Abstract
Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols have emerged as a promising approach to optimize perioperative care and improve outcomes in various surgical specialties. Despite feasibility studies on ERAS in various surgeries, there remains a paucity of research focusing on gastrointestinal cancer surgeries in the Indian context. The primary objective is to evaluate the compliance rate of the ERAS protocol and secondary objectives include the compliance rate of individual components of the protocol, the complications, the length of hospital stay, and the challenges faced during implementation in patients undergoing gastrointestinal cancer surgeries in our tertiary care cancer center. In this prospective interventional study (CTRI/2022/04/041657; registered on 05/04/2022), we evaluated 50 patients aged 18 to 70 years undergoing surgery for gastrointestinal malignancies and implemented a refined ERAS protocol tailored to our institutional resources and conditions based on standard ERAS society recommendations for gastrointestinal surgeries and specific recommendations for colorectal, pancreatic, and esophageal surgeries.Our study's mean overall compliance rate with the ERAS protocol was 88.54%. We achieved a compliance rate of 91.98%, 81.66%, and 92.00% for pre-operative, intraoperative, and post-operative components respectively. Fourteen (28%) patients experienced complications during the study. The median length of stay was 6.5 days (5.25-8). Challenges were encountered during the preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative phases. The study highlighted the feasibility of implementing the ERAS protocol in a cancer institute, but specific challenges need to be addressed for its optimal success in gastrointestinal cancer surgeries.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chest wall tumors are a heterogeneous group of tumors that are managed by surgeons from diverse specialties. Due to their rarity, there is no consensus on their diagnosis and management. MATERIALS This retrospective, descriptive analysis includes patients with malignant chest wall tumors undergoing chest wall resection. Tumors were classified as primary, secondary, and metastatic tumors. The analysis includes clinicopathological characteristics, resection-reconstruction profile, and relapse patterns. RESULTS A total of 181 patients underwent chest wall resection between 1999 and 2020. In primary tumors (69%), the majority were soft tissue tumors (59%). In secondary tumors, the majority were from the breast (45%) and lung (42%). Twenty-five percent of patients received neoadjuvant chemotherapy, and 98% of patients underwent R0 resection. Soft tissue, skeletal + soft tissue, and extended resections were performed in 45%, 70%, and 28% of patients, respectively. The majority of patients (60%) underwent rib resections, and a median of 3.5 ribs were resected. The mean defect size was 24 cm2. Soft tissue reconstruction was performed in 40% of patients, mostly with latissimus dorsi flaps. Rigid reconstruction was performed in 57% of patients, and 18% underwent mesh-bone cement sandwich technique reconstruction. Adjuvant radiotherapy and chemotherapy were given to 29% and 39% of patients, respectively. CONCLUSIONS This is one of the largest single-institutional experiences on malignant chest wall tumors. The results highlight varied tumor spectra and multimodality approaches for optimal functional and survival outcomes. In limited resource setting, surgery, including reconstructive expertise, is very crucial.

Abstract
AIMS Synovial sarcoma is a rare but aggressive variant of soft-tissue sarcoma. Literature is sparse and reported mostly from the West. We analysed the clinical profiles and prognostic factors of extremity synovial sarcoma patients in order to study their clinical journey. MATERIALS AND METHODS This was a retrospective analysis. All patients with extremity synovial sarcoma treated between 1992 and 2020 were included. Patients with metastases at presentation were excluded. A descriptive analysis of demographic and clinicopathological features of patients undergoing limb salvage surgery (LSS) or amputation was carried out. Overall survival and disease-free survival were calculated for the entire cohort as well as for the LSS and amputation groups. Factors prognostic for survival were identified. RESULTS In total, 157 patients had localised extremity synovial sarcoma. Predominantly, young adults (median 31 years) and males (61%) were affected. Over 70% of patients presented after recurrence or unplanned surgeries. Sixty-seven per cent of tumours were >5 cm, 69% were deep and 23% involved bone. The limb salvage rate was 64%. In the LSS group, adjuvant radiotherapy and chemotherapy were given to 72% and 68% of patients, respectively. In the amputation group, 72% of