Increased childhood thyroid cancer in Fukushima was found to come dominantly from radiation exposure from the nuclear accident. The UNSCEAR 2020/2021 concluded that the apparent excess of thyroid cancers would not be expected at thyroid doses estimated by the UNSCEAR. The purpose of this paper is to solve the puzzle of the high childhood thyroid cancer incidence in Fukushima despite the estimated low thyroid dose.\u0000Methods: The conversion coefficient k connecting thyroid doses estimated in UNSCEAR 2020/2021 and doses based on direct thyroid dose measurements in Chernobyl: 1 GyUN2021 = k × 1 Gy (gray), was estimated by comparing incidences and dose dependences of thyroid cancers in Fukushima and Chernobyl after nuclear disasters. \u0000Results: The ratio of the observed cases /expected cases from cancer registry: of about 60 in Fukushima prefecture, was higher than the ratios observed after the Chernobyl accident. The thyroid doses estimated by UNSCEAR were corrected by adding a baseline dose to recover the severely underestimated ingestion dose. The conversion coefficients were: k =60~70 from the comparison of the excess absolute risks (EAR) and their dose dependences in Fukushima and in Chernobyl, and k =10~180 from the comparison of excess relative risk per gray (ERR/Gy) in Fukushima with those in Chernobyl. The thyroid doses might have been underestimated by about 1/50~1/100 in UNSCEAR 2020/2021.\u0000Conclusion: The dozens-fold increase of childhood thyroid cancer cases after the Fukushima nuclear accident was found to arise from radioactive iodine exposure comparable to that in Chernobyl.","PeriodicalId":10487,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Oncology and Research","volume":"3 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81904250","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is estimated that about 1 in every 4500 live births has some type of DSD, ovotesticular DSD representing around 3-10% of the cases. Given the rarity of DSD, it is an underexplored area, and little is known of ovotesticular DSD.\u0000Materials and Methods: A retrospective study on patients diagnosed with Ovotesticular DSD in a tertiary medical center from 2009 to 2018. The clinical presentation, phenotype, gonadal features, gender assignment and medical management were evaluated.\u0000Results: A total of 184 cases matched the initial search criteria. Only 9 patients with confirmed histopathological diagnosis were selected. Eight out of the nine cases evaluated presented ambiguous genitalia at birth, and only one was detected until pubertal age with presence of bilateral gynecomastia. A female 46 XX karyotype was reported in six patients, whereas the remaining three patients had mosaicism. Four patients were at pubertal age at the time of the study, and three of them required induction of puberty due to lack of sexual steroid production due to loss of gonadal organs. \u0000Discussion: Ovotesticular DSD is a rare finding with a heterogeneous spectrum concerning its genetic etiology, clinical presentation, and surgical findings. Most patients are diagnosed during infancy or childhood; few are diagnosed at pubertal age.\u0000Conclusion: Actual management and decision on gender assigning and treatment is challenging and debatable; therefore, a scrupulous clinical examination, as well as hormonal, imaging, genetic and molecular investigation is needed for a correct diagnosis. Further investigation is required to fully understand the disease.","PeriodicalId":10487,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Oncology and Research","volume":"27 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82239697","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Follow-up CT scanners were independently reviewed by two radiologists. Unidimensional RECIST 1.1 and volumetric measurements were compared at each time point, with a total of 810 measurements performed for statistical analysis. The main criterion was the inter-observer agreement for each method. The secondary criterion was the tumoral response assessment based on three different items: RECIST 1.1, spherical volumetric method, ellipsoidal volumetric method.\u0000Results: Intraclass coefficient correlation in volumetric method (0.986 [95% CI: 0.980, 0.990]) was higher than in RECIST (0.903 [95% CI: 0.861, 0.928]). Relative measurement differences with Bland and Altman plot were lower in the volumetric method with shorter limits of agreement (0.8%; upper LOA95%: 36.5; lower LOA95%: −35), versus those in RECIST (-5.1 % (upper LOA95%: 46; lower LOA95%: −57). The volumetric method (especially the ellipsoidal one) assesses the progression disease earlier than RECIST for 57% of patients, but there is no formal difference for partial response assessment.\u0000Conclusion: Volumetric assessment for tumoral response in metastatic RCC compared to unidimensional measurements had a higher inter-observer agreement and might predict disease progression earlier.","PeriodicalId":10487,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Oncology and Research","volume":"40 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91008480","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thus, in search of newer anticancer agents effective in HCC, we have explored possible usefulness of an alternative medicine Lycopodium against the human liver cancer cell line, HepG2 along with its clinical efficacy. The HepG2 cell line was challenged with Lycopodium 6C (diluted Lycopodium <1pg /mL available as alternative medicine) along with vehicle alcohol control in 24 hours. The cytopathic effect and viability test with methylene blue stain were observed. The cells were harvested for total RNA extraction, and gene expression levels of targeted cytokines -Interferon gamma (IFN γ); Interleukins - IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, IL-1β, Transforming Growth Factor- TGF-β1, TGF-β3 and Tumor Necrosis Factor alpha (TNF-α) by RT-PCR were studied. DNA fragmentation assay and cell viability assay by MTT method were also tested. After ethical permission we applied this medicine as adjunct therapy to observe any beneficial role of the medicine. Statistically significant changes of IL-10, IL-1β and TGF-β3 were observed after challenge with Lycopodium 6C. The IL-10 gene expression in malignant cells was significantly reduced with Lycopodium 6C; however, the expression is more with vehicle alcohol compared to normal control set. Thus, the medicine could decrease the excessive IL-10 gene expression to a moderate level. IL-1β and TGF-β3 gene up-regulation by the vehicle alcohol were also mitigated by the medicine Lycopodium 6C. Mild DNA fragmentation was also seen in cancer cells after challenge with the medicine. Two cases suffering from hepatocellular carcinoma showed much clinical improvement after therapy with this medicine. Lycopodium 6C may act as a supporting alternative medication for treating HCC.","PeriodicalId":10487,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Oncology and Research","volume":"23 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88196572","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

