A survey of the practice of stereotactic body radiotherapy for hepatocellular and pancreatic malignancies in India
Conclusion: The SBRT for liver has increased with a usage rate of over 50% amongst respondents. Pancreatic SBRT use is infrequent and limited to inoperable or advanced cases. Lack of infrastructure and training are the main challenges in the routine adaptation of SBRT. (Source: Indian Journal of Cancer)

Serum sex hormone levels and hormone receptor status in identifying breast cancer risk in women
Conclusions: Serum estrogen and progesterone concentrations of BC patients were not significantly different when compared with apparently healthy women. Women with testosterone level below 0.26 ng/mL demonstrated a higher risk of having BC. Serum progesterone concentrations of BC patients were significantly higher among HER2 overexpressed women compared to HER2-negative women. (Source: Indian Journal of Cancer)

Stereotactic body radiotherapy as a boost after external beam radiotherapy for high-risk prostate cancer patients
Conclusions: SBRT boost treatment after pelvic irradiation has been used with a good biochemical control and acceptable toxicity in high-risk prostate cancer patients. More extensive randomized trial results are needed on the subject. (Source: Indian Journal of Cancer)

Pancreatic exocrine insufficiency occurs in most patients following pancreaticoduodenectomy
Conclusions: PD was frequently associated with PEI. Unfortunately PEI is an under recognized and under treated long-term sequel of PD. Fecal elastase 1 should be performed routinely in both symptomatic and asymptomatic patients. Pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy should be considered in every patient after PD.

Retrospective analysis of 34 febrile neutropenia episodes - therapeutic implication of multiplex polymerase chain reaction in infection diagnosis
Conclusion: Newer non–culture-based molecular technologies like SES are changing the way we manage FN. It is faster, has a higher diagnostic yield as compared to traditional culture, and helps in making rapid, evidence-based therapeutic decision-making including de-escalation of antimicrobials. It would potentially lead to a reduction in mortality and healthcare cost in the long run. (Source: Indian Journal of Cancer)

Artificial intelligence in cancer diagnostics and therapy: current perspectives
Anusree Majumder, Debraj SenIndian Journal of Cancer 2021 58(4):481-492
Artificial intelligence (AI) has found its way into every sphere of human life including the field of medicine. Detection of cancer might be AI's most altruistic and convoluted challenge to date in the field of medicine.
Embedding AI into various aspects of cancer diagnostics would be of immense use in dealing with the tedious, repetitive, time-consuming job of lesion detection, remove opportunities for human error, and cut costs and time. This would be of great value in cancer screening programs. By using AI algorithms, data from digital ...