patients received adjuvant chemotherapy. In a median follow-up of 59 months, 39.4% of patients had recurrences, the majority (61.2%) were systemic. Five-year overall survival and disease-free survival were 53.4% and 49.8%, respectively. Overall survival was 63.9% and 29.7% in the LSS and amputation groups, respectively. On multivariate analysis, tumour size, depth, omission of radiotherapy and bone invasion were found to be the adverse prognostic factors. CONCLUSION This is one of the largest studies on extremity synovial sarcoma. Mostly males and young adults were affected. The limb salvage rate was 64%, despite most being referred after unplanned surgery. Almost 70% of patients received radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Overall survival was inferior in the amputation group. Tumour size >5 cm, depth and bone invasion were negative, whereas adjuvant radiotherapy was a positive prognostic factor for survival. Chemotherapy had no impact on survival.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Management of locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) is evolving with current emphasis on the addition of chemotherapy to short course radiotherapy (SCRT). We primarily aimed to analyse the difference in overall response rates between SCRT with sequential chemotherapy and standard long-course chemoradiotherapy (LCCRT)in LARC. METHODS After randomization, patients in arm A received 45 Gy in 25 fractions over 5 weeks with concurrent capecitabine while patients in arm B received 25 Gy in 5 fractions over 1 week followed by 3 cycles of CAPOX (capecitabine and oxaliplatin) chemotherapy. Clinical and radiological response assessment was made after the completion of neoadjuvant treatment, a week prior to surgery. Adjuvant chemotherapy was added to complete 6 months of peri-operative chemotherapy. Surgery was performed between 8 and 10 weeks of completion of radiation treatment in both arms. RESULTS Of the 33 patients recruited in this study between February 2020 to July 2021, 17 patients were randomized to arm A and 16 to arm B. The rates of complete tumour regression were 23.1% in arm A versus 35.7% in arm B (p-value = 0.683). Pathological complete response (pCR) rate was 20% arm A versus 30% in arm B (0.446). A higher number of patients in arm B experienced grade 3 diarrhoea, whereas acute skin toxicity was seen only in arm A. SCRT had fewer treatment interruptions compared to LCCRT. CONCLUSIONS SCRT followed by three cycles of CAPOX chemotherapy in the neoadjuvant setting is comparable to LCCRT in terms of tumour response. This may be a better alternative regimen with fewer treatment interruptions in a resource-limited setting.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Adult soft tissue sarcomas (STS) are rare and diverse. Current management is based on limited literature from the West. Therefore, data from different geographical regions is required, including the low-middle-income countries. This is our experience managing adult sarcomas in the tertiary cancer center of North India. MATERIALS AND METHODS This is a retrospective analysis of the structured sarcoma database of patients treated in the surgical oncology department between 1992 and 2020. The descriptive analysis includes demography, site distribution, diagnosis, histopathology variations, prior surgical interventions, and stage. RESULTS A total of 1106 soft tissue sarcoma patients were treated in three decades. Age distribution was 13%, 43%, 31%, and 11% in <20, 21-40, and 41-60 and >60 years, respectively. The male-to-female ratio was 1.73. The anatomical distribution was 17%, 42%, 23%, 7%, 7%, and 3% in upper extremity, lower extremity, trunk, retroperitoneum, head and neck, and viscera, respectively. Overall, 49% of patients had undergone prior suboptimal surgeries at community hospitals. Common histology subtypes were synovial sarcoma (18%), undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma (UPS) (13%), dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (12%), and liposarcoma (9%). A pathological discordance of 13% was identified between the initial and the final histologies. Overall, 61% of tumors were high-grade. Memorial Sloan Kettering Stages II and III were present in 33% and 35% of patients, respectively. CONCLUSIONS This is one of the largest single institutional experiences of STS from the Asian population. Mostly young adults were affected with male preponderance. The lower extremity and trunk were common subsites. Frequent histologies were synovial sarcoma and UPS. A high rate of suboptimal surgical intervention at the community level and pathological discordance was noted. This study highlights the need to establish prospective structured databases for capturing quality information related to rare malignancies and providing insights for future research.

