Conformal Radiotherapy in Head and neck cancers is essential in terms of improving quality of life and local control in this era. This presentation aimed at giving an overview of conformal radiotherapy and its role in HNC to a 'general audience'.
When most normal cells grow
old or get damaged, they die, and new cells take their place. Sometimes, this
process goes wrong. New cells form when the body doesn't need them, and old or
damaged cells don't die as they should. The buildup of extra cells often forms
a mass of tissue called a growth or tumor.
Primary brain tumors can be benign or malignant:
Benign brain tumors do not contain cancer cells:
Usually, benign tumors can be removed, and
they seldom grow back.
Benign brain tumors usually have an obvious
border or edge. Cells from benign tumors rarely invade tissues around them.
They don't spread to other parts of the body. However, benign tumors can press
on sensitive areas of the brain and cause serious health problems.
Unlike benign tumors in most other parts of
the body, benign brain tumors are sometimes life threatening.
Benign brain tumors may become malignant.
Malignant brain tumors (also called brain
cancer) contain cancer cells:
Malignant brain tumors are generally more
serious and often are a threat to life.
They are likely to grow rapidly and crowd
or invade the nearby healthy brain tissue.
Cancer cells may break away from malignant
brain tumors and spread to other parts of the brain or to the spinal cord. They
rarely spread to other parts of the body.
Tumor Grade
Doctors group brain tumors by grade.
The grade of a tumor refers to the way the cells look under a microscope:
Grade I: The tissue is benign. The cells
look nearly like normal brain cells, and they grow slowly.
Grade II: The tissue is malignant. The
cells look less like normal cells than do the cells in a Grade I tumor.
Grade III: The malignant tissue has cells
that look very different from normal cells. The abnormal cells are actively
growing (anaplastic).
Grade IV: The malignant tissue has cells
that look most abnormal and tend to grow quickly.
Cells from low-grade tumors (grades I and
II) look more normal and generally grow more slowly than cells from high-grade
tumors (grades III and IV).
Over time, a low-grade tumor may become a
highgrade tumor. However, the change to a high-grade tumor happens more often
among adults than children.

Types of Primary Brain
Tumors
There are many types of primary brain
tumors. Primary brain tumors are named according to the type of cells or the
part of the brain in which they begin. For example, most primary brain tumors
begin in glial cells. This type of tumor is called a glioma.
Among adults, the most common types are:
Astrocytoma:
The tumor arises from star-shaped glial cells called astrocytes.
It can be any grade. In adults, an astrocytoma most often arises in the
cerebrum.
Grade I or II astrocytoma: It may be called
a low-grade glioma.
Grade III astrocytoma: It's sometimes
called a high-grade or an anaplastic astrocytoma.
Grade IV astrocytoma: It may be called a glioblastoma or
malignant astrocytic glioma.
Meningioma:
The tumor arises i

Report Back from SGO 2024: What’s the Latest in Cervical Cancer?bkling
Are you curious about what’s new in cervical cancer research or unsure what the findings mean? Join Dr. Emily Ko, a gynecologic oncologist at Penn Medicine, to learn about the latest updates from the Society of Gynecologic Oncology (SGO) 2024 Annual Meeting on Women’s Cancer. Dr. Ko will discuss what the research presented at the conference means for you and answer your questions about the new developments.
Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.
