites were fairly difficult to comprehend and readable by college-level graduates. There is a definite need to monitor the quality of the websites on oral cancer. The present study highlights the need for stringent norms and regulations regarding oral cancer made available to the common man on the internet. (Source: Indian Journal of Cancer)