Abstract
BACKGROUND High-risk (HR) Human papillomavirus (HPV) has been implicated in pathogenesis of squamous cell carcinomas (SCC) at several sites with mucocutaneous junctions, including the head and neck. SCC is the second most common eyelid malignancy. However, its association with transcriptionally active HR-HPV has not been adequately studied. METHODS Two index cases of eyelid HPV-associated SCC are described in detail. A retrospective cohort of eyelid SCC was examined for p16 immunoexpression. Cases demonstrating p16 positivity or equivocal staining were subjected to high-risk HPV mRNA in situ hybridization (ISH). Quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) was performed in mRNA ISH-positive cases for HPV genotyping. RESULTS The two index patients were older adult females, with upper eyelid tumours. On histology, both tumours were non-keratinizing SCC with trabecular and nested architecture reminiscent of oropharyngeal HPV-associated non-keratinizing SCC, prompting p16 immunohistochemistry, which was positive. HR-HPV mRNA ISH was positive, and qPCR detected HPV16 in both cases. Three of 20 (15%) archival cases showed p16 immunopositivity and two (10%) showed equivocal staining. However, mRNA ISH was negative. All cases showing p16 immunostaining and lacking HR-HPV were keratinizing SCCs. Thus, 9% of all eyelid SCC examined demonstrated HR-HPV. CONCLUSION The prevalence of HR-HPV in eyelid SCC is low in Indian patients. HPV-associated SCC may mimic commoner eyelid carcinomas as it lacks overt keratinization. In basaloid-appearing eyelid carcinomas, p16 immunopositivity should be followed by reflex HR-HPV mRNA ISH, as p16 immunohistochemistry alone has low specificity. The prognostic role, if any, of HPV association needs further evaluation.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Re-operative thyroid surgery (RTS) is performed in patients of differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) with residual or recurrent disease. However, there is a paucity of literature discussing experience and technique of RTS. This study aims to address this gap by providing a comprehensive review of RTS for DTC, utilizing experiences from a dedicated complex thyroid surgical oncology program at the apex hospital in a developing country. METHODS A retrospective analysis was conducted using data from the Department of Surgical Oncology's thyroid cancer database. The study period spanned from 2006 to 2022. Clinical presentation, prior surgical history, operative details of RTS, and post-operative outcomes were assessed. Descriptive analysis was performed. RESULTS During the study period, a total of 182 patients underwent re-operative thyroid surgery (RTS). The primary surgeries performed prior to RTS included near-total or total thyroidectomy in most cases (69.2%), and approximately half of the patients (48.4%) had prior neck node interventions. The RTS procedures consisted of completion total thyroidectomy in 30.8% of cases and surgery for thyroid bed recurrence in 9.9% of cases, while central node dissection was performed in 46.2% of patients and unilateral or bilateral template neck dissection was performed in 41.8% of cases. Extended resections were required in 9.3% of patients. Post-operative complications included permanent hypoparathyroidism (2.7%) and unilateral recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy (1.6%). CONCLUSIONS RTS is a complex procedure with high rates of post-operative morbidity reported in literature. Optimal outcomes require a multidisciplinary approach, thorough assessment, and skilled surgeons.

Abstract
Synovial sarcoma (SS) is one of the commonest non-rhabdomyosarcoma soft tissue sarcoma with limited treatment options in the relapsed and advanced settings. The combination of gemcitabine and docetaxel has demonstrated its role predominantly in leiomyosarcoma and pleomorphic sarcomas but has not been prospectively studied in SS. This trial assesses the efficacy, tolerability and quality of life (QoL) with this regimen in metastatic/unresectable locally advanced relapsed SS.Patients and methods This was a single-arm, two-stage, phase II, investigator-initiated interventional study among patients with metastatic or unresectable locally advanced SS who had progressed after at least one line of chemotherapy. Gemcitabine 900 mg/m2 on days 1 and 8 and docetaxel 75 mg/m2 on day 8 were administered intravenously every 21 days. The primary endpoint was 3-month progression-free rate (PFR); overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), overall response rate (ORR), safety and quality of life (QoL) constituted the secondary endpoints.Results Twenty-two patients were enrolled between March 2020 and September 2021 and the study had to be closed early due to slow accrual. The study population comprised of 18 (81.8%) patients with metastatic disease and 4 (18.2%) patients with locally advanced, unresectable disease. The most common primary sites of disease were extremity in 15 (68%) and the median number of lines of prior therapies received was 1 (range 1-4). 3-month PFR was 45.4% (95% CI 24.8-66.1) and ORR was 4.5%. Median progression-free survival (PFS) was 3 months (95% CI 2.3-3.6) and median OS was 14 months (95% CI 8.9-19.0). 7 (31.8%) patients experienced grade 3 or worse toxicities, including anemia (18%), neutropenia (9%) and mucositis (9%). QoL analysis demonstrated significant decline in certain functional and symptom scales, while financial and global health scales remained stable.Conclusion This is the first prospective study on the combination of gemcitabine and docetaxel performed specifically in patients with advanced, relapsed SS. Although the accrual of patients could not be completed as planned, the therapy did produce clinically meaningful outcomes and met its primary endpoint of 3-month PFR. This result, along with the manageable toxicity profile and stable global health status on QoL analysis, should encourage further studies.Trial registration This trial was prospectively registered under the Clinical Trials Registry of India on 26/02/2020 (Registration number: CTRI/2020/02/023612).

