Item Breast Tuberculosis in Patients at Tertiary Care Centre: Reveiw of Six Cases(Society for Health Care & Research Development, 2019-05) Shakti Sharma,; NC Kajal,; Kaur, Jagpal; Mathew, libin; Kaur, Jasvir; Chintala, Chiranjeevi; Neki, N.SNearly 18 % tuberculosis patients have only extrapulmonary manifestations. Tuberculosis of the breast is an uncommon disease even in countries where the incidence of pulmonary and extrapulmonary tuberculosis is high. It accounts for less than 0.1% of breast conditions in developed countries, but reaches 3–4% in regions where the disease presents with high incidence (India, Africa). The significance of mammary tuberculosis is due to very rare occurrence and usually mistaken identity with breast cancer and pyogenic breast abscess. Radiological imaging is not diagnostic. Diagnosis is based on identification of typical histological features or the tubercle bacilli under microscopy or culture. This disease can present a diagnostic problem on radiological and microbiological investigations, and thus a high index of suspicion is needed. This review is based on the discussion on the important issues relating to the diagnosis, clinical features, and management of breast tuberculosis.Item Long term clinical outcomes of adult hematolymphoid malignancies treated at Tata Memorial Hospital: An institutional audit(Indian Cancer Society, 2018-01) Khattry, Navin; Laskar, Siddhartha; Sengar, Manju; Rangarajan, Venkatesh; Tanuja, Shet; PG, Subramanian; Epari, Sridhar; Bagal, Bhausaheb; Goda, Jayant Sastri; Agarwal, Archi; Jain, Hasmukh; Tembhare, Prashant; Patkar, Nikhil; Khanna, Nehal; Punatar, Sachin; Gokarn, Anant; Shetty, Dhanlakshmi; Jain, Hemani; Bonda, Avinash; Gota, Vikram; Hasan, Syed; Kode, Jyoti; Dutt, Shilpee; Kulkarni, Suyash; Shetty, Nitin; Sable, Nilesh; Deodhar, Jayita; Jadhav, Sunita; Pawaskar, Preeti; Mathew, libin; Menon, Hari; Nair, Reena; Kannan, Sadhana; Chiplunkar, Shubhadha; Gujral, SumeetIntroduction: There is paucity of data from India about the outcomes of patients with various hematological malignancies. Since its formation in 2009, the adult hematolymphoid disease management group of the Tata Memorial Centre is dedicated to the treatment of hematological malignancies alone. In this report, we present the outcomes of patients treated at our centre over a 5 year period for various haematological malignancies in both transplant and non-transplant setting. Methods: This is a retrospective analysis of all patients registered in adult hematolymphoid disease management group between 1st January 2010 to 31st December 2014. Patients not treated at our centre were excluded from survival analysis. The cut off date for survival analysis was 31st January 2016. Results: Overall, 1869, 3633 and 544 patients with acute leukemias, various lymphomas and myeloma respectively were registered at our centre from 1st January 2010 to 31st December 2014. Of these, 1178 (63%), 3091 (85%) and 454 (83%) respectively received treatment at our centre. The cumulative probability of 5 year overall survival for patients with acute leukemias, Hodgkin's lymphoma, non-Hodgkin lymphoma and myeloma treated at our centre is 40%, 85%, 78% and 40% respectively. Four hundred and fifteen stem cell transplants were done between 14th November 2007 to 31st December 2014 with 46% being allogeneic and 54% being autologous. The 5 year overall survival of patients with allogenic and autologous transplant was 52% and 63% respectively. Conclusions: This is the largest single centre data on outcomes of various haematological malignancies from India. This real world data identifies areas which need further attention to improve outcomes.
