Historically, these polyps were considered benign, without malignant potential and thus clinically unimportant. At present, the WHO defines serrated/hyperplastic lesions as heterogeneous group, which include hyperplastic polyps (HP), sessile serrated adenoma (SSA)/polyp and traditional serrated adenoma (TSA). These can have malignant potential. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of dysplastic changes in SP of colon and rectum of Omani population reported at a tertiary care centre.Methods: The study was conducted in the pathology department of a tertiary care centre including endoscopic polypectomies from colon and rectum of Omani patients presenting to gastroenterology clinic reported between 2014 and 2016, and these were analysed retrospectively for dysplastic changes and their association with different clinical parameters.Results: Dysplasia was seen in 32 of 146 cases (21.9%) and 114 (78.1%) were without dysplasia. Of these dysplastic, biopsies’ only two cases (1.4%) showed high-grade dysplasia and rest 30 (20.5%) low-grade dysplasia. According to the type of polyp, dysplasia was found in TSA 8/21 cases (46.7%) and SSA 9/17 cases (53.3%). Association of dysplasia was more common in the age group of > 50 (15.07%) and male patients (62.5%).Conclusion: SPs are now common findings that a gastroenterologist faces in their daily practice. In our study of Omani population, the prevalence of dysplasia is associated with older age group, male gender, SSA/polyp and traditional serrated adenoma.Key words: Dysplasia. colorectal, polyps","PeriodicalId":73631,"journal":{"name":"Journal of cancer & allied specialties","volume":"61 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82318632","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}

We assessed the validity of three of these scoring systems for patients’ prognosis following intervention for PPC: Glasgow prognostic score (GPS) and its modified version (mGPS), platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) and neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR).Methods: EMBASE and MEDLINE databases were searched for all published studies until September 2018 using comprehensive text word and MeSH terms. Meta-analysis of observational studies in epidemiology guidelines was followed. All identified studies were analysed and relevant studies were included in the review.Results: Three studies which assessed the role of GPS, four studies that evaluated the use of NLR and three that assessed the role of PLR in patients with PPC were identified. None of these studies demonstrated any value in the pre-operative assessment of patients with PPC. The limited number of studies available precluded further statistical analysis.Conclusions: Based on available evidence, GPS, NLR and PLR do not appear to be useful scoring systems to predict prognosis of patients with PPC. Larger studies are warranted before the application of inflammatory scoring systems could be recommended in patients with PPC.Key words: Periampullary cancer, Glasgow prognostic score, modified Glasgow prognostic score, platelet-lymphocyte ratio, neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio","PeriodicalId":73631,"journal":{"name":"Journal of cancer & allied specialties","volume":"16 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82739988","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}

We investigated an immunohistochemicalexpression of Bcl-2 protein in cutaneous basal cell carcinomas (BCCs) to elucidate whether there are differences in the expression pattern related to tumour growth phenotype.Materials and Methods: The study group consisted of 45 cutaneous BCCs, which were categorised into the nonaggressive (NA-BCCs; 31 cases) and aggressive histologic variants (A-BCCs; 14 cases).Results: There were 3 tumours (6.6%) with negative staining and 42 tumours (93.4%) with positive staining for Bcl-2 protein, 10 of which (23.8%) displayed low and remaining 32 cases (76.2%) exhibited high expression. All three “Bcl-2 negative” BCCs showed aggressive-growth features (infiltrative subtypes). When Bcl-2 values were evaluated as negative/low versus high expression, there was significantly lower Bcl-2 protein expression in the A-BCCs comparedto the NA-BCCs. Even an intensity of immunostaining showed a tendency of being weaker in the A-BCCs. In spite of that, three infiltrative BCCs showed a diffuse strong immunoreactivity.Conclusion: An immunohistochemical positivity of Bcl-2 protein in the neoplastic cells of cutaneous BCC was nearly constant feature, and its decreased staining was associated with an infiltrative growth pattern. It suggests that a lowBcl-2 protein expression in tumor tissue might be considered an unfavorable prognostic indicator.Key words: Basal cell carcinoma, B-cell lymphoma-2 protein, biological behavior","PeriodicalId":73631,"journal":{"name":"Journal of cancer & allied specialties","volume":"26 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81582829","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}

Methods: It was a descriptive cross-sectional study conducted among all bone sarcoma patients recruited from Sarawak General Hospital in Kuching, Sarawak. Data collection was done using an adopted questionnaire via interview assisted survey. Unmet needs were assessed using the 59-item Supportive Care Needs Survey (SCNS-SF59). Data was entered and analyzed using SPSS version 20. Results: A total of 75 respondents participated in the study. The patients were mainly above 36 years (56%), Sarawak natives (33.3%) and married (54.7%). Majority of patients were not undergoing any active treatment (52%). Nine out of 10 items with highest ‘moderate’ to ‘high’ level unmet needs were from the domain of Health system and information. Needs from Physical and daily living, and sexuality domains were found to have statistically significant associations with ethnicity, age and marital status. Conclusion: Patients who were diagnosed with bone sarcoma had substantive unmet supportive care needs in relation with their illness trajectory. It is important that such needs to be acknowledged in order to provide quality healthcare services to them.