All patients with diagnosis of cancer who presented to the oncology clinic were asked whether they received COVID-19 vaccine or planning to get vaccinated. Patients, who had refused the vaccine, were educated to get vaccinated. Post counseling, they were again asked if they would agree to get vaccinated.\u0000Results: Out of 512 cancer patients, 274 (53.5%) were male. Of total, 456 (89.1%) were diagnosed cases of solid malignancy. Patients who were on active oncological treatment were 406 (79.3%). Of total 512, 396 (77.3%) patients agreed for the COVID-19 vaccine while 116 (22.7%) had refused to get vaccinated.

The results of the 1st (2011-2013) and 2nd (2014-2015) round screening showed dozens of times excess thyroid cancer detection compared to the expected from the cancer registry. Both FHMS and the United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation (UNSCEAR) summarized that thyroid cancer cases detected in Fukushima were unlikely to be attributed to radiation exposure from the absence of dose-response relation. We elucidated the response of thyroid cancer incidence to individual external doses and found the dominant radiation effect on the increased thyroid cancer incidence after the accident.\u0000Method: Association between average individual external dose based on FHMS basic survey and thyroid cancer incidence rate of dose groups was analysed by the linear regression analysis. Thyroid dose estimated in UNSCEAR 2020/2021 for 10-year-old children was used for comparison. \u0000Results: Incidence proportions of dose groups in the 2nd round showed a linear response to mean individual external dose under 2.5 mSv range.

The main differential diagnosis is the choledochal cyst. We bring a case report about a patient with biliary tract rhabdomyosarcoma, diagnosed and treated for 1 year as choledochal cyst, presenting obstructive jaundice for one year. A hepatic biopsy was done, showing hepatic fibrosis. He presented clinical worsening and was referred for liver transplant. An exploratory laparotomy was done before planning the transplant, which showed a biliary tract mass, followed by a biopsy. The anatomopathological result was RMS. Biliary tract RMS is a rare entity that should be included in the differential diagnosis of obstructive jaundice in children.
