Surface mould brachytherapy is a conformal radiotherapy technique that can deliver high dose to the target while sparing nearby normal structures, Here, we aim to describe the procedurals details for high-dose rate (HDR) surface mould brachytherapy in sebaceous carcinoma of eyelid in a 54-year old lady. She was hesitant for surgery and any form of invasive intervention like interstitial brachytherapy. So, she was treated with surface mould HDR brachytherapy to a total dose of 52 Gy in 13 fractions at a dose of 4 Gy per fraction delivered twice daily using Iridium-192 isotope with no acute side effects.

Article Synopsis
- - This study aims to identify clinicopathological factors, like age and tumor characteristics, that may predict peri-neural invasion (PNI) in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) based on data from 1716 patients treated between 2009 and 2019.
- - The results showed that PNI-positive patients were generally younger and had larger tumors compared to PNI-negative patients, with common tumor locations being the buccal mucosa and oral tongue; PNI was associated with other poor prognostic factors like lymph node involvement and advanced disease stage.
- - The conclusion emphasizes that PNI is a significant negative prognostic marker and that it should be included in postoperative histopathology reports to help clinicians make informed