Abstract
Background The spectrum and significance of Variants of Uncertain Significance (VUS) mutations in breast cancer predisposition genes is poorly defined in the Indian population. Methods All new female breast cancer patients from 1 March 2019 to 28 February 2020 were screened. Those providing informed consent and without previous genetic testing were recruited. Multigene panel testing (107 genes) by next-generation sequencing was performed for all patients. Descriptive statistics was used to describe the spectrum of VUS mutations. Results Out of 236 patients recruited in the study, a VUS was detected in 89 patients (37.71%). VUS pathogenic ratio was 2.02. A total of 121 different VUS mutations in 40 different genes were detected. Fourteen patients (15.7%) had a VUS in high penetrance genes and 36 VUS mutations (29.8%) were detected in one of the genes involved in homologous recombination repair pathway. No therapeutic interventions were done based on VUS. Conclusions In this large prospective study of genetic determinants of breast cancer from India, a high prevalence of VUS (37.71%) was detected with 15.7% patients having a VUS in high penetrance genes. More evidence needs to be generated from larger multicentric studies to better understand the implications of these genetic variants and enable their reclassification.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) scan utilizes 18-fluorodeoxyglucose (18-FDG), based on the principle of higher glycolytic activity and reduced glucose-6-phosphatase levels in cancer cells. This imaging modality is usually advised in the metastatic evaluation of stage III breast cancer patients. The correlation of maximum standard uptake values of primary lesion with different pathological and molecular markers has not been studied extensively. METHODS Retrospective analysis of the data was performed from our prospectively maintained breast cancer database. All the patients who had undergone 18-FDG PET-CT scan at initial evaluation for staging between June 2017 and April 2020 were included in the study. One-way ANOVA test or Student's t-test as appropriate was performed to assess the difference of means in maximum standard uptake values (SUVmax) of the primary lesion and axillary nodes with clinical stage, histological grade, molecular subtype. Bonferroni post hoc test was also applied. RESULTS Out of 388 patients in the breast cancer database, 45 patients met inclusion criteria. There was a significant correlation of molecular subtype (p = 0.029) with SUVmax of the primary lesion. Higher primary SUVmax was associated with higher T stage (p = 0.01) and higher histological grade (p = 0.06). In each molecular subtype, there was an increase in mean SUVmax of the primary lesion with increasing histological grade and vice versa. CONCLUSIONS SUVmax of the primary lesion in breast cancer patients reflects tumor biology. Higher SUVmax can predict patients with triple-negative breast cancers and higher grades in primary tumors. However, further large-scale validatory studies are essential.

Abstract
Lymphoedema is a chronic debilitating condition characterised by diffuse swelling caused by lymphatic obstruction. The secondary form of lymphoedema is more common than the primary form. Untreated filariasis remains an important cause of lymphoedema in developing countries. The most common complication of chronic lymphoedema is cellulitis. It is also a risk factor for the development of neoplasms such as lymphangiosarcoma, squamous cell carcinoma, melanoma, lymphoma and malignant fibrous histiocytoma. We report a case of a woman in her 60s who developed squamous cell carcinoma in the background of chronic lymphoedema.

