2) Patients who received SBRT combined with transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) had significantly longer survival compared to those who did not receive TACE after SBRT.
3) SBRT is a promising bridging therapy prior to liver transplantation or hepatectomy by downstaging PVTT to make these curative procedures possible.
DR KANHU CHARTAN PATRO/ FOR ENT SURGEONS

Here are the key points about the hepatitis B vaccine and liver cancer:
- Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection can lead to chronic hepatitis B and significantly increase the risk of developing liver cancer later in life.
- The hepatitis B vaccine is effective at preventing HBV infection and therefore helps prevent liver cancers caused by the virus. It was the first vaccine referred to as an "anti-cancer" vaccine by the FDA.
- Around 25% of people with chronic HBV infection may develop liver cancer according to the CDC. Getting vaccinated helps avoid this risk.
- The hepatitis B vaccine is available and affordable in India, ranging from around 45 rupees per pediatric dose to 250 rupees for the
DEBATE IN CA BLADDER TMT VS CYSTECTOMY
1) Dr. KanhuCharanPatro is a radiation oncologist who specializes in stereotactic radiation oncology for treating cancers like urinary bladder cancer.
2) The document discusses trimodal therapy (TMT) versus radical cystectomy (surgery to remove the bladder) for treating urinary bladder cancer, citing evidence from studies that TMT may provide comparable survival outcomes to cystectomy with fewer side effects and better quality of life.
3) A meta-analysis of over 50,000 patients found that TMT had non-inferior overall survival rates to cystectomy at over 10 years and may be a reasonable alternative for patients who cannot undergo or do not want surgery.
ROSE CASE CARDIAC ARRHYTHMIA SBRT
1) Stereotactic arrhythmia radioablation (STAR) is a non-invasive technique using SBRT to treat refractory ventricular tachycardia (VT).
2) The first human case was reported in 2015 where a single fraction of 33Gy targeted to the scar substrate significantly reduced the VT burden.
3) Target delineation involves multimodality cardiac imaging including CT, MRI, nuclear imaging and electroanatomical mapping to identify and track the scar substrate through the cardiac cycle.
NOV 2023 ONCOLOGY CARTOONS
This document discusses contrast clearance analysis (CCA) for differentiating tumor recurrence from radiation necrosis in brain tumors. CCA analyzes contrast enhancement on MRI scans obtained minutes and hours after contrast administration. Tumor tissue shows effective contrast clearance over time and appears blue on CCA, while necrotic tissue accumulates contrast and appears red. CCA has shown high diagnostic accuracy for this differentiation compared to standard MRI. The document provides examples of CCA images for different types of brain lesions, demonstrating the visualization of tumor versus reactive tissue.

Breast cancer: Post menopausal endocrine therapy
Breast cancer in postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive (HR+) status is a common and complex condition that necessitates a multifaceted approach to management. HR+ breast cancer means that the cancer cells grow in response to hormones such as estrogen and progesterone. This subtype is prevalent among postmenopausal women and typically exhibits a more indolent course compared to other forms of breast cancer, which allows for a variety of treatment options.
Diagnosis and Staging
The diagnosis of HR+ breast cancer begins with clinical evaluation, imaging, and biopsy. Imaging modalities such as mammography, ultrasound, and MRI help in assessing the extent of the disease. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemical staining of the biopsy sample confirm the diagnosis and hormone receptor status by identifying the presence of estrogen receptors (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR) on the tumor cells.
Staging involves determining the size of the tumor (T), the involvement of regional lymph nodes (N), and the presence of distant metastasis (M). The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system is commonly used. Accurate staging is critical as it guides treatment decisions.
Treatment Options
Endocrine Therapy
Endocrine therapy is the cornerstone of treatment for HR+ breast cancer in postmenopausal women. The primary goal is to reduce the levels of estrogen or block its effects on cancer cells. Commonly used agents include:
Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs): Tamoxifen is a SERM that binds to estrogen receptors, blocking estrogen from stimulating breast cancer cells. It is effective but may have side effects such as increased risk of endometrial cancer and thromboembolic events.
Aromatase Inhibitors (AIs): These drugs, including anastrozole, letrozole, and exemestane, lower estrogen levels by inhibiting the aromatase enzyme, which converts androgens to estrogen in peripheral tissues. AIs are generally preferred in postmenopausal women due to their efficacy and safety profile compared to tamoxifen.
Selective Estrogen Receptor Downregulators (SERDs): Fulvestrant is a SERD that degrades estrogen receptors and is used in cases where resistance to other endocrine therapies develops.
Combination Therapies
Combining endocrine therapy with other treatments enhances efficacy. Examples include:
Endocrine Therapy with CDK4/6 Inhibitors: Palbociclib, ribociclib, and abemaciclib are CDK4/6 inhibitors that, when combined with endocrine therapy, significantly improve progression-free survival in advanced HR+ breast cancer.
Endocrine Therapy with mTOR Inhibitors: Everolimus, an mTOR inhibitor, can be added to endocrine therapy for patients who have developed resistance to aromatase inhibitors.
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is generally reserved for patients with high-risk features, such as large tumor size, high-grade histology, or extensive lymph node involvement. Regimens often include anthracyclines and taxanes.

Pharmacology of Prostaglandins, Thromboxanes and Leukotrienes
This presentation gives information on the pharmacology of Prostaglandins, Thromboxanes and Leukotrienes i.e. Eicosanoids. Eicosanoids are signaling molecules derived from polyunsaturated fatty acids like arachidonic acid. They are involved in complex control over inflammation, immunity, and the central nervous system. Eicosanoids are synthesized through the enzymatic oxidation of fatty acids by cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase enzymes. They have short half-lives and act locally through autocrine and paracrine signaling.
