The local recurrence of soft tissue tumours is the major morbidity and cause for this is the unplanned surgery at inexperienced peripheral centers. We noticed that a major proportion approximate one fourth patient with soft tissue tumours presented in outdoor, were with residual or recurrent lesion. Aim: The aim was to examine the clinical and pathological profile of soft tissue tumours that had undergone unplanned excision in aspect to the natural event of recurrence in respect to surgery which has been performed. Materials and methods: In total, 126 patients who had undergone prior surgery of the tumour without oncological planning presented to our institute with residual or recurrent soft tissue tumours between January 2005 to December 2014 were analyzed in a retrospective study. Results: There were a total of 126 patients analyzed. The mean age was 44.3 ± 16.9 years. Average duration from previous unplanned excision to presentation was 5.3 months (1-57 months). 29 patients were presented immediately after the first surgery with clinical residual lesion with a diagnosis of soft tissue sarcoma, while 97 patients presented after apparent local recurrence. Most of the tumours were almost evenly distributed among low and high grade (40.5% vs. 59.5%), superficial and deep seated (48.4% vs. 51.6%), and <5 cm in size (62.9%). 99 (78.6%) patients presented within 24 months after unplanned excision. 22 (17.4%) patients were presented with distant metastasis also with local recurrence. Conclusion: The appropriate planning regarding as diagnosis as treatment purpose for the soft tissue sarcoma without assuming the soft tissue mass as benign lesion. It helps to reduce the morbidity due to recurrence after inadequate surgical excision.","PeriodicalId":91204,"journal":{"name":"Archives in cancer research","volume":"4 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.21767/2254-6081.1000105","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68107838","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}

Different methods have been used for designing molecular docking algorithms which are initially command based complex procedures and are now user friendly GUI systems. Comparative study of various docking algorithms gives us useful information to select the proper algorithm for our research and design drugs of our choice by using computational techniques. The selection of particular algorithm is important for selected protein dataset. In present study, an important class of Protein, Kinases are considered, which are regulatory in nature, to find appropriate docking tool for their study. Tyrosine Kinases are particularly targeted for making inhibitors which can be used as anticancer drugs. Consequently, specifically suitable docking algorithm for Tyrosine Kinases can be helpful in drug designing against Tyrosine Kinases. This analysis explored four different docking algorithms for docking named as Auto dock, Auto dock Vina, Hex Server and Patch dock. In this study, Auto dock Vina produced suitable ligand conformations.","PeriodicalId":91204,"journal":{"name":"Archives in cancer research","volume":"4 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.21767/2254-6081.1000117","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68109951","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}

Objective of this study is to find out if there is any benefit from the combination of Gross Total Resection (GTR) of the tumor and postoperative management with Radiotherapy and Temozolomide (RT&TMZ), for the overall survival of these patients. Material and methods: In this 5 year study, were included 82 patients who underwent surgery for GBM. After the surgical removal of the tumor, there were two different options for the patients: treatment with combination of RT and TMZ, or doing nothing more. Collected information included sex, age, Ki-67 levels, preoperative Karnofsky performance score (KPS), therapeutic approach and survival time. Results: 82 patients were meeting the inclusion criteria for this study. Studying the statistical correlation of individual factors, it is clear that KPS, GTR and RT&TMZ represent statistical significance over survival of the patients. Patients with combined GTR, RT and TMZ have longer survival time, compared with all others. Conclusion: The modification of the conventional treatment for GBM, adding GTR and RT&TMZ could lead to a more efficient management and effective treatment for GBM, elongating the survival of these patients.","PeriodicalId":91204,"journal":{"name":"Archives in cancer research","volume":"4 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.21767/2254-6081.100053","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68118611","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}