Abstract
Introduction Worldwide gastric cancer is the 5th most commonly diagnosed cancer and the leading cause of gastrointestinal cancer-related deaths. Alone surgery provides long-term survival improvements in 20% of the patients with local advanced gastric cancer. The results can be improved considering multimodal management including chemotherapy and radiotherapy. However, in low middle-income countries like India, multimodal management is challenging. Herein, we evaluated the experience of multimodal management of gastric cancer and the long-term outcome. Methods Retrospective analysis of the data of 372 patients was done from a prospectively maintained computerized database from 1994 to 2021. Records were analyzed for demographic details, treatment patterns, recurrences, and long-term outcomes (DFS and OS). Statistical analysis was done with the package SPSS version 26 (IBM Corp, Chicago, Illinois, USA). Results This study included 372 patients. The mean age of the patients was 54.07. A total of 307 patients (82.5%) were operated upfront, 45 (12%) received NACT, and 20 (5.5%) underwent the palliative procedure. A total of 53.2% underwent curative resection. R0 resection rate was achieved in 95% of patients. A total of 72.58% of patients required adjuvant treatment, and the majority of the patients underwent chemoradiotherapy. The most common site of metastasis was the liver. Median follow-up was 50.16 months. The 3-year disease-free survival and overall survival were 36.28% and 67.8%, and the 5-year disease-free survival and overall survival were 30.15% and 37.7%, respectively. Conclusion Our study suggested that multimodal management is required in locally advanced gastric cancer to achieve good long-term outcomes. The treatment sequence can be tailored based on the available resources.

Abstract
Hypothermia is common occurrence in patients undergoing colonic surgeries. We hypothesized that the underbody forced air warming blankets will be better than conventional over-body forced air warming blankets for prevention of hypothermia during laparoscopic colon surgeries. After ethics approval, sixty patients undergoing elective laparoscopic colon surgeries were randomly divided into two groups to receive warming by underbody forced air warming blanket (n = 30) or over-body forced air warming blanket (n = 30). In the operating room, epidural catheter was inserted and thereafter warming was started with the forced air warmer with temperature set at 44 °C. Intraoperatively core temperature (using nasopharyngeal probe), vitals, incidence of postoperative shivering and time to reach Aldrete Score of 10 in the postoperative period were recorded. The core temperature was higher with an underbody blanket at 60 min (36.1 ± 0.5 °C vs. 35.7 ± 0.5 °C, P = 0.005), 90 min (35.9 ± 0.5 °C vs. 35.6 ± 0.5 °C, P = 0.009), 120 min (35.9 ± 0.5 °C vs. 35.5 ± 0.4 °C, P = 0.007), and 150 min (35.9 ± 0.5 °C vs. 35.6 ± 0.4 °C, P = 0.011). In the post anesthesia care unit, the time to reach an Aldrete score of 10 was also less in the underbody blanket group (14.3 ± 2.5 min vs. 16.8 ± 3.6 min) (P = 0.003). However, there were no clinically meaningful differences in any outcome. Underbody and over-body blankets were comparably effective in preventing hypothermia in patients undergoing laparoscopic colorectal surgery under general anaesthesia.Trial registration CTRI (2019/06/019,576). Date of Registration: June 2019, Prospectively registered.

Abstract
COVID pandemic has impacted cancer care delivery and cancer surgical services globally. There is an urgent need to study the extent of the impact of COVID on cancer surgery and individual institutional response and strategies adopted to counter the adverse impact. A review of administrative and clinical policy changes adopted at the tertiary cancer center to combat COVID pandemic and resume cancer surgical services were performed. A retrospective comparative analysis of cancer out-patient census during COVID pandemic affected year and the preceding normal year along with cancer surgery data audit for the same periods was performed to assess the impact of the pandemic on cancer surgery. In addition, COVID infection rates among cancer surgery patients and healthcare workers were evaluated. There was approximately a 50% reduction in cancer outpatient registrations during COVID pandemic affected year. A trend of increasing footfalls was noted with decreasing COVID intensity and opening of lockdowns. There was a 33% reduction in major elective surgery and a 41% reduction in emergency surgery performed during the COVID period. As far as cancer surgeries are concerned, there was a 12-50% reduction in volumes involving different subsites. Overall COVID positivity rates among cancer surgery patients was low (8.17%), and approximately 30% of healthcare workers involved in cancer surgery were tested positive for COVID during the study period. Results of the current study indicate a significant impact of COVID pandemic on cancer surgical services. There was a significant impact on outpatient visits and cancer surgery volumes. However, a multidisciplinary-coordinated team approach, effective administrative and policy implementation, adoption of revised surgical safety and anesthesia protocols, COVID screening, and testing protocols facilitated resumption of cancer surgical services without adverse impact on surgical outcomes.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Primary intravenous leiomyosarcomas are rare vascular tumors with aggressive disease biology. The diagnosis and management have been challenging as little data exist from large databases. METHODS A literature search was done to identify all cases of primary leiomyosarcomas in the last five years. Clinicopathological features and management strategies were evaluated. RESULTS The median age was 53 years, predominantly females (2.5:1), presenting as metastases in up to 12.1% cases. Most tumors were locally advanced with a median size of 10cm. Inferior vena cava involvement from renal veins to infrahepatic veins remains the most frequent site (57.1%cases) while nearly half (52.8%) proceeded for surgery without histological proof. Most patients could undergo upfront resection (88.0%) with few patients receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy (4.3%) or neoadjuvant radiotherapy (2.2%). Significant multivisceral resections included right nephrectomy (41.3%), liver resection (25.7%) and left nephrectomy (2.2%). Most patients (91.8%) needed an inferior vena cava graft placement with remarkable microscopically negative margins (85.5% cases). Doxorubicin and ifosfamide were the most frequently used combination chemotherapy regimens in both pre and postoperative settings with partial responses. The median overall and disease free survival among operated patients was 60 months and 28 months respectively. In multivariate analysis large tumor, extensive inferior vena cava involvement, and need for adjuvant chemotherapy appeared significant predictors for overall survival. CONCLUSIONS Aggressive upfront surgical resection with clear margin remains the key for long-term survival. Doxorubicin-based regimens were preferred as neoadjuvant chemotherapy while adjuvant treatment with chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or both may be considered in high-risk patients.

