Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFS) also known as giant cell fibrosarcoma is a rare malignant skin tumor, known for being locally aggressive but exceptionally metastatic. Tumor excision must include a wide lateral margin of 5cm to minimize recurrences. Reconstruction of the def...
Salivary gland tumours are quite rare. The most common symptom of salivary gland tumours is an expanding, painless swelling. Most are benign and are found in the parotid glands. The biggest obstacle in handling them is the difficulty in differentiating benign from malignant tumou...
Carpal tunnel syndrome is the most common entrapment neuropathy in adults, usually caused by thickening of the flexor retinaculum. Occasionally, compression of the median nerve at the wrist may be caused by the presence of an intracanalar tumor or anatomic variations. We report i...
Background and Objectives: In papillary thyroid cancer (PTC), BRAF V600E is the most prevalent genetic alteration, and in different populations, its frequency ranges from 29% to 83%. BRAF mutation is mostly detected by DNA-based molecular methods, which are labor-intensive and ti...
Objectives: Craniospinal Irradiation (CSI) requires radiotherapy delivery to the entire neuraxis. It is accomplished by using multiple overlapping beams covering the large target volume, which are then matched to one another using collimation, couch rotation or beam modifications...
Introduction: Sarcomas are responsible for about 3% of brain metastases and brain metastases are found in 1-8% of patients of sarcoma patients. One of the most prevalent malignant bone tumors in adolescents and children is osteosarcoma, which only rarely spreads to the central ne...
Background and Objective: Cancer can develop in any organ at any time; it is a cellular malignancy that causes a breakdown in normal cell-cycle regulation, leading to unchecked proliferation and a lack of differentiation. It is the main factor in human mortality. The therapeutic...
Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is the eighth most common type of cancer, with more than one-third of patients having metastases when first diagnosed. There is a paradigm shift in metastatic RCC (mRCC) management with the advent of newer therapy options. The development of new innovat...
Background: Uterine cervical cancer is the commonest form of gynecologic malignancy in Bangladesh. In locally advanced cases radiotherapy with a combination of external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) with concurrent chemotherapy and intracavitary brachytherapy (ICRT) is the mainstay of...
Cancer is a deadly disease which can affect any part of our body. Many cancers like Lung cancer, Breast cancer are present but, in our article, we mainly focused on Lung Cancer which has a high mortality rate. There are 2 types of Lung cancers mainly NSCLC (non-small cell lung ca...

Primary cardiac lymphoma (PCL) is a very rare malignancy, involving only the heart/pericardium with no or minimal evidence of extra-cardiac involvement. A 73-year-old lady presented with dyspnea on exertion. Echocardiography revealed a mass predominantly involving the right atriu...
Nocardia farcinica is an emerging opportunistic pathogen, particularly in immunocompromised patients. Early identification and appropriate antibiotic susceptibility testing are necessary for prompt diagnosis of nocardiosis as it has highly-resistant antibiotic profile. This can i...
Introduction: Globally, over 18 million new cancer cases are identified and approximately 10 million people have died from this disease in 2018. Over the years, biomarkers have developed with several applications in the field of cancer research; one such biomarker is progastrin -...
Worldwide, cervical cancer is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in women. Even though pelvic External Beam Radiotherapy (EBRT) in conventional fractionation with concurrent chemoradiotherapy followed by brachytherapy is the standard of care of locally advanced carcinom...
