Approximately 30% of these tumours are detected at an early stage, while the majority are diagnosed as locally advanced tumours. Extensive research has been conducted on neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) in head and neck cancers, aiming to reduce surgical margins, decrease distant metastasis rates, and improve overall outcomes. In this prospective study conducted at the Department of surgical oncology, Tirunelveli Medical College, 60 patients with unresectable locally advanced oral cancers were staged based on the AJCC TNM (8th edition). The period of study was from October 2018 to March 2023. Here the selected patients are examined both clinically and radiologically, measurements of the target lesions are made. These patients are subjected to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (TPF regimen) upto three cycles based on the clinical response after each cycle. reassessment done prior to surgery as done during the prechemotherapy. Adjuvant therapy post-surgery is based on the histopathology. Among the 60 patients enrolled in this study, 33 of 60 (55.0 %) were males and 27 of 60 (45%) were females. Based on age distribution 8.3% of patients were less the 40 years of age, 41.7% were between 51 to 60 years. The common risk factors were tobacco / pan chewing in 66.7% of patients, smoking in 40% of patients and alcoholism in 38.3% of patients. All the 60 patients received TPF regimen as a neo-adjuvant chemotherapy for two or three cycles and the clinical responses were recorded after NACT prior to definitive therapy (surgery vs RT. The mean and median of survival was calculated in 33 patients who had completed treatment by 2021 in view of the follow up period of at least for 24 months were mandatory to analyse the treatment outcome and disease free survival. The overall survival in surgery group was 35.1 months and RT group was 21.8 months. The disease free survival in surgery group was 28 months whereas in RT group was 16 months.Patients who have oral cavity cancers that cannot be surgically amenable up-front may experience a response rate of approximately 25% when treated with an aggressive three-drug regimen (TPF) and these patients may derive benefits from subsequent surgical treatment.","PeriodicalId":503065,"journal":{"name":"IP Journal of Diagnostic Pathology and Oncology","volume":"19 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140507376","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}

Standard protocol for grossing and histopathological techniques were followed by immunohistochemical staining with CDX2 antibody. Expression of CDX2 marker and its staining pattern in various grades and stages of tumour were recorded and compared with patient’s clinicopathological parameters.A total of 67 cases of Gastrointestinal carcinomas were taken for the study. Positive CDX2 expression was seen in 58 out of 67 cases but the intensity of expression varied. There was significant statistical correlation between the CDX2 expression and histopathological grade (p value <0.05).The present study showed consistent expression of CDX2 in gastrointestinal carcinomas.

They are classified as epithelial and non epithelial based on their origin. The epithelial type arise from epithelial neuroendocrine progenitor cells and non-epithelial type are derived from the neural crest. According to the latest WHO classification 2022, NEN are categorized into neuroendocrine tumors (NET), neuroendocrine carcinoma (NEC) and mixed neuroendocrine-non-neuroendocrine neoplasm (MiNEN). The above-mentioned classification is possible with the help of use of immunohistochemistry neuroendocrine markers namely synaptophysin, chromogranin-A and proliferation marker as ki67. Synaptophysin is entirely sensitive, and less specific. Chromogranin A is an excellent marker to follow tumour progression and recurrence but is less useful for the diagnosis as it can be elevated for multiple reasons and is therefore nonspecific but very sensitive.: This study includes 25 cases, with study duration of 2 years including all the cases of neuroendocrine tumours of gastrointestinal tract excluding pancreas. Routine H&E staining was done followed by Immunohistochemical markers consisting of synaptophysin, chromogranin-A and ki67 markers. In our study the affected mean age was 51.8 and there was slight male predominance (1.2:1). The most common site being duodenum followed by stomach, and least affected was oesophagus. Out of total 25 cases of Neuroendocrine neoplasms, 18 cases (72% were diagnosed as NET, which were further categorized into G1 (32%), G2(28%) and G3(12%). Neuroendocrine carcinoma was seen in 04 cases (16%) and 03 cases were of MiNEN.: The GI-NETs are rare but their incidence and prevalence have been increasing. Due to the improvement and advancement in the diagnostic tools and the knowledge about these tumors has helped in diagnosing more of these tumors early and accurately. For accurate grading and pathological diagnosis. It is important to carefully evaluate hot spots for the Ki-67 index, identify areas of the highest mitotic density for mitotic count, and recognize the characteristic histological features of GI-NETS.","PeriodicalId":503065,"journal":{"name":"IP Journal of Diagnostic Pathology and Oncology","volume":"54 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140506939","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}

Despite the well-established reproductive toxicity in females, information on the effects on human male fertility is scarce, contradictory, and inconclusive. This study aimed to investigate the potential histological and histochemical effects of ISO. Isotretinoin was administered orally for seven successive days to Sprague Dawley male rats in a 5-20 mg/kg/day dose range. Standard histological and immunohistochemical techniques were used to evaluate ISO side effects. High doses of ISO led to infiltration of inflammatory cells in hepatic tissues, atrophy of the kidney glomeruli, and collapse of testicular compartments. Decreased E2F4 production was positively correlated to a reduced rate of spermatogenesis. The findings provide further evidence for ISO's cytotoxic and reprotoxic potencies. These effects are probably partly due to slowing down the expression of an E2F4 transcription factor. The dysregulated gene may play an essential role in spermatogenesis. The diagnostic value of the E2F4 gene needs to be further validated by different proteomics approaches, and its precise role in spermatogenesis needs to be investigated.","PeriodicalId":503065,"journal":{"name":"IP Journal of Diagnostic Pathology and Oncology","volume":"31 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140507204","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}