Abstract
Background The burden of hereditary breast cancer in India is not well defined. Moreover, genetic testing criteria (National Comprehensive Cancer Network [NCCN] and Mainstreaming Cancer Genetics [MCG] Plus) have never been validated in the Indian population. Methods All new female breast cancer patients from 1st March 2019 to 28th February 2020 were screened. Those providing informed consent and without previous genetic testing were recruited. Multigene panel testing (107 genes) by next-generation sequencing was performed for all patients. The frequency of pathogenic/likely pathogenic (P/LP) mutations between patients qualifying and not qualifying the testing criteria was compared and their sensitivity was computed. Results Overall, 275 breast cancer patients were screened and 236 patients were included (median age 45 years); 30 patients did not consent and 9 patients previously underwent genetic testing. Thirty-four (14%) women had a positive family history and 35% had triple-negative breast cancer. P/LP mutations were found in 44/236 (18.64%) women; mutations in BRCA1 (22/47, 46.8%) and BRCA2 (9/47, 19.1%) were the most common, with 34% of mutations present in non-BRCA genes. Patients qualifying the testing criteria had a higher risk of having a P/LP mutation (NCCN: 23.6% vs. 7.04%, p = 0.03; MCG plus: 24.8% vs. 7.2%, p = 0.01). The sensitivity of the NCCN criteria was 88.6% (75.4–96.2) and 86.36% (72.65–94.83) for MCG plus. More than 95% sensitivity was achieved if all women up to 60 years of age were tested. Cascade testing was performed in 31 previous (16/44 families), with 23 testing positive. Conclusions The frequency of P/LP mutations in India is high, with significant contribution of non-BRCA genes. Testing criteria need modification to expand access to testing. Supplementary Information The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1245/s10434-021-10870-w.

Abstract
PURPOSE Globally, colorectal cancer (CRC) ranks third in terms of incidence and second in terms of mortality. A relatively low burden of CRC has been reported from low- and middle-income countries (LMIC), and there is a paucity of publications related to CRC from LMIC. PATIENTS AND METHODS A computerized comprehensive structured CRC clinical database was developed. All the patients with histopathologically proven CRC undergoing either curative and palliative multimodality management or surgical interventions between 2000 and 2019 were included in the study. A descriptive analysis of the demographic profile and clinical spectrum was performed. RESULTS A total of 970 patients of CRC were treated between 2000 and 2019. Of these, 401 patients (41.3%) had colon cancer and 569 (58.7%) had rectal cancer. The male-to-female ratio was 1.79:1. The mean age at presentation was 47.7 years. A total of 337 (34.7%) patients qualified as young CRC (≤ 40 years of age at diagnosis). The commonest symptom among patients with colon cancer was abdominal pain; 55.6% of patients had a right-sided primary tumor as compared with 42.2% with left-sided tumors. The commonest symptom among patients with rectal cancer was bleeding per rectum. The predominant location of the tumor was in the lower rectum (58%). Majority of patients with CRC presented with locally advanced stage II and III disease. The most common histologic subtype encountered for both colon and rectal cancers was adenocarcinoma (84.8% and 81.2%, respectively). CONCLUSION This study has revealed certain important findings related to CRC in LMIC including a higher burden of young colorectal cancer, a relatively higher proportion of rectal cancers in comparison with colon cancer, a high percentage of patients with low-rectal cancer, and advanced stage at presentation.

