Hybrid Minimally Invasive Esophagectomy for Carcinoma Oesophagus: Experience at Tertiary Care Centre in North Karnataka
AbstractSurgery remains the mainstay for curative treatment of carcinoma of midthoracic and lower thoracic oesophagus. In the twentieth century, open esophagectomy was the standard of care. In the twenty-first century, treatment for carcinoma oesophagus has revolutionized with incorporation of neoadjuvant treatment and application of various minimally invasive techniques for esophagectomy. At present, there is no consensus about the optimum position to perform minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE). We share our experience of MIE with modification in the port position in this article.

Revisiting the Predictive Factors for Nodal Metastasis in Oral Cancers —a Leap Towards Personalized Patient Treatment Approach
Abstract The incidence of oral squamous cell carcinoma is steadily increasing globally, and even with a better understanding of tumor biology and advanced treatment modalities, the survival of OSCC patients is still not improved. A single metastatic cervical node can decrease survival by 50%. Our study intends to identify the clinical, radiological, and histological factors, significant for nodal metastasis in the pretreatment setting. Ninety-three patients ’ data is prospectively collected and analyzed to identify the significance of various factors in predicting nodal metastasis. Clinical factors like smokeless toba...

The Effect of IL-6 174G   & gt;  C Gene Polymorphism on Gastrointestinal Cancer: a Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
In this study, a systematic and meta-analytical review of the study data on the effect of polymorphism of IL-6 174G >  C gene on gastrointestinal cancer (gastric, colorectal, and esophageal cancer) in Scopus, EMBASE, Web of Science, PubMed, and Science Direct Databases was extracted without any time limit until April 2020. In order to perform the analysis of eligible studies, the model of random effects was used and the heterogeneity of studies was investigated withI2 index. Data analysis was performed with Comprehensive Meta-Analysis software (Version 2). The total number of surveyed studies in patients with colore...

Second-Line Chemotherapy in Gastric Cancer: a Retrospective Study
AbstractSecond-line chemotherapy is recommended for patients who have disease progression after first-line chemotherapy and have a good performance status. The aim of our study is thus to determine which chemotherapy regimen is more appropriate for second-line gastric cancer treatment. Patients were included if they met the following inclusion criteria: metastatic gastric adenocarcinoma pathology; no previous treatment for local gastric cancer (surgery, chemotherapy, or radiotherapy); received first-line chemotherapy for metastatic gastric cancer and had the disease progress afterward; had adequate organ functions for seco...

First Case of Abdominal and Tunica Vaginalis Multicystic Benign Mesothelioma: Management and Review of Literature
We describe one male patient with abdominal and tunica vaginalis localizations of multicystic benign mesothelioma. The diagnosis was suspected on imaging and confirmed with histological examination. The treatment on an expert center was complete cytoreduction surgery and HIPEC, but the patient had two recurrences during the 2-year of follow-up. This is the first case of simultaneous rare localizations of multicystic benign mesothelioma. No new risk factors were identified. The case underlines the importance of regular examination of all serosa localizations. (Source: Indian Journal of Surgical Oncology)

Is it Possible to Diagnose “Non-Invasive Follicular Thyroid Neoplasm with Papillary-Like Nuclear Features” Preoperatively?
In this study, we evaluated the importance of preoperative neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio in the differential diagnosis of NIFTP. Pathology preparations of 209 patients with a follicular variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma (FVPTC) diagnosed after thyroid surgery in a tertiary health center between January 2010 and January 2020 were re-evaluated. Patients were divided into NIFTP and encapsulated follicular variant papillary thyroid carcinoma (EFVPTC) to compare. Of the patients, 58 (27.7%) were NIFTP, and 151 (72.3%) were EFVPTC. There was no statistically significant difference in terms ...

Peritoneal Surface Malignancies Originating From Urachal Carcinoma: Case Reports and Review of the Literature
AbstractUrachal carcinoma (UC) is a rare and aggressive tumor arising from the urachal remnants, with the potential for peritoneal dissemination. Patients diagnosed with UC often have a poor prognosis. To date, there is no standardized treatment. Our objective is to present two cases of patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) secondary to an UC, who were treated with cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic peroperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC). A review of the literature on CRS and HIPEC in UC suggests CRS and HIPEC to be a safe and viable treatment option. Two patients with PC of UC underwent CRS and...

Extrapelvic Endometriosis Mimicking Peritoneal Surface Malignancy: Case Report and a Review of Literature
AbstractExtrapelvic endometriosis is a rare presentation of endometriosis with atypical clinical symptoms. It can mimic peritoneal surface malignancy, as well as some abdominal infectious diseases. A 29-year-old Moroccan woman presented with abdominal pain, progressive abdominal distention, and an intermittent inflammatory syndrome. Imaging revealed multiple, progressively growing abdominal cysts. She had elevated tumor markers CA125 and CA19.9. Despite thorough investigation, several differential diagnoses persisted for a long time. Definitive pathological diagnosis could only be established after debulking surgery. Liter...
