Background: Cancer is uncontrolled growth of cells with potential of local invasion and distant metastasis. The risk of developing cancer is affected by important demographic and geographic factors in addition to specific risk factors associated with individual cancers. Cancer is uncontrolled growth of cells with potential of local invasion and distant metastasis. The risk of developing cancer is affected by important demographic and geographic factors in addition to specific risk factors associated with individual cancers.Methods: This was a retrospective and an observational study comprising of 142 histopathologically diagnosed cases of cancer . Study was carried out in the department of Pathology using retrospective data of the year 2017 from January till December. Hematological malignancies were not included.Results: At the end of study highest incidence of GIT and oral cancer was observed in 35.2% samples followed by cancer breast 28.1% and uterus and adnexa in 15.4%. In 6% and 4.2% of biopsies cancer of skin and soft tissues and prostate was verified respectively. Very few cases of thyroid, renal, lymphnode and bladder cancers were observed in the present study.Conclusions: Awareness and screening programs regarding risk factors of cancer and its early diagnosis along with stringent action by the Government to restrict the use of pesticides is the need of the hour to control cancer in Punjab.

Background: Prevalence of cancer in urban India is seeing a discernible increase due to lifestyle modifications and adverse environmental exposures. The pattern of cancer incidence varies from one region to another within a large country like India. Aim and Objectives: This study was conducted to understand the socioclinical profile of the patients attending a tertiary care hospital in east Delhi for the treatment of cancer. Methods: Patients above the age of 18 years, who had been diagnosed with cancer, were recruited for our study and their socioclinical details were elicited. After 3 months they were reassessed and their treatment and side-effect profile were studied. Results: Majority of our patients were diagnosed with cancers of the oral cavity and were married men in age group of 40–60 years, residing in the National Capital Region. Patients diagnosed with breast cancer were more likely to receive chemotherapy and suffer from side effects of treatment like nausea, anorexia, and loss of weight. Conclusion: Physicians need to be aware of these complications and should incorporate a proper counselling mechanism before treatment is started in such patients. Family physicians play a defining role in the palliative management since he remains a trusted face in his community and can provide professional and psychotherapeutic support.

Background: Gall bladder carcinoma is the most common malignancy of biliary tract and one of the most aggressive gastrointestinal malignancies. The present study was conducted to know the clinical aspects, results and survival patterns after therapeutic interventions in patients of gall bladder cancer.Methods: The study is retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data of gall bladder cancer patients.Results: In 288 gall bladder cancer patient’s median age was 60 yrs. There were 219 females, 69 males (F:M=3.2:1). Median number of days from the onset of symptoms to presentation was 24.5 days. Majority of patients were stage IVB 162 (56.3%), least were stage I 3(1%). 192 (66.7%) patients received palliative treatment because of unresectable malignancy. 39 (13.5%) patients underwent noncurative surgical intervention. 57 (19.8%) patients underwent extended cholecystectomy. The median number of lymph nodes detected on histopathological examination was 4.5 (range 3-12). 21 patients (36.8%) had positive lymph nodes. Median follow up of all patients was 6 months (1-66 months). 27 (9.4%) patients survived till last date of follow up. Median survival time in groups undergoing extended cholecystectomy, noncurative surgery, chemotherapy alone was 12, 8 and 4 months respectively. The difference in median survival time between the groups was statistically significant, Log rank (Mantel-Cox) χ2=109.78, p=0.00.Conclusions: Carcinoma of the gall bladder predominately affects females. Majority of patients had delayed presentation, stage IVB. Extended cholecystectomy is the only effective treatment to achieve long term survival.