Abstract
PURPOSE For unresectable gallbladder cancer (GBC), gemcitabine and platinum is standard combination; however, outcome is poor. We conducted this study to find feasibility of modified flourouracil, oxaliplatin, and irinotecan in this group. MATERIALS AND METHODS We conducted a prospective, phase II single-arm pilot study. Inclusion criteria were histologically proven GBC and Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group 0-1. Primary end points were overall response rates and overall survival. The following treatment was given: oxaliplatin 85 mg/m2, leucovorin 400 mg/m2, and irinotecan 150 mg/m2, all once on day 1, fluorouracil 2,400 mg/m2 continuous intra-venous infusion over 46 hours repeated every 2 weeks, and maximum 12 doses, with primary granulocyte colony-stimulating factor prophylaxis. RESULTS Between February 2019 and July 2020, 29 patients with unresectable GBC were enrolled. The median age was 52 years, and 18 were females. The Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group was 0 in 4. Five had bilirubin > normal, and 15 each had high serum alkaline phosphatase and carbohydrate antigen 19-9. Twenty-five patients had stage IV disease, and remaining unresectable locally advanced disease. A median of 8.5 cycles was given, and 11 completed treatment. Nine stopped chemotherapy because of progression, and one because of toxicity, and treatment is ongoing in three. Twenty-two required dose reduction. A treatment delay of 1-2 weeks was seen in 25 patients. Best response was complete response 1, partial response 13 (overall response rate 48.2%), and stable disease 9. Four patients with metastatic disease underwent R0 resection. As on cutoff date, nine are surviving (three without disease). Eighteen died of PD, and in two, cause was unknown. There was no toxic death. The median overall survival and progression-free survival were 309 and 252 days, respectively. Twenty-three patients experienced grade III or IV toxicity, and common were diarrhea (13), vomiting (12), and anemia (7). CONCLUSION First-line modified flourouracil, oxaliplatin, and irinotecan is feasible in unresectable GBC with encouraging responses. Toxicities are higher but manageable. Higher response rates make this an option to explore in borderline resectable cases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND For the response assessment after chemotherapy, gold standard is always the histopathological response. However, metabolic response can also guide further treatment. Herein, this study aimed to evaluate metabolic response assessment to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in squamous cell carcinoma esophagus using PET response criteria in solid tumors (PERCIST) criteria with taking histopathological response by tumor regression grading as the standard method. METHODS Total fifty-seven patients with squamous cell carcinoma esophagus were enrolled between April 2017 to December 2018 for this prospective study. All patients were undergone for baseline PET scan before going for neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Repeat PET scan was done after neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Operable patients were taken for surgery. Final histological response was assessed by Mandard grading. Three metabolic tools [maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax), tumor regression grading, PERCIST] were compared. RESULTS The mean SULpeak of the primary lesion was 11.7 ± 5.5 (median, 10.2, range 5.5-31.8). The average percentage change (%Δ) in SUVmax was 42.9 ± 26.3. On histopathology, 5 (13.1%) patients showed complete pathological response, whereas grade II, III, IV and V in 8 (21.1%), 12 (31.6%), 10 (26.3%) and 3 (7.8%) respectively. On comparison of PERCIST with Mandard grading, agreement analysis showed that there was moderate agreement (k, 0.48). %ΔSUV peak change showed a strong correlation with %ΔSUVmax (P = 0.01) and percentage tumor to liver ratio change (P = 0.01). On comparison, these metabolic response tools showed a weak agreement (k, 0.28 with tumor to liver ratio, k, 0.38 with SUVmax). CONCLUSION After neoadjuvant chemotherapy, 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose PET/CT can help to assess the response and guide the treatment. However, a larger study is warranted to evaluate their correlation with pathological response.