A middle aged labourer was admitted into hospital for prolapse of the rectum about 4 inches in length, with discharge of mucus, tenesmus and incontinence of urine for the past li years. His main complaint was the continuous dribbling of urine. A tentative diagnosis of chronic bacillary dysentery, which had caused the rectal prolapse, and a reflex irritation of the bladder causing incontinence w...

BACKGROUND CT based brachytherapy allows 3-dimensional (3D) assessment of organs at risk (OAR) doses with dose volume histograms (DVHs). The purpose of this study was to compare computed tomography (CT) based volumetric calculations and International Commission on Radiation Units and Measurements (ICRU) reference-point estimates of radiation doses to the bladder and rectum in patients with carc...

Micropapillary variant of urothelial carcinoma (UC) of the bladder is an aggressive tumour, comprising 0.6-6% of all UC. It generally presents with high-grade and stage, and has been reported as having a worse prognosis when compared to traditional UC. We report the case of a 58-year-old man who presented with macroscopic haematuria. The patient was diagnosed with high-grade urothelial carcinom...

Purpose The purpose of this study was to establish a dosimetric correlation between the bladder volume and its effects on the dose received by the organs at risk (OARs) (urinary bladder, rectum, and sigmoid) during computed tomography (CT)-guided high-dose-rate (HDR) brachytherapy in carcinoma cervix, and to determine an optimum bladder volume to limit the dose to OARs. Material and methods S...

cutaneous metastases of rectal carcinoma is a rare event. it occurs in fewer than 4% of all patients with rectal cancer. when present, it typically signifies a disseminated disease with a poor prognosis. early detection and proper diagnosis of metastatic rectal cancer can significantly alter treatment and prognosis. we report a 70-year-old male who underwent rectal resection with permanent colo...

Background: Gallbladder cancer is the most common malignant tumor of biliary tract. The majority cases are adenocarcinoma (AC). Pure squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) gallbladder accounts only 3% neoplasm this organ.
 Methods: medical records all patients who underwent cholecystectomy and specimen sent to Pathology Department Sardar Patel Medical College, Bikaner, in last five years were retro...

Invasive bladder cancers frequently show lymphatic or hematogenous metastasis. Furthermore, aggressive local invasion into adjacent structures is also commonly observed. However, the occurrence of rectal stricture due to infiltration by bladder cancer is relatively rare. Here, we report three patients with aggressive bladder cancer causing rectal obstruction.

objective: to evaluate the mrna expression ratio of bcl-2/bax both in normal and tumoral bladder tissues of patients with transitional cell carcinoma (tcc) of bladder and investigate potential correlation between this expression ratio and clinical outcome. materials and methods: in this experimental study, we used real time-pcr to investigate the expression of bcl-2 and bax both in normal and t...

Background: Cervical carcinoma is the fourth most common cancer and leading cause of related deaths in women worldwide. Brachytherapy an important part treatment cervical cancer. Delivering HDR Intracavitary Covid-19 era challenging. Objective: To compare dosimetry outcomes between two fractionation schedules 9Gy 2 fractions v/s 7Gy 3 high dose rate patients with locally advanced cervix. Method...

AIMS To evaluate the influence of involvement of the peritoneal surface by carcinoma of the rectum on local recurrence and prognosis. METHODS Prospective analysis of pathological prognostic factors in 209 resections for rectal carcinoma between 1988 and 1993 with meticulous pathological technique particularly to assess the relation of tumour to the peritoneal surface. Comprehensive clinical f...
