Esophageal Perforation After Anterior Cervical Surgery: A Case Report and Literature Review.

Summary And Background: Esophageal perforation (EP) after anterior cervical surgery is a rare but potentially life-threatening condition. EP caused by malpositioned implants in cervical spine injury with multiple comorbidities is challenging to treat simultaneously.

Study: This was a case report study.

The Pathologic Peritoneal Cancer Index (PCI) Strongly Differs From the Surgical PCI in Peritoneal Metastases Arising From Various Primary Tumors.

Background: The surgical peritoneal cancer index (sPCI) is calculated based on a subjective evaluation of the extent of peritoneal disease during surgery. The pathologic PCI (pPCI) may be a more accurate and objective method for determining the PCI. This study aimed to compare the sPCI and pPCI and to study the potential pitfalls and clinical implications of using the pPCI.

Pathological assessment of cytoreductive surgery specimens and its unexplored prognostic potential-a prospective multi-centric study.

Background And Aim: The grade/histological subtype is one of the most important prognostic markers in patients undergoing cytoreductive surgery (CRS). Our aim was to study other potential prognostic information that can be derived from the pathological evaluation of CRS specimens and provide a broad outline for evaluation of these.

Methods: This prospective study (July to December 2018) included all patients undergoing cytoreductive surgery (CRS).

Accuracy of CT Scan in Predicting the Surgical PCI in Patients Undergoing Cytoreductive Surgery with/without HIPEC-a Prospective Single Institution Study.

Our aim was to study the accuracy of CT scan in predicting the peritoneal cancer index (PCI) and the impact of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT), abdominal region, disease volume, and primary tumor site on it. This was a prospective single-center study that included patients undergoing cytoreductive surgery ± HIPEC. The CT-PCI was calculated and compared to the surgical PCI.

Hyperthermic Intrathoracic Chemotherapy (HITHOC) for Pleural Malignancies-Experience from Indian Centers.

Hyperthermic intrathoracic chemotherapy (HITHOC) has been used in addition to radical surgery for primary and secondary pleural malignancies to improve local control, prolong survival, and improve the quality of life. This study was performed to study the indications, methodology, perioperative outcomes, and survival in patients undergoing HITHOC at Indian centers. A retrospective analysis of prospectively collected demographic and clinical data, perioperative and survival data of patients undergoing surgery with or without HITHOC was performed.

Failure-to-Rescue Following Cytoreductive Surgery with or Without HIPEC is Determined by the Type of Complication-a Retrospective Study by INDEPSO.

To determine factors influencing failure-to-rescue in patients with complications following cytoreductive surgery and HIPEC. A retrospective analysis of patients enrolled in the Indian HIPEC registry was performed. Complications were graded according to the CTCAE classification version 4.

Chasing Rainbows? the Possibility of "Cure" in Patients with Colorectal Peritoneal Metastases Undergoing Cytoreductive Surgery and HIPEC-a Retrospective Study by INDEPSO.

Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and HIPEC results in a median disease-free survival (DFS) of 12-15 months, overall survival (OS) of 23-63 months, and cure in around 15% of patients with colorectal peritoneal metastases (CPM). The wide variation in OS may largely be attributed to different criteria for patient selection employed by different investigators. To evaluate outcomes of CRS and HIPEC for CPM in patients enrolled in the Indian HIPEC registry.

Treading the beaten path with old and new obstacles: a report from the Indian HIPEC registry.

Background: The Indian HIPEC registry is a self-funded registry instituted by a group of Indian surgeons for patients with peritoneal metastases (PM) undergoing surgical treatment. This work was performed to  • Evaluate outcomes of cytoreductive surgery ± HIPEC in patients enrolled in the registry.  • Identify operational problems.

Pattern of lymphatic metastasis in relation to the depth of tumor in oral tongue cancers: a clinico pathological correlation.

Carcinoma of tongue is one of the most notorious cancers of oral cavity. Multivariate analysis have shown that the parameter with greatest influence on survival is tumor thickness especially in carcinoma tongue. To study the pattern of lymphatic metastasis in oral tongue in relation to the depth of tumor.

A prospective study of prognostic factors for recurrence in early oral tongue cancer.

Background: Tongue cancer is one of the common cancers in head and neck region. Cervical node metastasis is the strongest poor prognostic factor. Other prognostic factors were also said to be of significance.