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) has recently emerged as a viable management option for peritoneal surface malignancy (PSM). CRS and HIPEC is a complex, multidisciplinary and resource-intensive surgical procedure. It has a steep learning curve and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. The expertise is mostly limited to few dedicated high-volume centers located in developed countries. We present a single institutional experience of 232 cases of CRS and HIPEC performed at a tertiary care cancer center in a low- and middle-income country (LMIC). METHODS A multidisciplinary PSM program was initiated in 2015 at a high-volume public-sector tertiary care cancer center in North India catering largely to patients belonging to low- and middle-income groups. Perioperative protocols were developed, and a prospective structured database was created to capture data. All patients undergoing CRS and HIPEC between January 2015 and December 2020 were identified, and the data was retrospectively analyzed for clinical spectrum, surgical details, and perioperative morbidity and mortality. RESULTS Two hundred and thirty-two patients underwent CRS and HIPEC during the study period. Epithelial ovarian carcinoma (56.5%) was the most common malignancy treated, followed by pseudomyxoma peritonei (18.5%), colorectal carcinoma (13.4%), and malignant mesothelioma (5.6%). Optimal CRS could be achieved in 94.4% of patients. Cisplatin and mitomycin were the most common drugs used for HIPEC. A total of 28.0% of patients had morbidity including deep vein thrombosis, subacute intestinal obstruction, sepsis, burst abdomen, lymphocele, urinoma, acute renal failure, and enterocutaneous fistula. The overall treatment-related mortality was 3.5%. CONCLUSIONS Results of the current study indicate that it is feasible to establish a successful CRS and HIPEC program for PSM in government-funded hospitals in LMIC facing resource constraints. The most common indication for CRS and HIPEC were carcinoma of the ovary followed by pseudomyxoma peritonei and colorectal carcinoma. Overall morbidity and mortality in the current series are comparable to global standards, reported from high-income countries. A protocol-based multidisciplinary team approach, optimal patient selection, and surgical expertise can help achieve optimal outcomes in government-funded hospitals in LMIC.

Abstract
Locally advanced breast cancer (LABC) patients require an accurate staging of the disease to rule out distant metastases. Various imaging investigations are used to stage LABC patients. The present study is a prospective comparison of conventional imaging (CI) with fusion positron-emission tomography and computed tomography (PET-CT) scans in the staging of LABC patients. Seventy-three consecutive LABC patients presenting to the breast cancer clinic of the tertiary care cancer institute were included in the study. All patients underwent contrast-enhanced computed tomography, Tv99m bone scintigraphy, and fusion PET-CT. Histology of the metastatic site was confirmed wherever possible. The disparity between the two imaging findings was compared. Doubtful lesions were observed clinically for at least 2 years to confirm their nature. PET-CT detected a higher number of lymph nodes in the axilla, internal mammary, and supraclavicular region as compared to CI. PET-CT upstaged 36.98% and downstaged 5.4% of the patients respectively leading to a change in the management in 30.13% of the patients. Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value of CI and PET-CT were 71.87%, 87.80%, 82.14%, and 80%, and 90.90%, 90%, 88.23%, and 92.30% respectively. PET-CT was more accurate in staging the LABC patients as compared to CI. PET-CT is more accurate then contrast-enhanced CT and bone scintigraphy for staging locally advanced breast carcinoma patients. It can replace multiple organ-directed imaging in staging breast cancer. It can provide accurate staging of the disease so that patients can be prognosticated and can be directed to the most appropriate treatment plans.

Abstract
Cavernous sinus thrombosis is a rare but fatal condition arising due to various infectious and noninfectious causes. Although its incidence is very low in the setting of head and neck surgery, including radical neck dissection, a high index of suspicion with prompt treatment is the key to a successful outcome. We report a case of a 50-year-old woman with a chondrosarcoma of left lower alveolobuccal complex who underwent en bloc tumour resection with infratemporal fossa clearance and left modified radical neck dissection. Subsequently, she developed cavernous sinus thrombosis, which was successfully managed with a multidisciplinary approach. This case highlights the importance of high clinical suspicion in the postoperative setting to diagnose this potentially lethal complication.

Abstract
Video assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) is an emerging tool for approaching childhood mediastinal tumors in a minimally invasive way. The magnified visibility and availability of smaller instruments has allowed to explore even areas close to the great vessels and other vital structures. The safety and feasibility of this technique has been described for a wide range of these tumors. In spite of that the literature is deficient in use of this modality in paediatric mediastinal tumors. Although widely practiced in adults, various controversies have been set forward in application of this technique in children. This article aims to explore reasons for the underutilisation of VATS in these patients and tries to explain the areas of controversy with this technique. Various ways of comparison have been attempted for a broad understanding of the finer details (comparisons between open and VATS in children, VATS in children and adults, VATS in mediastinal tumors and lung surgeries).
